Why does God not show himself?

"You cannot see My face, for no man can see Me and live!" 
--- Yehweh (Exodus 33:20) ---

'Why does God not show himself?' -
'Are you worthy?' - 
'Yes.' - 
'You are very presumptuous, and thus unworthy.' -
'No.' -
'Then you are just unworthy.' 
--- Blaise Pascal ---

"There once lived a people who believed that no man could see God and live. These were the wisest people on earth, not from themselves, but because God chose them...
It is God's mercy and kindness and love, as well as our sin, that hide his face from us."
--- Peter Kreeft ---


"Therefore, having been justfied by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ...we shall be saved from the wrath of God through Him" ...
"Therefore, let us draw near with confidence to the throne of grace, so that we may recieve mercy and find grace to help in time of need."
--- Romans 5:1,9, Hebrews 4:16 ---
