What does it mean to come to Christ full of sin?

Answered in 1 source

Coming to Christ full of sin means recognizing one's complete inability to save oneself and pleading for His mercy.

To come to Christ full of sin signifies the acknowledgment of one’s total depravity and the inability to bring any righteousness of one’s own before God. As highlighted in the sermon, every individual who approaches Christ must understand their dire state, just as the leper did. In Luke's account, the leper came 'full of leprosy,' illustrating that true repentance includes a recognition of our sinful condition. This understanding drives the believer to rely solely on Christ's redemptive work, affirming that salvation is not by works but through the grace of God alone. This humble approach is essential for receiving mercy and forgiveness.
