Could you point out where in the bible it says that normally, self-satisfied people feel no need of a relationship with God. Thanks

Certainly. People who are self-satisfied are normally healthy, as sickness tends to make people unhappy and dissatisfied with their current condition.
Read Mark 2:11-17
Once Jesus chose to eat with tax collectors and sinners.
When Jesus was rebuked by the Pharisees for this, He answered, “Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick. I did not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.”
One of the great truths of Christianity is the gift that God gives to people to understand that they are sinners in need of the healing forgiveness that is available only through the atoning death and resurrection of Jesus. People who are self-satisfied rarely, if ever, fell the need for this forgiveness.
