God's attractiveness is beyond our imagination!
His Splendor, yes, His Glory will not even tempt us to desire for any other thing in this world. For He is more attractive than the most pleasurable sin. Then, why are we still attracted to commit sin? It's because we are ignorant, or not totally aware of God's Attraction.
But if God who said, "Let light shine out of darkness," reveal or unfold His Glory to us "to give us the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Christ" (2 Cor 4:6) -- then, we could have at least a glimpse of His Magnificence and we would begin to become more attracted to Him -- not to sin.
So important indeed to become more and more acquainted with Him. What a wonderful thing to behold and be attracted to His Glory!
"This is what the LORD says: 'Let not the wise man boast of his wisdom or the strong man boast of his strength or the rich man boast of his riches, but let him who boasts boast about this: that he understands and knows me, that I am the LORD, who exercises kindness, justice and righteousness on earth, for in these I delight,' declares the LORD" (Jeremiah 9:23-24, NIV).

TRUSTING GOD by Jerry Bridges
"...In order to trust God we must know Him in an intimate, personal way. David said in Psalm 9:10, 'Those who know your name will trust in you, for you, Lord, have never forsaken those who seek you.' To know God's name is to know Him in an intimate personal way."

WHY GOD FASCINATES
God -- the Unique and Glorious Being -- who is promoted and exalted in the Bible will surely attract, fascinate and draw us to Himself, if we have just a glimpse of His Goodness and Greatness.

TESTIMONY
Before I was so interested to know what is going to happen in the future -- about prophecy -- but now I realize that it is more exciting and interesting to know and become more familiar with the One who ordains the future -- the God of the Bible!
It is more satisfying to know Him than to know the solution to our problems, or to know the way to make our life comfortable and easy.
And I believe that even the eternity ahead of us is not enough for us to fully grasp the glorious knowledge of His Splendor and Majesty.
