More of God

I've been thinking this morning about why we Christians are not more thankful about the gospel of Christ. I think the reason is because we need to know more of God. If we knew more of God we would know that He is holy. If we really knew that He is holy then we would know more of how sinful we really are. If we really understood the depth of our sin how could we not be more thankful for the gospel. So I think we need to know more of God so that we will be more thankful for what God has done on behalf of sinners in Jesus the Christ.
