Hole in heart?

Do humans have a hole in their heart?

Q: It appears there is a hole in peoples heart so they say they need a god to fill it. 

A: We have no heart hole. Even with good intentions that idea is a false teaching. 

We are all born as sinners (from conception) and need to be saved from it; the wages of sin is death - The law of sin and death (produces the natural consequences). When Adam & Eve sinned, spiritually we were dead and physically would die. Because of the curse, since sin entered into creation. In the OT God promises to destroy the power of death and in the NT he tells us how he did it. It was through Jesus. The Savior is the redeemer and the one who reconciles us to God. He reclaims what was lost at the fall through Christ. And now all believers will be redeemed from it. They are born again by God upon conversion; recieve spiritual life, have their relationship restored with God (which they never had as it was lost in Eden), have recieved the righteous nature of Christ (transformed/new creation), and God indwells the believer (pernmanently). When we obey the Gospel God saves us. To himself, from himself, and we go to be with Jesus in eternity. But those unsaved, the ones who die in their sins recieve the wages of sin. They are judged by God and recieve their wages (what they earned) -the judgment is eternal punishment. So... choose life not wrath. God offers the way to be free from the curse. Choose Jesus.

Further clarity and links:

God created us for a purpose.

God created us perfect but humanity sinned in Eden and caused corruption, sin, suffering etc and ultimately death. That was all HUMANS fault - and the world continues in sin and rebellion to God. And will do so until the world ends. 

But because everything was broken God went about His plan to fix it. (*He knew man would do this before the world was created). He implemented the restoration plan (to reclaim what was lost). To bring about mans redemption. (*He already wrote their names in the Lambs Book of Life, before the world was created too). And Jesus is the key to it all.

The wages of sin is death but the free gift of God is eternal life through Christ Jesus. Rom 6:23 tells us.

God went to great lengths and expense to redeem us from the curse, and bring us back into the right relationship with Him.

Plus even better.

God was able to display the rest of His attributes because of this plan, and man and angels would know more about Him that they would not have otherwise. And believers would also live out those (righteous) characteristics in the new nature. *If it wasnt for the Fall we wouldnt know God was loving, gracious, merciful, patient, forgiving, etc, even his perfect justice, or anger and wrath (against sin and things that are wrong), as a few examples. And we then also couldnt exhibit those good moral character traits towards others as we live in this sinful world.

Originally being made in His Image we were perfect, and were reflecting his righteousness/holy character.  But because spiritual death entered (the creation) when Adam sinned, it caused separation. We were severed from God and only lived in sin (the sin nature came through Adam and all born from Adam have it). But [once born again] we are made righteous, and now live righteously. And, one day we will shed this temporary sin stained body and be given a glorified eternal (sin free) one [in Heaven].

Today, God wants us to obey the Gospel so we can be redeemed from the curse and be restored. At conversion we begin with an eternal relationship with him and can live out our life purpose. When we obey the Gospel we turn from sin and to righteousness. From self to God. And we follow Christ.

This explains the gospel in a short video. Check it out for true clarity.

“God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God” (2 Corinthians 5:21).

⭐Here is a study on God's Attributes; his character and nature, which I highly recommend.

Purpose of Mans Existence.
Man’s chief end and highest purpose in life is "to glorify God and enjoy Him forever", (Romans 11:36; 1 Corinthians 6:20; 1 Corinthians 10:31; Psalm 86:9). God says, “Bring all who claim me as their God, for I have made them for my glory. It was I who created them”(Isaiah 43:7).

These [listed in order] do a good job of explaining this matter clearer and deeper so check it out:

How the Fall affected humanity

Purpose of Man

Struggling with Life's Purpose 

Clarity on the Meaning of Life

How did the Fall bring Glory to God

Christians are able to live out our purpose again because God put us back to where we were supposed to be (*but actually much is "better" 😉).

You will also understand all of this with more clarity when you read the Bible [as a believer].

Hope this helped 🙂
