What does the Bible say about how sinners can approach God?

Answered in 1 source

Sinners can approach God by being clothed in the righteousness of Christ.

The biblical narrative illustrates that sinners can only approach God through the righteousness of another, specifically, Jesus Christ. In the story of Jacob and Esau, we see that although Jacob was deceitful, he was able to receive the blessing through the obedience he took on by pretending to be Esau. The connection here is clear: sinners are accepted by God not on the basis of their own merit but because they are clothed in Christ's righteousness, as noted in 2 Corinthians 5:21.
