closer to god. where should i start?

well normally where you start is talking to God through pray and there's also hearing what he has to say through his word which is the bible if you're new to the bible you might want to start with one of the gospels and also genesis to see how man started off with God and how the relationship fell through leading to the need of the gospel

I'm course assuming you mean Jesus Christ.

I agree with lingaojing. You need to read the Bible, or the Word of God, to get closer to Him. Prayer is another way to do so. If you don't know how to pray or you have difficulties reading the Bible, there are thousands of resources out there for you.

If you start reading with the Gospels, I would suggest reading the Gospel of John first, because it encompasses more details of the crucifixion of Jesus than the other Gospels do.

You also need to join a church. The book of Hebrews tells not to forsake the assembling of ourselves (Hebrews 10:25).

Another good way to draw close to God is to read Godly non-fiction books by several Christian authors.

I wish you the best.

1. Talk to God like you should; about every little thing on your heart, as He is your father, as He is closer than your very breath.

2. Read His word every single day, when you wake up and before you go to bed, this is what I have found brings most benefit to my life.

3. Find believers who put God first, above their religion, above their religious leaders. Fellowship with true Christians greatly helps your walk
