How can we stand before a holy God?

Answered in 1 source

We can stand before God only through faith in Jesus Christ, our mediator, who atoned for our sins.

Standing before God as a holy entity requires a mediator because of His unapproachable holiness. Hebrews 10:19-20 tells us that it is through the blood of Christ, who consecrated a new and living way, that believers can enter the holy places. Jesus serves as our High Priest, interceding on our behalf. John 14:6 emphasizes that no one comes to the Father except through Him. Thus, our ability to stand before God is firmly rooted in faith and reliance upon Christ's sacrificial work. It is only through His righteousness being imputed to us that we are deemed acceptable by a holy God. Consequently, we can confidently approach Him, clothed in the righteousness of Christ, who represents us.
