Our spiritual death (separation from God) is what makes us ask the questions,
"who am I ? .. why am I here ? .. where am I going ?"
Pascal said:
"There is a God shaped vacuum in the heart of every man than cannot be filled by any created thing,
but only by God the Creator, made known through Jesus Christ."
St. Augustine said:
"Thou hast made us for thyself, O God, and our hearts are restless until they find their rest in thee."
From God's vantage point,
the problem of man is not just he is a sinner in need of forgiveness,
his greater problem is that he is dead and in need of life.
