Do people become spiritually attuned and ready for a meeting with God through our own efforts and behaviors, or do we become attuned and in common union (communion) with God through His Spirit and His grace?

Hmmmmm. Which came first; the chicken or the egg? CS Lewis says, (as close as I remember it) that, "There are two kinds of people, those who say to God They will be done, and those to who God says to thy will be done".

We are what we choose to be. God wants us to choose Him by choosing to embrace love, goodness, joy and truth, and by choosing to reject hatred, evil, sorrow and lies. In the final analysis I believe that it is all about where our heart is.

Everybody is entitled to my opinion.
