Both Hereditary and Cultivated

Awake to righteousness, and sin not; 
for some have not the knowledge of God: 
I speak this to your shame. 
1 Corinthians 15:34 
"There are very many who claim to serve God, but who have no experimental knowledge of Him. 
--Their desire to do His will is based upon their own inclination, 
-----not upon the deep conviction of the Holy Spirit. 
Their conduct is not brought into harmony with the law of God
--They profess to accept Christ as their Savior, 
-----but they do not believe that He will give them power to overcome their sins. 
*They have not a personal relation with a living Savior, 
***and their characters reveal defects both hereditary and cultivated." 
E.G.W.
