I'm not sure on this meaning. He offers us reconciliation. Not the other way around. It is on his terms. His terms are we are not good enough. The law proves it. Accepting reconciliation means putting trust in his work, no our effort.

Your "know God" was close to the buzz words used by legalists.

Martyred missionary Jim Elliot once prayed, “Lord, make my life a testimony to the value of knowing you.”

We can know Him.

As Father. He invites us to Him as sons.

Through prayer.

I can scarce take it in.
