The Deeper Question Of Man. by philoedu(m): 1:25pm On Dec 18, 2022
Human condition, demand that, it is high time, we seriously have to ask the deeper question of man, as an image of God. Today the strains under which the world labours are, no doubt, connected with this fondamental question with the result of tensions.

There are in everyone this tension of several element which are in opposition. This is because, we feels ourselves limited in several ways, but at the same time, is this awareness of our unlimited aspirations of the call to a higher life.

The fact remains that when we are attracted to so many things, we bound to make choice to reject some and accept others, and this is bone out of human nature.

Although, we are sinful and weak, yet we are saddle with the responsibility to do what we would prefer not to do and fail to do what we would like to do, that seems beneficial to our wellbeing.
The consequences of this is that we divided against ourselves and others around us, as a result of which we lay the very foundation of discords that eventually, as a process, build up a society, full of contradictions.

It seems obvious, that many of us today, who in practice, are so absolved into what one may called materialistic bedrock, becomes so distracted from this internal drama or contradiction of man, at least, for any extreme want, of which often, we have no time to think about it.

The truth is that, due to this contradiction of man as the image of God, through which emanate the conflictuality, we are often forced to find refuge in various general theories and principles as we tends to move on with life.

Inspite, of this shortcoming, there are still those of us who are hopefully optimistic, about the Future of man as the true image of God, such that, with human effort, and taken responsibilities, all what God required of man will come to be melt.
Needless, to add that in the face of the various present day events, more people still feel deeply the very need to ask the fondamental questions of what is man and the meaning of pains and death, inspite of our material progress.

It must be bone in mind, however, that as human with the image of God of which man is privilege to be honoured, so long as equal attention is not paid authentically to the spiritual aspect, thus, the material aspect will only continual to strive in vain, and in particular, when we refuse to pay the need attention to (Isaiah 55, verse 8-11).
l think, it is so emblematic to note ! my word will not return to me idle, it will accomplish my will, the purpose for which it has been sent.

Therefore, whether we like it or not, we must acknowledged that Christ Jesus has come to live an exemplary life for us to imitate and eventually dead and rose again just for our sake, and we are not told another will be coming to dei again, and he left with us His spirit to strengthen our effort which is enough to live up to our responsibilities.
