Ouch.

We Christians often like to boast the God doesn't need anything. We are the only ones in need. But He does need obtain man as His inheritance:

[i]"In whom also were were designated as an inheritacnce, having been predeistinated acco other judgment for sin from that point forward. Now only remains a judgment for unbelief.

====================================
Actually, we are not sinners in the hands of an angry God. None of us, believers or non- fit this category any more, since about 2,000 years ago. That is not to say that God was angry before that, but, allowing for poetic license, substituting anger for judgment, God poured out His anger on the Lord Jesus Christ. There is no other judgment for sin from that point forward. Now only remains a judgment for unbelief.
