When God reveals Himself to us through His divine presence and truth, we are immediately confronted with the stark reality of our own lives—our actions, thoughts, and motivations often reveal a filthy, sinful nature. This moment of divine revelation is a humbling experience, where our shortcomings and need for salvation become painfully evident. For true revival—spiritual renewal and transformation—to occur in our hearts and communities, this recognition of our sinfulness must happen first. Only then can we sincerely seek God's mercy, grace, and guidance to be renewed.
