What does it mean to return to God?

Answered in 3 sources

To return to God means to repent from sin and to trust in Christ as your Redeemer, who reconciles us to the Father.

Returning to God signifies a conscious turn away from sin and a movement back toward God, who graciously invites us to do so through the redemptive work of Christ. Isaiah 44:22 implores, 'Return unto me; for I have redeemed thee.' This act of returning encompasses repentance—acknowledging our sinful condition—and faith in Jesus, who has removed the barriers between us and God. It is a call to embrace the relationship freely offered through grace, recognizing that our reconciliation is secured not by our efforts but solely by Christ's sacrifice, which allows us to worship God without shame.
