This is largely the present human condition: alienated, separated from God and suppressing all knowledge of God; confused about life, it’s direction, purpose and meaning; spiritually dead, living
for materialism and pleasures.
The present and permanent solution: Jesus Christ comes to deal with this 3-fold problem: bringing individuals back to God; giving direction and meaning; awakening individuals to spiritual life which is full, rich and unending (eternal). Jesus Christ is the Way, the Truth and the Life.
