10 mins a day, closer to God.
This verse beautifully captures the transformation that takes place through Christ. Once distant from God, separated by sin, we are brought near through the blood of Jesus. His sacrifice bridges the gap, making a way for us to enter into a close relationship with our Creator. The phrase "made nigh" signifies a deep connection, a closeness that is now available to all who believe. No longer are we strangers to God; we are welcomed as His children, loved and cherished. This redemption is a powerful expression of love, breaking down every barrier that once stood between us and God. It’s a reminder of our worth, that Jesus gave His life to bring us near. In our struggles, we can find comfort knowing that nothing can separate us from His love, for we have been made close to God by His grace.
