Since Adam and Eve's first act of rebellion, "all," (the entire human race) have fallen into the same sin pattern and are subject to death, sin's ultimate penalty.

Since we have lost our connection with God through sin, we all experience a great hunger of the heart for that which we've lost, a longing for a kind of security which only God can give. We often try to satisfy that hunger in temporary ways: a shop-till-you-drop binge at the mall, a mad race for promotion at the office, a cruise to the Caribbean. Sometimes we try to simply drown out the hunger with alcohol, drugs, or promiscuity.

Our nameless yearnings and unfulfilled drives are basically symptoms of a loneliness for God. And there is no cure except experiencing His love in our life.

What is the only way to satisfy the hunger of the human heart?

“You have made known to me the path of life; you will fill me with joy in your presence, with eternal pleasures at your right hand.”
—Psalm 16:11.

Real satisfaction will only come when we get off the island, when that gap between us and God is bridged and we're able to walk over into His presence.
