12/28/23 ONE LEADS TO THE OTHER
A closeness to God genders a sense of awe for God's greatness, and a sense of unworthiness for our own sin, and a hunger and thirst for righteousness.
Another way to say it is...
A closeness to God genders an awareness and desire for holiness, and hatred and shame for sin, and a realization that God calls us to holiness of heart and life, and He delivers us from all sin through His Atoning Blood, His Holy Spirit and His word.
As His word says, He gives us everything necessary for life and godliness. If we have not it is because we do not ask or we ask without faith or we ask for self centered reasons. It is the Father's good pleasure to give us the kingdom, and the Kingdom of God is righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.
