What does the Bible say about being brought near to God?

Answered in 4 sources

The Bible says that we are brought near to God by the blood of Christ, who reconciles us and gives us access to the Father.

In Ephesians 2:13, the Apostle Paul writes, 'But now in Christ Jesus, you who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ.' This signifies the transformative power of Christ's sacrifice, which allows sinners, who were once distant from God, to be brought close to Him. It emphasizes the truth that it is not through our efforts or righteousness but solely through Christ’s atoning work that we gain access to God's presence. When we understand this, we realize that reconciliation with God is a profound gift, rooted in His grace and love, and not in our merits.
