We are the beings who have to rely solely on God who has eyes like a flame of fire and tests our hearts. It is difficult for people to deceive others, but there is no way for people to hide their inappropriate behaviors and thoughts from God. Therefore, people always humbly seek the grace of God, remain in a position of absolute dependence on God, and have no choice but to believe only in Jesus Christ.
When people start thinking about God, they emerge from the darkness by discovering the true meaning of life. For humans, belief in Jesus means being born again. When Jesus, who is the light, comes among the people of darkness, the old self (παλαιὸν ἄνθρωπον) disappears through the holy power of the Holy Spirit and lives as the new self (καινὸν ἄνθρωπον) born again as a new creature in Christ.
At the same time, as the people of God find that they are nothing without God, they rejoice in the unconditional love and grace that God grants them. When they are led by the Holy Spirit and deny themselves in Christ, they witness the Lord Jesus who fed over 5,000 people and had his disciples gather up the leftover fragments. Just as a child who gave five barley loaves and two fish cannot say, "I have fed over 5,000 people!” we also wrap up the day with gratitude and deep emotion, glorifying God in silence.
