In the words of Andrew Murray:
The greatest test of whether the holiness we profess to seek or to attain is truth and life will be whether it produces an increasing humility in us. In man, humility is the one thing needed to allow God’s holiness to dwell in him and shine through him. The chief mark of counterfeit holiness is lack of humility. The holiest will be the humblest.

This seems to conflict with assurance of salvation?

The humility is that we know can’t do it ourselves. This in turn grows our reliance on God’s grace. One of those beautiful Christian tensions.

This is also a part of sanctification in which the Holy Spirit works with us to make us more Christ-like.
