The divine Word represents the very essence of God's own thought, which underpins and shapes the entire fabric of reality itself. When God proclaims, “I am,” it is a profound affirmation of His eternal existence—an acknowledgment that He has always been, is present everywhere in the universe, and will continue to be through all of time. With His divine power, God holds the limitless ability to bring about whatever He desires, executing His will with sovereign authority. Importantly, God exists completely independent of any external force or influence that might pressure or compel Him to act against His divine purpose or thought. In stark contrast, humanity’s existence is entirely dependent upon God; we rely on Him for every breath we take, for each moment of life, and for the very sustenance that maintains our being. It is through His divine thought that life is sustained—over and over, again and again—without fail. A single divine thought could, if He chose, undo the entire course of human history and rewrite everything in an instant. Yet, human thoughts tend to oppose and stand at odds with God’s eternal plan and purpose. From the very moment of birth, mankind begins to seek independence from the Creator, attempting to craft their own designs and destinies. These efforts, however, are ultimately futile because they are disconnected from the divine purpose. Earthly institutions, no matter how grand or enduring they seem, tend to fall apart and vanish within a single generation. Only what God has decreed—His eternal plan to bring glory to Himself—remains unshaken and unchangeable through the ages. The perpetual, unchanging nature of God is a foundational truth; He has always existed and will continue to endure through all eternity, unaltered by time or circumstances.
