| Summary: | There is an 'inextinguishable yearning' in every human being to unite with that which is infinite, eternal, absolute, permanent, even a loving Father, that is to say, God in order to defeat death in all its forms including despair, meaninglessness, and abandonment. Only God can and does offer human persons salvation which enables them to surmount death. God came to earth a wholly finite, temporal, impermanent, transitory human person in order to open up humanity's finiteness, to draw human persons out of the futility of temporal, human existence, in order to lead them to the breadth and depth of His infiniteness, His absoluteness, I His love if a person does not choose to accept the response of theone who transcends human life, then he can only seek a response within the parameters of human life. Whatever the choice, whether it be God's redemption, his own response, or that of another, he can only choose during his lifetime. |
