The Christian is driven to a knowledge of God that can be called experimental, or experienced. The more the believer sees of the perfections of God the more they become a part of the ir being and practice. A taste of Divine perfection will cause the Christian to be unsatisfied with their current love for and enjoyment of God and, alas, long for more. He was hard-pressed both to stay and continue to enjoy fruitful labor, but, desired more to depart and be with Christ. He seems to have had a taste of the Divine perfections.
Christian hope leads to a desire to be delivered from the bondage of sin.
The more a Christian loves God the more sin will be hated. Make me to hear joy and gladness, let the bones which you have broken rejoice. It is the desire to be cleansed that is in mind here. A Christian is one who is willing to confess before God and the world that, yes, they do sin, even as their hearts long for deliverance from sins bondage. A Christian's hope will make him prayerful.
