How can I approach God despite my sin?

The message of the Gospel is that sin is not what holds us back from Christ; rather, it is our own self-righteousness. As John preached, we need to come straight to Christ without any intermediaries. John 1:29 declares Christ as the 'Lamb of God which taketh away the sin of the world.' Our sins have been dealt with on the cross, and we are encouraged to bring our unclean selves to Him for clemency and forgiveness. It is crucial to understand that no sin is too great for Christ to forgive, and His sacrifice has made us fit to approach God's throne of grace.
