The Bible illustrates that touching God is about faith in Jesus Christ as our Savior, as demonstrated by the woman with a bleeding issue in Luke 8.
In Luke 8:43-48, the story of a woman who suffered for 12 years from a bleeding issue showcases the essence of touching God. With faith, she believed that if she could merely touch the hem of Jesus’ garment, she would be healed. Her condition represented the depth of human sinfulness, and just as her physical ailment drained her life, so too sin drains life from us spiritually. When she reached out in faith, she not only received physical healing but also spiritual restoration as Jesus called her 'daughter,' affirming her place in God’s family. This narrative underscores that through faith in Christ, we can approach and touch God, who is ever accessible to those broken by sin.
