신학적 관점에서 본 생명

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Christianity is a religion for Life. Because Jesus Christ, who is always heart of christianity, says "I came that they may have life, and have it abundantly"(Jn 10,10). In truth, the Gospel of life is at the heart of Jesus' Message.
According to the Old & New Testament, the catholic Church knows the value of life, first of all, the sacred value of human life which belongs only to God. She teaches human being has a dignity, because every person is created as the image of God by the Creator. Furthermore, incarnation of the Son of God, in Jesus Christ, reveals to humanity the incomparable value of every human person, child of God, loved by God. It reveals that human life will be share the eternal life with God.
For this reason, the Church teaches the Commandment "You shall not kill". It means to show reverence and love for every person and the life of every person. Following this same logic, the Church prohibits abortion, euthanasia and rejects the death penalty. The Church sternly condemned abortion. Because human life is sacred from its very beginning it directly involves God's creative activity. The Second Vatican Council says "From the moment of its conception life must be guarded with the greatest care, while abortion and infanticide are unspeakable crimes"(Gaudium et Spes, 51). To euthanasia, must be distinguished from the decision to forego so-called "aggressive medical treatment", is to take control of death and bring it about before its time, "gently" ending one's own life or the life of others. The Church condemned too it as to be senseless and inhumane(cf. Evangelium Vitae, 64). The Church's tradition has always rejected suicide as a gravely evil choice. Furthermore she teaches God, who preferred the correction rather than the death of a sinner, did not desire that a homicide be punished by the exaction of another act of homicide(cf. Evangelium Vitae, 9).
Now-days we are confronted by a larger reality, which can be described as a veritable "culture of death". We need to recognize the value of life.
All christian believe that every life belongs to only God. And they believe the sacred value of human life, the human dignity for the eternal life. Christianity shows clearly his thought about the creation in "anthropocentrism". It is right for the human life and for the others' life. Il means that human being has responsibility to all creation of the world for life.
