6. Since there is nothing greater than God, he is the greatest being.
7. The greatest being is worthy of attention, devotion, and worship (as a start) from all lesser beings.
8. Therefore, God is worthy of attention, devotion, and worship from all lesser beings.
9. If God is the maximal good, then it follows that he is our maximal good. (See 6.)
10. We must worship God if we are to experience maximal goodness. (See 8.)
11. We do not give God the worship which he deserves.
12. Therefore, we cannot experience the maximal goodness that is God (and since anything less than God is hell, we can only experience hell).

14. Therefore, God, as a perfect being (see 6), must demonstrate grace to fallen creatures.
