How do you get closer to God?

Perhaps you’ve heard the teaching that you need to “get closer” to God through various spiritual practices. But this is not Scripturally accurate! When we believed in Jesus, we became one with Christ. We were made one spirit with the Lord. In fact, the entire Trinity comes to take up residence inside of us (1 Corinthians 6:17; Ephesians 1:14; Romans 6:5; John 17:23). You can’t get any closer to God than that! So, while we’re still learning and growing in our understanding, we’re in union with Christ and as “close to God” as we’ll ever be!
