Why is it essential to be broken before God?

Answered in 1 source

Being broken before God is essential as it leads to a contrite heart, making one receptive to God's salvation.

In Psalm 34:18, it states that the Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit. This concept of brokenness is crucial in the believer's experience because it signifies recognition of our sinfulness and need for a Savior. A broken heart is a prerequisite for receiving God's grace; it teaches humility and dependence on Christ alone for salvation. As we acknowledge our limitations, we turn to God, seeking His mercy and learning that we cannot stand before Him on our own merits, but through Christ. Thus, brokenness is a sign of genuine repentance and faith.
