What does the Bible say about how a sinner approaches God?

According to Proverbs 25:6-7, it is wise not to assert oneself in the presence of greatness, indicating how a sinner should approach God with humility rather than pride. In Luke 14, Jesus illustrates this through the parable of invitation to a feast, emphasizing the importance of taking the lowest seat. A true understanding of one's state before God leads to humility, where the sinner recognizes that they are unworthy and come, like the publican, seeking mercy. This position of humility allows for exaltation by God, as He lifts up the lowly in due time.
