Have you ever felt like God is a million miles away, even though you know He’s there? Many of us struggle with this feeling of distance, but the truth is, according to the Bible, God is always close to us!
The New Covenant Brings Us Closer
In the Old Testament, God’s relationship with His people was different. They could only approach Him through specific rituals and sacrifices, and sometimes it felt like He was distant. But with the coming of Jesus Christ, everything changed. The Bible tells us that Jesus is the bridge between us and God (see Ephesians 2:13). Through Jesus’ sacrifice, we can now have a direct and personal relationship with our Heavenly Father.
Feeling His Presence
So how do we experience this closeness with God? The passage tells us that all we need to do is say “Father” or “Abba” (a term of endearment for father in Hebrew). When we pray to God and talk to Him like our loving Dad, we can sense His presence close to us.
Trusting God in Spite of Fear
Sometimes, even though we know God is close, we may still feel afraid. The Bible tells us that trusting God doesn’t mean the absence of fear, but rather that we choose to act on His word in spite of our fear. Perhaps you’re afraid to start a new job, end a bad relationship, or take a leap of faith. But when we place our trust in God, He will give us the strength and courage to move forward.
