BEING CLOSE TO GOD IS POSSIBLE. According to the Bible, it is possible to have a close personal relationship with God. The Bible states that God called the Hebrew patriarch Abraham my friend. (Isaiah 41:8) Note, too, the warm invitation recorded at James 4:8: Draw close to God, and he will draw close to you. Thus, it is clear that a close relationship-a friendship-with God is possible. But since God is invisible, how can you draw close to him and enjoy a good relationship with him? To answer that question, consider what takes place in the development of a human friendship. It generally starts with two people getting to know each others names. Then, as they regularly communicate with each other, sharing thoughts and feelings, their friendship grows. And when they endeavour to do things for each other, their bond of friendship is strengthened. Something similar can be said of developing close relationship with God. Let us see how this is so, in my next updates.
