Humility is the gateway into the grace and the favor of God
Without humility you will not want to confess your sins. You will lie to yourself and say "I'm not sinning, God is okay with this..."
"If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will hear their land."
-2 Chronicles 7:14
But he gives us more grace. That is why scripture says: "God opposes the proud but shows favor to the humble"
-James 4:16
humility leads us to depend on the Lord and follow his ways.
"I know, O Lord, that the way of man is not in himself, that it is not in man who walks to direct his steps."
--Jeremiah 10:23
"If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us."
--1 John 1:8

Humility allows us to care for for others. Not only are we to be humble before God, but we are to be humble before others.
Having humility when dealing with others is more than just not acting like you are better than someone. You show humility when you are able to forgive someone and even apologize for something that might not even be your fault. You show humility by bearing someone else's burden.
Regardless what anyone says you have to humble yourself to correct a brother especially when God is telling you to do it.
When Pride comes, then comes disgrace, but with humility comes wisdom.
-Proverbs 11:2
Humility brings wisdom and honor.
"Do nothing from selfishness or empty conceit, but with humility of mind regard one another as more important than yourself; do not merely look out for your own personal interest, but also for the interests of others."
-Philippians 2:3-4
Refusing to humble yourself will lead to disaster.
