In some religions, their believers consider their God is too far away. If the believers commit some offences or sins, they have to fast for some time and donate some money to the temple or church, so that their sins or offences would be reduced or cleaned. They don’t really have a relationship with their God since they consider God is God and I am only a human being.
But we Christians believe that God looks for us, we don’t look for God. Besides we have salvation and God’s presence and we can pray and read His words so we can communicate with God through prayer. 1 John 4: 14 says “And we have seen and testify that the Father has sent his Son to be the Savior of the world.” He’s the One who offers salvation to everyone. Christ crosses cultural boundaries and accepts any sincere person who wants to know Him, regardless of age, education, ethnicity, past sin, or social status.
The apostle Paul traveled around telling people about Jesus’ life, death, and resurrection. He shared this good news with political and religious authorities, men, women, old and young. Paul explained that (Romans 10:9). “If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is LORD,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved” (Romans 10:13) “For, Everyone who calls on the name of the LORD will be saved.”
Jesus isn’t a distant image to be honored; we must have a person-to-person connection with Him through faith. Jesus, not only loving everyone and offering eternal life to anyone who truly wants to know Him.
