To commune with the Son we must know him and abandon our inaccurate distortions. “There are none who despise Christ, but only they that know him not; whose eyes the god of this world hath blinded, that they should not behold his glory.”89 Consequently, Owen encourages his readers to “study him a little; you love him not, because you know him not.”90 Our sin is that we do not know the bounty of Christ’s mercy, and thus we do not receive from him what he is ready to supply.91
