Mike Bickle emphasizes the importance of beholding God's beauty and understanding His emotions as a means to deepen our relationship with Him. He highlights that the revelation of God's emotions is essential for a vibrant prayer life and for resisting sin, as it captivates our hearts and transforms us. Drawing from the examples of King David and Moses, Bickle encourages believers to seek a deeper understanding of God's character, which in turn awakens love and passion for Him within us. He asserts that the New Covenant offers a greater glory through the indwelling of the Holy Spirit, enabling us to experience true liberty and transformation. Ultimately, Bickle calls for a shift in focus from merely seeking God's power to seeking a heartfelt connection with His emotions.

Charles Finney emphasizes that God is a moral agent who experiences genuine emotions such as love, grief, and compassion towards humanity. He illustrates that it grieves God to abandon sinners to death, as He desires their salvation and has made great sacrifices for it. Finney argues that sinners compel God to give them up due to their choices, which places God in a position where He must prioritize the greater good of the universe. The sermon calls for a deeper understanding of God's affections, urging sinners to return to Him, as He yearns for their repentance and restoration.
