The fall has marred us so that we believe in a give and take relationshp so bad, that we, without help cannot accept a one way, get get relationship. We, by ourselves, are both unable and unwilling to let truth and perpetual gain coincide in one relationship
When you meet God you will enter a relationship in with you get, and you get - it is one way. I do not have such a relationship with any other being.
"The God who made the world and everything in it, being Lord of heaven and earth, does not live in temples made by man, nor is he served by human hands, as though he needed anything, since he himself gives to all mankind life and breath and everything. And he made from one man every nation of mankind to live on all the face of the earth, having determined allotted periods and the boundaries of their dwelling place, that they should seek God, in the hope that they might feel their way toward him and find him. Yet he is actually not far from each one of us, for
"'In him we live and move and have our being';
as even some of your own poets have said,
"'For we are indeed his offspring.'
- Acts 17: 24 - 28
