How do we approach God if our works are worthless?

In the recognition that our hands and feet can do nothing to earn God's favor, the correct approach is one of humility and repentance. Acknowledging our sins and the inadequacy of our works leads us to seek God's mercy through Christ. The gospel invites us to confess our need and turn towards Jesus, asking for His grace to transform us. By coming to Him in faith, we place our hope not in our actions but solely on His finished work on the cross. This is exemplified in Luke 24, where Christ offers peace and understanding to His disciples, emphasizing that true recognition of Him comes from divine revelation. Therefore, we are to rely on Him and His righteousness alone.
