How can we approach God according to Reformed theology?

Answered in 1 source

In Reformed theology, we approach God solely through Christ, the one mediator and sacrifice for our sins.

According to the sermon, approaching God requires understanding that we must come through Christ Jesus. He is depicted as both the altar and the sacrifice, emphasizing that our relationship with God is entirely dependent on Him. The sermon articulates that every attempt to approach God—be it through works, prayers, or any other means—is to be understood as inadequate unless it is through the person of Jesus Christ. In Reformed theology, this perspective aligns with the doctrines of grace, which dictate that salvation is by faith alone through Christ alone, establishing Him as our sole means of access to the Father.
