What Makes a Person a Christian?

The concept of Christian identity is questioned, as cultural affiliation may not indicate a genuine connection to Christ. The passage stresses the significance of a genuine bond with Jesus for eternal life, emphasizing the characteristics of those truly connected to Christ. It underscores the continuous spiritual growth and their imperfection. The key question to ask is, “Is Christ enough?”

Why Does God Feel Absent?

The relationship between Adam, Eve, and God in the Bible is one of close interaction, despite God being a spirit. While God took on a visible form for some individuals, the concept of an unseen spirit is likened to germs – real but not sensed. Through prayer and faith, people can still feel close to God, and through Jesus, the separation caused by sin is forgiven, offering hope for direct interaction in the afterlife.
