What does the Bible say about how a sinner must approach God?

Answered in 1 source

A sinner must approach God humbly, acknowledging their sin and seeking mercy through Jesus Christ.

In Luke 18:13-14, Jesus tells the parable of the Pharisee and the publican, illustrating how a sinner should approach God for mercy. The publican, recognizing his unworthiness, beats his chest and pleads, 'God, be merciful to me, a sinner.' This signifies that true humility and acknowledgment of one's sin are essential when coming to God. Unlike the Pharisee, who trusted in his own righteousness, the publican demonstrates that only by confessing one's sin and looking to God's mercy can a sinner receive grace.
