What does the Bible say about being far off from God?

Answered in 2 sources

The Bible teaches that all men by nature are far off from God due to sin, which creates enmity between humanity and God's holiness.

In Ephesians 2:11-13, Paul explains that those who were once far off, meaning alienated from God and lacking hope, are brought near by the blood of Christ. This distance is not a physical separation but a spiritual one, stemming from our sinful nature in contrast to God's absolute holiness. God's holiness, as emphasized throughout Scripture—most notably in Isaiah's vision (Isaiah 6:3)—illustrates the great chasm between a holy God and sinful humanity. Thus, being far off signifies a state of being without God and without hope in the world (Ephesians 2:12).
