🍁 Autumn Journey #23 β€” Being vs. Doing

In our life of faith, we often find ourselves repeating two questions: β€œWhat have I done?” and β€œWho am I?” When trying to prove who we are, we tend to point to what we have done in the past, what we are doing now, or what we are capable of doing in the future. In other words, we often explain who we are through our Doingβ€”through our actions, achievements, or capabilities.

However, when it comes to truly explaining who we are, it is not about our Doing but our Being. It is about our thoughts, our character, and our inner nature. Our Being is revealed through the values we cherish, the meanings we hold dear, and the principles that shape our lives. In truth, even without words, others can discern who we are simply by observing what we consider most precious and meaningful in life.

β€œIn the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.” β€” Genesis 1:1

β€œIn the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.” β€” John 1:1

The Bible speaks of β€œthe beginning” in two placesβ€”Genesis 1:1 and John 1:1. Both start with the same phrase, β€œIn the beginning.” Genesis 1:1 tells us about what God did, while John 1:1 reveals who God is. Every time I reflect on these two verses, I sense that, in the order of understanding, John 1:1 comes before Genesis 1:1β€”because only when we know who we are can we know what we are to do. God was the Word; and because He was the Word, He could do the work of creation.

It is the same for us. We must first know who we are (Being) before we can truly know what we are to do (Doing). The Word of God reveals to us who we are. As one popular song says, β€œThere are too many versions of me inside me.” But through the eternal and unchanging Word of God, may we rediscover the divine intention and meaning behind our creationβ€”so that we may live out God’s purpose and fulfill the highest value of the life He designed for us.

Walking together through the autumn of 2025, Rev. Gil Lee
