Why is closeness to Christ important for Christians?

Answered in 1 source

Closeness to Christ is vital for spiritual vitality, joy, and fruitfulness in the believer's life.

Remaining close to Christ is essential for maintaining spiritual health and vitality. The preacher illustrates this truth by comparing the church to a garden tended by the Lord, where He promises to water and prune for greater fruitfulness. When believers drift from Christ, as depicted in the parable of the vine and branches, they risk becoming unfruitful. Thus, staying in communion with Him not only fortifies our spiritual lives but also allows us to bear the fruit of the Spirit, enriching not only ourselves but also those around us.
