What does it mean to draw near to God with a true heart?

Answered in 3 sources

Drawing near to God with a true heart involves genuine faith and a clear conscience based on Christ's cleansing work.

Drawing near to God with a true heart refers to approaching Him in sincere faith, believing in the truth of His promises and the sufficiency of Christ’s work of redemption. Hebrews 10:22 emphasizes that this approach is not based on our personal righteousness but is anchored in the cleansing that comes from Christ. Having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience implies that through faith in Jesus, believers are cleansed from guilt and sin, allowing them to confidently enter into God's presence. This act of drawing near signifies a relational intimacy with God, wherein we walk in His light and respond to His grace, understanding that our assurance does not rest in our deeds but in Christ alone.
