Just a quick thought:
To Know Christ.
To Love Christ.
To be like Christ.
Can we ever know him without loving him?
Can we ever love him without the deepest desire to be more like him?
Can we ever improve and strive to follow him without knowing him better and loving him more?
“And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.” -John 17:3

Yom Kippur is the holiest day of the year (according to the Jewish faith)–the day on which we are closest to G‑d and to the quintessence of our own souls.

Peace & Blessings.
