What is the connection between knowing God and knowing myself?

Answered in 1 source

Knowing God leads to a true understanding of oneself, unveiling our sinful nature and need for salvation.

The connection between knowing God and knowing oneself is vital in Reformed theology. When we have a true knowledge of God, we inevitably gain insight into our sinful nature. This biblical understanding reveals that our righteousness is as filthy rags in God's sight, and without an awareness of our need for divine grace, we cannot appreciate God's mercy and the gift of salvation through Christ. The recognition of our position before a holy God propels us toward repentance and faith, acknowledging our need for Christ’s righteousness, which is indispensable for eternal life.
