God has an effect on human beings. The light of his glory is a potent spotlight on the true condition of a man’s soul. God will have the same effect on all mankind, eventually.

Job 42:5-6:

“I had heard of you by the hearing of the ear,
   but now my eye sees you;
therefore I despise myself…”

But God is gracious. Some will be able, along with Job, to finish this verse.

Job 42:6:

“…and [I] repent in dust and ashes."

Praise God for his grace in illuminating his Word to his church and allowing us to ‘repent in dust and ashes’ while it is still called “today”.
