I believe that the interplay between active and passive elements is both essential and deeply satisfying. It is inadequate to conceive of God as disinterested or detached from reality, for this would diminish His divine nature. When we attribute human characteristics to God, we are simplifying His complex communication and actions. As the ultimate source of existence, God animates all things and imbues them with movement. This encompasses not only the physical universe, but also the ideas and actions that occur by His will or in response to the consequences of the fall. Therefore, our experience of the passage of time is in a constant state of flux, as we simultaneously embody both passivity and activity. This arrangement ensures that God maintains sovereignty over this realm of reality. We are passive in our role as dependent creatures, while God remains independent and free from any need for the creature. Our limited understanding of reality stems from our inability to comprehend the mind of God and truly reflect upon our own experiences. Thus, when we fully rely on God, we become more attuned to our own unfolding circumstances and gain a deeper understanding of ourselves.God has the ability to elevate us beyond our current state because we are engaging with the realm of the supernatural. By adopting a mindset that encompasses both complete passivity and complete activity, we can gain a genuine understanding of a universe centered around Christ's actions. Our lack of appreciation for the significance of various challenges and even the smallest aspects of our lives hinders our ability to live in alignment with God's active nature as He directs our will and actions within the order of all things.
