What does the Bible say about living in communion with God?
Answered in 1 source
The Bible teaches that living in communion with God involves a relationship founded on love, obedience, and continual reliance on Christ as our Savior.
The communion with God is portrayed throughout the scriptures, particularly in Revelation 2-3, where the living Christ is in the midst of His church, engaging with His people. This living relationship is dynamic, involving His guidance, rebukes, and encouragements as He walks among His people, recognizing their circumstances and encouraging them toward faithfulness. The essence of this communion is rooted in the profound love demonstrated by Christ, who predestined His people before the foundation of the world, redeemed them from sin, and promises them eternal life with Him. It emphasizes not just a relationship from a distance but one that is intimate and personal, where believers are called to respond to His love with their own love and devotion.
