"God will take nine steps towards us, but he will not take the tenth."

I'd like to get to God faster so God doesn't have to take nine steps.

Well this is in regards to repentance in which all we can do is receive Christ but then after we can seek Him out more in deeper relationship and service. It'd be nice but after the Fall we were like shattered vessels which made the dust and diety we were made from like shards of glass which can't do much but had He not allowed that to happen He couldn't truly have a relationship with man. Adam & Eve were One with Him in a physical-spiritual way but not them as individuals with a separate personhood that could give to Him & love Him from their true hearts because they didn't know of evil & were innocent. Eating from the tree of the knowledge of good & evil brought sin into the world yes but also brought knowledge of evil since they disobeyed God which this allowance was the only way God could have a true give & take with man. The thing He hates most He allowed so true Life could truly be not just physically but in relationship. That's all we can & have to do to be saved but many disregard grace & cheapen it. They respect His love & mercy but not His holiness & Lordship. True saving faith respects all which means the Pharisees disregard for His love & benevolence is also not saving faith. They're hard & cold especially 5 point Calvinists🤮
