Jesus exhorts us to “buy oil” or to engage in the God ordained process of acquiring intimacy with God. We do not earn it but we invest ourselves in a costly way to position ourselves to receive it.
18 I counsel you to buy from Me gold refined in the fire, that you may be rich… (Rev. 3:18)
The most substantial way to acquire oil is by regularly feeding on God’s Word. This positions our heart before God to freely receive. These activities do not earn us God’s favor.
39 Mary, who also sat at Jesus' feet and heard (encountered) His word. (Lk. 10:39)
