- Briefly summarize the advantages for humanity in this relationship. Restrict your answer to a one-sentence summary.
One sentence is obviously not enough space to adequately frame these advantages. We could spend volumes answering this question and still have more to say. As clients of God, we receive salvation, life and forgiveness, among countless other things. A better question might consider what we don’t get out of this. Through our patron-client relationship with God, we’re given everything God wanted for us from the moment of creation. We might also ask, what does God get out of this arrangement?
