What does it mean to be driven away from God?

Answered in 1 source

Being driven away refers to the separation from God due to unbelief, sin, or misunderstandings of His grace.

In Ezekiel 34:16, God speaks about bringing back those who are driven away, which can occur in several ways. Unbelief often leads individuals away from the truth of the Gospel, creating a barrier between them and God. For instance, emotions of guilt and feelings of unworthiness can isolate individuals, leading them to believe they are beyond the reach of God's grace. In many instances, misguided or legalistic teachings may inadvertently push seekers away, wrapping the truth in complexities that deter them from approaching Christ. God's initiative to draw the driven back into His fold reaffirms His unyielding desire to restore relationships with His people, illustrating that even in our wandering, His grace is always pursuing us.
