THERE SHOULD BE NO GAP
Matthew 26:58,
But Peter followed him afar off unto the high priest's palace,and went in,and sat with the servants,to see the end.
Gap here is talking about backsliding away from God,deviating from path of God,disobedient and so on. An example is the case of Adam and Eve,they create a big gap between them and God when they disobeyed God by eating the forbidden fruit God told them not to eat. And they were banished from the garden of Eden and lived to face the repercussion thereafter.
And they heard the voice of the Lord God walking in the garden in the cool of the day: and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the Lord God amongst the trees of the garden.
And the Lord God called unto Adam, and said unto him, Where art thou?
And he said, I heard thy voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; and I hid myself.
And he said, Who told thee that thou wast naked? Hast thou eaten of the tree, whereof I commanded thee that thou shouldest not eat?
And the man said, The woman whom thou gavest to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I did eat. (Genesis 3:8-12)
Here,we can see how the serpent deceived them and made them create a gap that was flourishing between them and God to collapse. Therefore those things that can create gap between man and God are;
- Temptation
- Covetousness
- Backsliding
- Wickedness
- Rebellion
- Faithlessness etc
All these we should avoid so that our gap with Him will be secured and be full of enjoyment. Always have a close fellowship with God so that you will always know about Him the more. Thanks
Good lessons taught here, we need to avoid all the things that we make us farther from Him
Thanks

Thats nice but to sum it up
This three points covers everything that can make up distance from God
