How do we know we have been made nigh to God?

To determine if we have been made nigh to God, we should reflect on our faith in Jesus Christ as the Son of God and our belief in His sacrificial blood as the sole means for our justification. Romans 3:24 affirms that we are justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus. If we glory only in the cross of Christ and reject any reliance on our own works or merits, this indicates a true understanding of our nearness to God. Thus, our assurance lies in Christ alone and the faith we place in Him.
