Getting Back Closer with Him - 12.29.24

Jordon Gilmore

The tearing of the temple curtain symbolizes access to God’s presence for all believers, not just the high priest.  Many Christians, however, settle for a surface-level relationship with God, stopping short of true intimacy and fellowship.  Barriers like busyness, lack of knowledge, and spiritual struggles can prevent believers from drawing near to God’s throne of grace.

Today we reflect on personal barriers preventing a deeper relationship with God, using the example of hesitation to participate in worship.  Emphasizing the significance of Jesus’ sacrifice, highlighting the opportunity for a more intimate connection with God beyond transactional prayers, let's be encouraged to move beyond surface-level relationships and embrace a closer, more transformative faith.
