Abstract
[The third element of coming into the presence of God is the affective element of the discovery of God’s presence. Upon coming into the presence of God a realization is made of a relationship to God, and that relationship is defined by an affective response to God. That response may be faith or trust in God, or some other affective response in the religious affective continuum. As the realization of the worth relationship to persons involves and expresses itself in an affective response in the respect-love range, so the realization of God’s presence and Being involves a positive religious response. Those who come into the presence of God may have any of several religious affective responses to God. These include obedience, faith, fear, love of God or a combinations of these responses.]
