The divine design is that we arrange ourselves for receiv-
ing God and prepare ourselves as a vessel and a dwelling
place where God can enter and live as if we were his own
temple. We have to do this preparation by ourselves, yet
we have to acknowledge that the preparation comes from
God. This acknowledgment is needed because we do not
feel the presence or the actions of God, even though God
is in fact intimately present and brings about every good
love and every true belief we have.
—True Christianity 105
