God seeks to live through us - to express Himself, to teach us to love & understand each other. Too bad so many people won't let that happen...

It is not uncommon for people, or those who lack true spirituality, to complain about their lot in life. (Jude 16.) If they are sickly, they may always be complaining about not being well. Similarly, the poor may complain because they are not rich. Why, such things as good health and great wealth may become consuming goals in their life! They struggle to achieve them, and failure may sink them into deep depression.
Rather, let us bear in mind that “the world is passing away and so is its desire, but he that does the will of God remains forever.” What a grand promise that is! Do we show that we really believe it by fully acting on it, centering our whole life around our relationship to God and letting no other relationship or pleasure take on undue importance?—1 John 2:17. Then that is how spirituality is defined, " the love you have for God".
You cannot have the true love for anyone whom you does not know or whom you cannot understand. Hence understanding God becomes a key important factor in ones life. Why love God?
As the world sinks deeper toward disaster, what is needed is a sure hand to pull honest-hearted people to safety. Where can such a hand be found? Certainly not among human institutions! The psalmist David trusted God and said: “Your right hand will save me,” and the prophet Isaiah wrote: “Look! The hand of Jehovah has not become too short that it cannot save.”—Psalm 138:7; Isaiah 59:1.
Hence in short the role of human being in understanding God becomes vital, in that he is able to save himself from the troubled system of things, and also develop the divine love towards our Grand Creator. This love is developed only when you approach with a spiritual mind and heart, away from the worldly environment.

The role of every human being in understanding God Almighty is to study His word. He gave us the Holy Bible and it is ours to study and learn from it. No matter how hard you study it, you can find no absolute faults in it. You can take things out of text all day long and tell others this or that isn't true but you can't truly dispute any of it. As old as it is, you can't find fault in it. What held true 4000 years ago is still true today. God doesn't change. His inspired word doesn't change. People say this wasn't written by God and that's true. It was written by those He inspired to write it. They try and place our limitations on God and that doesn't work either. God is God and He doesn't live under our limits here on this earth. He lives in eternity and the rules He created there are different than here. Everything we know here on earth has a beginning and an end. How long is a day in eternity? God created the universe in 6 days. How long is 6 days in eternity? A hundred million years? We don't know and we don't need to know or He would have told us.

We can apply today's science to understand God. "Faith in Unseen" things This is perfectly in line with today's science also.Example, in Maths we assume "Limit tends to infinity" and solve many complex problems. What is this Infinity? No man knows it. SImilarly in Physics we assume a smallest wave particle called "Photon" which dont have any proof for existence physically, then proceed with atomic physics. Without such assumption & faith, physics is meaningless. So faith is not against science, it is a part & basis of science. We know that the edge of our Universe is 4 Billion Light years from us. We cant even imagine one light year. SUn takes 8 minutes to reach earth.
On the other hand the smallest thing which we know is in the order of 10 power minus 30 meters. So how can we define the Almighty God who has created such things and who is above such things. It is only the faith that matters. Another aspect of this phenomena is that we should understand clearly that God dont need our prayers or our offerings. It is for our own good we should understand God and live in a Straight Path. That kind of thinking only will solve all the problems. We need only peace nothing else. We need peace of mind even when the worst tragedy occurs in our life.

The role of a human being in understanding GOD is a seeker (student,devotee). Spirituality is helpful in achieving the best of the life.

Firstly I would like to clear that GOD is a messenger of DIVINE. DIVINE is one ,but GODS are so many. These Earthly born Gods spread the message of the Divine in a certain area and motivate the people towards spirituality and Truth.

There's no role. We just have to be opened to receive and to know the new experiences of the life and so that understand GOD.

Knowing our own Creator must be the most fruitful work a creation like us can do in our life. But to do that work we have to live in this world. So while living in the world continue your search for the origin and that is the spirituality.
