According to Christianity man is an enemy of God and does not seek him (Romans 3). This short work from Thomas Chalmers shows what is necessary to move one from a life of enmity towards God to one as a child of God. It is knowing, seeing, and tasting God as infinitely valuable. Humana beings are creatures whose hearts like nature detest a vacuum and so to expel the sin and selfishness in our hearts we must fill it something that is better and more satisfying, namely, Jesus Christ.
