I also think that one can come to this truth by praying for knowledge of God's nature. Through grace one comes to know God intimately, and a personal relationship with Christ is indeed possible. Once one has established this personal bond, you come to realize that His nature is one of infinite and unfathomable mercy and love.

Who establishes that personal bond?

Who establishes that personal bond?

[JMJ333]

but it is not an bond to maintain.

This should say: not an easy bond to maintain.
