What does the Bible say about faith and clinging to God?

Answered in 1 source

Faith involves an intimate relationship with God, described as cleaving to Him in dependence and trust.

The psalmist David exemplifies true faith as a profound, intimate relationship with God, where his soul expresses a thirst and longing for God. In Psalm 63, he articulates, 'My soul followeth hard after thee,' indicating a deep cleaving to God, which is not just doctrinal agreement but an earnest, passionate pursuit of God's presence. This clinging is akin to the way clods cleave together after rain—suggesting an inseparable bond forged through genuine faith.
Scripture References: Psalm 63:1-8, Job 38:38, Hebrews 12:2
