He who loves Christ is he/she that obeys him and keeps his commandments. These are, love your neighbour as yourself, do not bear false witness against your neighbour, do not kill, and do not salve another god apart from God among others. If all these are met, Christ intimacy will not be far form you. A clean heart will ever remain the friend of Christ but a bad heart is the dueling place of evil. Therefore, to invite Christ to be close is to love one another and obey God's commandments
