If God existed, do our efforts to know God matter?

[DiamondHearts]

Your question supposes if God exists, whether searching for Him is of any consequences.

If He is Just and Merciful, which all monotheistic faiths state, then God would welcome the search for Him. God shall judge man based on what he gained from his search for God and how this knowledge was utilized.

According to the Abrahamic religion, God created mankind that they may worship Him and recognize His authority of them in a manner which fits His Greatness. God does not have need of us, but it is we who are in need of God. Therefore seeking God is not only necessary, it is the very reason for our existence. Man's existence is tied to the awareness of God. That one who does not recognize God, he is not truly alive.

Why do we need god?

Man's existence is tied to the awareness of God. That one who does not recognize God, he is not truly alive.

Yet, we all exist and we're all alive, completely unaware of gods.

How do you define "truly alive"?

Do you think it should be enough for others as well?
