What does it mean to come to God as a sinner?

Answered in 1 source

Coming to God as a sinner means acknowledging one's complete dependence on His mercy and grace.

The act of coming to God as a sinner is foundational in understanding salvation within sovereign grace theology. It acknowledges that as fallen beings, we are incapable of achieving righteousness on our own. The sermon emphasizes that a sinner is someone who is characterized by sin and has no legitimate claims on God. For a person to approach God, they must first recognize their sinful state and their need for divine mercy. This aligns with the biblical teaching that those who come to God must come in humility, seeking forgiveness through Christ's atoning sacrifice. It is through this humble approach that one experiences the fullness of salvation available in Christ, who saves to the uttermost all who come to God by Him.
