What does the Bible say about nearness to God?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that through faith in Christ, believers are brought near to God by His blood (Ephesians 2:13).

Ephesians 2:13 tells us that 'But now, in Christ Jesus, you who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ.' This scripture emphasizes that our nearness to God is not based on our efforts but is a gracious act of God through Jesus Christ. By His sacrificial death, believers are reconciled to God, moving from a state of alienation to one of intimate relationship. This nearness provides believers access to God's presence, highlighting the importance of the blood of Christ in establishing that union.
