How do we approach God when we feel sinful?

Answered in 1 source

We approach God with humility, acknowledging our sin and pleading for His mercy through Christ.

When confronted with our sinfulness, the proper approach to God is rooted in humility and dependence. David's cries in Psalm 119 reflect a heart that recognizes its need for divine intervention. He approaches God with the acknowledgment of his inability and characterizes his prayer as a plea for understanding and deliverance (Psalm 119:169-170). Likewise, the New Testament underscores that Christ serves as our mediator, enabling sinners to approach God with confidence. The assurance that our pleas will be heard is found in Christ, who represents our cause before the Father. In moments of sin and weakness, a sincere confession, coupled with a reliance on Christ's righteousness, empowers believers to seek God's mercy and find hope in His grace. God's readiness to forgive and restore is central to His character, assuring us that He hears the cries of the humble and repentant.
