Why is being in Christ important for approaching God?

Answered in 1 source

Being in Christ is essential because only through Him can we meet the qualifications to enter and abide in God's presence.

Our connection to Christ is what grants us the right and ability to approach God. The sermon emphasizes that without Jesus, no one could have any hope of entering into the presence of a consuming fire like God. It is through Christ's righteousness that we are made fit to stand in God's holy place. The attributes displayed in Psalm 15 can only be genuinely exuded because of the transformative power of Christ's grace. Therefore, believers find their confidence in Him, knowing that they are accepted not based on their own merits, but solely because they are united with Christ.
