The Proper response is Diligence 2Peter 1:1-8 In view of the great virtue and glory of God revealed and clearly displayed in the power by which He has given us EVERYTHING that pertains to knowing Him in intimacy and the ability to be conformed to His character - the proper response is diligence in the pursuit of Him and His character within us. I hope this message is a blessing to you in your pursuit of intimacy with God, though faith in the Lord Jesus. Blessings!
