In essence, grace encompasses more than mere hope; it embodies the divine authority that dictates the outcome for humanity. The destinies of those who accept divine guidance and those who reject it are sealed in accordance with God's eternal plan. The divine assurance is that, regardless of human shortcomings, the ultimate end will be achieved according to God's perfect justice and mercy. Thus, we can affirm confidently that we cannot ultimately fail because divine grace ensures the fulfillment of God's righteous purposes in the end. Furthermore, every person is ultimately bound by their own choices and commitments—their own "way"—which often becomes a form of self-imposed curse, much like a vow or oath they swear. Few individuals defend their beliefs out of genuine conviction; instead, many act under a superficial sense of equality, enjoying what they do without deep understanding or true purpose. Because of this, I believe that humanity is not only capable of following the correct path but also possesses the power to succeed in it. We have the capacity to construct a world even for the blind and the morally lost—those who are spiritually blind or morally reprobate—without them necessarily perceiving or understanding what is truly happening around them or within themselves. This echoes the truth in Psalm 139, which reminds us that God knows our thoughts before we even think them. No human can fully grasp God's understanding in a balanced or complete sense. Grace is a fundamental reality that compels the world to exist within its natural boundaries. It allows men to find pleasure without necessarily understanding their destination. As a consequence, grace not only encourages the pursuit of potential within the goals and pursuits of this world but also manifests as a force wielded by individuals, often to the detriment of others. This dual aspect of grace highlights why the realm of action is driven by divine commands and divine guidance. However, the righteous desires within us will ultimately come to pass, while the wicked desires—those rooted in selfishness and rebellion—will be scattered like chaff before the wind. Each person hopes to attain a form of power or control that is separate from God's eternal purposes. Yet, such attempts to oppose divine sovereignty only serve to bring about their own destruction in the end. Ultimately, the concept of grace is not merely a hope that God is merciful and loving, but it is the righteous standard that determines human destiny. It defines the ultimate fate of the two groups—the redeemed and the unrighteous—affirming that failure is not an option for those aligned with divine grace. Within humanity, there is a division: one group of people dwells in the realm of reality, grounded in truth and divine order, while another exists within a world of fantasy and illusion. Each group's chosen path aligns with their fundamental inner experiences and perceptions. Every individual is endowed with a sense of self-worth, a recognition of their inherent value, despite the fact that natural tendencies may lead one group toward eternal separation from God—damnation—while another is destined for eternal bliss and communion with the Divine. This eternal bliss is envisioned as the divine promise that God will ultimately wipe away all tears from their eyes, bringing everlasting comfort and joy.
