I do, however, wish to know about the inherent need for all man to follow a higher calling/being. To this day, I feel that pull and must refer to it as a yearning. Does the Bible teach us that although we are born in sin and, as stated above, have "a nature to put self first and driven by the need for love, approval, acceptance and inclusion with others", that we are also programed to look for and/or seek out God? I have heard several sermons dealing with this thought but as yet have had a full Scriptural understanding of this inherent yearning. Also, using this yearning as a point of reference, is this the basis for man's necessity to worship a higher being or deity and the plethora of religions that inhabit the earth?
