What do real sinners need from God?

Answered in 1 source

Real sinners need God's grace, forgiveness, the righteousness of Christ, and faith to be delivered from sin.

A real sinner, as outlined in previous discussions, is one who sincerely acknowledges their sinful nature and the weight of their iniquities. They understand their need for God's grace and mercy, which is encapsulated in David's plea in Psalm 40:13 to be delivered by the Lord. This need encompasses several vital components such as being found in Christ, experiencing the imputation of His righteousness, and receiving the gift of faith, which ultimately aligns their hearts with God's will. A true sense of sin leads a real sinner to realize that apart from Christ, they are powerless. Thus, they cry out for God to act on their behalf, which includes a need for God’s choosing grace, forgiveness of sins, the righteousness of Christ, and the ability to hear and believe the preaching of the gospel.
