Man is made for God.
The West begins not with technique, appetite, or power, but with worship. Faith teaches that the human person is not merely a consumer, voter, worker, or animal, but a creature made in the image of God and ordered toward communion with Him.
Why it matters
Faith gives the West its deepest account of dignity, conscience, sin, mercy, sacrifice, and hope. It insists that law is not merely the will of the strong, that the poor are not disposable, that history has meaning, and that civilization must answer to God.
Faith
Without revelation, the West loses the grammar of gift, judgment, mercy, and covenant.
Faith
The source of dignity is not usefulness, intelligence, or social approval.
Faith
The West learned to pray before it learned to theorize itself.
