Developing a Christian Worldview #8: Question #4 – What is the Purpose and Nature of Humanity?

God says that we exist to glorify Him, and to enjoy our connection to Him and others.

But His word also teaches that humans are, by nature, sinful, guilty before Him and alienated from Him.  

Therefore a person must realize their Guilt and then experience God's Grace through Repentance to be reconciled back to Yahweh.  Then, and only then, will they be a child of God and a follower of Jesus that will be clearly shown by living a life of obedient Gratitude toward Him.
