Life in the Universe: Love of God Embodied
According to the Bible, everything passes but the word of God never changes.
In the human world, everything that is started will surely end eventually. However, underlying principles never change.
God is said to exist forever from infinite past to infinite future. God was never created by anybody and God never dies or disappears.
Surely the concept of time is different in the world of God and in the world of this material universe and the human world. But, as God is almighty, He can start something and put an end to it.
Apart from the physical aspects of this universe and the human world, life is possible only with love. Without love but only evil and hatred, every living thing in this world will die down. And we can sometimes feel great love in the world or a great scale of love. And such great love sometimes looks transcending various restrictions as if it had infinite power.
For example, according to the Bible, God loved men so much that he sent His Son to the human world.
Maybe the love Christ Jesus has to us helps us transcend the restrictions imposed on human beings, which means that everything passes. In the human world, everything that is started will surely end eventually, which is so cruel, since nothing is left after our death. But love of Christ Jesus must allow us to come close to the world of God where there is no death.
On the surface of the moon, its temperature gets 100 degrees Celsius in the daytime but minus 150 degrees C at night. It is the world without love. But on the earth, physical conditions allow development of love needed for emergence and development of life. And these physical conditions must be love of God embodied. And, it must have been promised from the beginning of the universe. So, the universe started to emerge from the beginning with love of God to life and human beings.
Anyway, on the surface of the moon, its temperature gets 100 degrees Celsius in the daytime but minus 150 degrees C at night. It is the world without love. However, without love in the human world, it must be tantamount to the surface of the moon. To get higher life, we need love of God.
