Answered in 5 sources
Drawing near to God is vital for Christians as it affirms our relationship and reliance on Him through Christ (Hebrews 10:22).
Hebrews 10:22 urges believers to draw near to God with a true heart in full assurance of faith. This act of drawing near is an expression of our acceptance of Christ's work on our behalf and represents a response to His invitation for fellowship. It signifies a deep relationship with God, acknowledging our dependency on Him for spiritual sustenance and strength. Through faith, we approach Him not based on our own merits but through the cleansing blood of Jesus, which undergirds our confidence in God’s grace.
