He does not see God, he does not recognize the fundamental truth of the existence of God, the Creator of the universe, he does not recognize the own human structure and because he does not recognize the Spirit, he puts himself and others on the level of animals and matter. So, an unbeliever sets wrong objectives for himself in life, most of which are humanly degrading, and chooses wrong means with which he endangers himself and others. An unbeliever takes roads which do not lead to the fulfillment of the human longing that God has sown in his heart, so he ends up disappointed in a blind alley. Sin in itself makes a person blind for the values of life and separates man from himself, from others and from God. In this separation which comes from sin, man remains alone and does not feel well.
Sin wounds the human heart and, in a wounded heart, negative and desctructive behavior is born.
It must be clear to us that not only people who do not know God, but also those who say they know God, yet, do not live according to His word, are in a spiritual sleep. So we can say that many who are in theory, 'faithful people', the Christians, go on the same wrong paths as the unbelievers and end up in the blind alleys of desctruction. Although we all and the entire world suffer from the consequences of unbelief and sin, God does not want the death of the sinner, but He wants him to convert and to live. We can say that God has not turned His face away from us. He loves us as a good Father and, as the God of Life, He does not want us to remain in deadly sleep.
