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

Answered in 2 sources

Ephesians 2:13 states that through Christ Jesus, those who were far off are brought near by His blood.

In Ephesians 2:13, the apostle Paul writes, 'But now, in Christ Jesus, ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ.' This speaks to the profound theological truth that, through the atonement of Jesus, believers who were once distant from God are reconciled and brought into a close relationship with Him. This 'nearness' is not based on our merit but solely on the sacrificial death of Christ, which satisfies God's justice and allows for communion with Him. It is a reality that transforms our position from one of alienation to acceptance.
