How can we return to God if we feel distant from Him?
Answered in 1 source
We can return to God by acknowledging our sins and seeking Him through repentance and faith in Christ (Hosea 6:1).
Feeling distant from God can be a common experience for believers, but Scripture assures us of the path back to Him. Hosea 6:1 invites us to 'come and let us return unto the Lord.' This return involves acknowledging our sins and understanding our need for God’s grace and mercy. Throughout the Bible, we see that God is always ready to receive the repentant heart. As we actively seek Him, confess our shortcomings, and rely on Christ's finished work for salvation, we find that He is faithful to restore us. Jeremiah 29:13 also reinforces that when we seek Him with all our heart, we will find Him. Therefore, God’s arms remain open for all who genuinely turn to Him in faith.
