Who can stand in the presence of the Lord?

Answered in 1 source

No one can stand before the Lord without recognizing their sinfulness and His holiness.

The question of who can stand in the presence of the Lord highlights the stark contrast between God's holiness and human sinfulness. In Malachi 3:2, we see that God's presence can be terrifying because He is the Holy One of Israel. Throughout Scripture, examples such as Jacob, Job, and Isaiah illustrate that true encounters with God evoke a deep awareness of personal sin and unworthiness. This recognition leads to repentance and ultimately to the realization that only through Christ's redemptive work can anyone approach God's throne with confidence.
