The Lord wanted the children of Israel to become a "holy nation." In order to achieve that goal, the Lord commanded them to obey His words and keep His covenants. The blessing that was promised to them if they could accomplish those commandments was that the "Lord [would] come down in the sight of all the people."
This applies to us because if we are to be worthy to be in the presence of God, we need to be obeying His commandments and keeping the covenants we've made with Him. We too can become a "holy nation" by our actions. We need to remember the blessings that God gives us and to be grateful for His mercy and grace in order to become that holy nation and to see God again.
