Title: Human existence
Contents
deep! Riches of God's wisdom and knowledge, his judgments are beyond measure, and his ways are beyond finding. Who has known your heart? Who has been his counselor? Who will give first to the Lord and be repaid? For all things come from the Lord, and through the Lord and to the Lord, to him the glory is forever. Amen. (Romans 11:33-36)
Modern civilization has been a civilization of expanding human skills and capabilities. Humans, who felt like grains of sand in the vast universe, began to enlarge themselves like a picture in a cartoon after the Renaissance, and in the end, it expanded to more than fill the entire universe. How enlarged this android was, and now, under its shadow, no mountains could be seen, no seas could be seen, not only the universe itself, but also the creator of the universe.
The assertion of Marshall McLuhan's <Understanding Media - Subtitle, Human Expansion> speaks to the modern human image. Are human beings really that big and have the power of negativity? Is it true that humans have expanded to control the universe at will and transcend the Creator? Are human beings so omnipotent? I was looking at the flowing stream for a thousand eons in the past, and suddenly my life was not living for even a single drop of water. Will I be able to live up to my age? If you put me at the bottom of that mountain where I stand for a long time, how small is a human being?
In the book of Isaiah, there is a saying, "You worm!" Aren't human beings really like earthworms, procrastinating like maggots, dying out, useless beings? How often do people plan and put all their efforts, but that's okay? Isn't it true that life eventually returns to zero?
The apostle Paul said, "Oh! The riches of the wisdom and knowledge of God, His judgments are unsearchable, His ways are unsearchable. Who would have known the thoughts of the Lord? Who has become the counselor of the Lord? All things come from God, and are done through him and go to him. To him be the glory forever. Amen."
It is only when we come to realizing this realization that we are human, we are aware that we are such small and small grains of sand, and then we can admire the glory, dignity, and authority of the Creator with emotion and admiration. . Without real human knowledge, it is impossible to have real God knowledge. The belief that God is the Creator is not professed until human beings have realized that they are not God. Worship and praise are the natural expressions of this human and God awareness. We will be able to stand in the right position of human beings only when we come to this very position where we have no choice but to bow down and look at God and struggle before His glory, infinite authority, dignity, power, and wisdom. Therefore, the Bible attacked the image of man who rebelled against God step by step, saying that rebellion against God is the greatest sin and causes human misery. If man's existence is really great and high, it is not because of man himself, but because of the Spirit of God, whom he has received by grace, because of the privilege of being recognized as a child of God, not because of man himself.
If human life is infinite, it is because God has bestowed eternal life and eternal blessings on him. Otherwise, it is really only a ephemera. If a person has a spirit that can wrinkle Mount Tai and swallow up even the universe, it is because God has given him the authority to manage all things. If we really exclude God from human beings, all existence will come to an end. A human being who has this awareness cannot help but praise, fear, and worship God, and he cannot help but completely entrust his entire existence to God. When we are aware of this, human beings have no choice but to live according to God's great will and providence. Truly, all things come from and return to God, and we cannot help but admire that the depth of his wisdom and power cannot be measured.
Once again, let's think about today's society and the recognition process of history. People have all built castles, built houses, created works of art, and created so-called cultural inheritances from time to time. And each time it was guaranteed that it would be passed down through generations, and expressed with words such as the miracle of the Han River or the miracle of the Rhine. And after time passed and the humans who made them passed away, at some point they disappeared without a trace. It is a fortress national restoration, and it creates a new history and scolds it, but it is the old Lee Taejo Joseon, Goryeo Dynasty, Silla, Baekje, and on them, in the distant past, those people and politicians at that time said that this is national restoration, a new history, and the creation of a new culture. and that's what I was thinking. But even that of Baekje remains as a legend in the white sand at the banks of the Baekma River, sleeping in the mud at the bottom of Cheonho-dong, Songpa, across the Han River. The Goryeo Dynasty's dream is Songdo, Silla's modernization and unification is only the smell of Gyeongju. Today, who is walking through Gwanghwamuntong in Seoul, conscious of this Taejo's blue line?
Therefore, strictly speaking, except for God in human history, no matter how loudly they shout, they are antiques at best, but over time, their traces and names disappear. Those who are so proud of themselves that they don't know how to do it, go crazy because they are out of their mind, and still have childishness who think that cartoons are true. They make up and talk about it, but if you really know the reality of a human being, if you know your situation, existence, power, and wisdom right away, there is nothing wrong with humans. The only thing to do is to send it.
For all things come to Him and return to Him. There is only one God who is truly worthy to receive glory and honor for ever and ever. Humans have to come back to where they were and start over.
