Why you need God?

You need to find answer to these basic questions before you try to find out "why you need God"?

Whom you belong to? Do you think your existence is confined to your parent’s physical union alone, or it is much more than that? Let me give you some details, millions die as still born or immediately after birth or born stunted or mentally challenged and exists with various complications, yet if you are reading this article means we both (you & I) have survived and enjoying the beauty of life. It should also mean that you are not the product of random choice or just a mere coincidence, but uniquely designed and placed in this universe.

God did not design humans to live independently of Him; they have a need to communicate with their Maker. To illustrate my point: When you buy a new piece of equipment, such as a camera or a computer, you expect it to come with an owner’s manual, or a handbook, that explains how to get the best use and satisfaction out of your acquisition. The Bible can be likened to such a handbook. It is a manual for human life that God, the manufacturer, as He were, has made it available to us, the users. This “user’s manual” explains what the product is designed to do and how it should be used for the best results. The Bible says, He Himself gives to all person life and breath and all things. For by Him we have life and move and exist, even as certain ones of the poets among you have said, ‘For we are also his progeny.’

We need God to set us free TO the fullest experience and participation of those things that God has given us to enjoy! We need God because without Him, we will never be satisfied. We are incomplete without union with God. It is as if there is a God-shaped vacuum in every one of us, only to be filled by the life of God in us.

A second way to answer the question of "why we need God?" is related to our own identity and wholeness. For according to the Christian way of thinking, the most fundamental essence of our nature is that we are made in "the image of God". To say it differently, we are not merely the sum total of our biological parts, we are in the words of Genesis "a living soul". St. Augustine once confessed "My heart is restless until I find my rest in Thee.". And finally, we need God to spend our eternity with him. Yes, there is something called eternity! Keep your focus on it.
