To accept this message also means rejecting a deeply rooted illusion: the idea that life is entirely self-owned and self-directed. The Christian vision insists that life is received, not manufactured. It is born from love, sustained by grace, and oriented toward fullness. When individuals forget this truth and treat life as a possession to be used or discarded at will, the result is often confusion, emptiness, and despair. History and daily experience provide countless examples of how such thinking leads not to freedom, but to isolation and suffering.
Scripture warns of the seductive voice that distorts truth and diminishes the value of life. When people listen to that voice, they risk falling into a kind of inner void, where meaning collapses and hope disappears. This is not a distant theological concept. It is visible in personal tragedies, broken families, and collective wounds that scar societies. Faith does not ignore these realities; it confronts them with honesty and compassion.
