right from the beginning, God has always loved us .staying close to Him has been his plan for us ,and not far away.
we were created in His image , this was done so that we could have a real relationship with Him.
Sin is usually the real problem When we feel distant from God.The gap between us and God is created by Sin, God is niot the one that moved away from us.
As humans , We sometimes make choices that pull us far from Him, this now gives the devil a chance to build a wall of separation between us and God.
return to righteousness,this is the simple solution to this. the relationship is restored When we repent and follow God’s commandments.
When w eobey God , he stays with us.
