God came as a human being because we didn’t just need missing information; we had a debt to pay. The choice to put the self at the center is a transaction in hope. To place the self at the center, to sit down on the throne of your own life, is creation saying to Creator, “Thanks for the boost. I’ll take it from here.” I’ll find my own fulfillment. I’ll construct my own identity. I’ll write a story big enough to satisfy my own soul.
