Odwieczne Słowo Boga i czas w myśli teologicznej Jana Pawła II
The eternal Divine Word and time in the theolgical idea of John Paul II

Summary/Abstract: „In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God, and (…) the Word became flesh and dwelt among us” (Joh 1,1 – 14). Jesus as the eternal divine Word comes from God and is really God. Jesus` origin, His provenance, is the true „beginning” – the primordial source from which all things come, the „light” and the „time” that makes the world into the cosmos. Consequently, He is making known the terms and the demands, which are necessary to perform in order to receive the „new life” of God and the participation in His heavenly kingdom. Certainly the proclamation of Jesus as the eternal Word of God had in itself the announcement of truth and the understanding of the plan divine with regard to mankind, which had the character of salvation on the aspect of eschatology. In the theological idea of saint John Paul II, what is distinctive in Jezus proclamation about your Father-God, is the „signs of time”, which gave people the possibility to see and understand the situation of daily life in the reality of salvation. If the announcement of Jesus is true, it has to grant for historical reconstruction and has to express his truth on the new dimension of existential. In this situation, the answer of the man of faith has to be the motivation to take up the „deed” of the renovation of self-life and the imitation of God. This constitutes as the Christian thought that the central point of the theological interpretation of the value of salvation is realized – hic et nun – as the historical and existential value of the human life in the right of the kingdom divine. The proclamation of Jesus as the Word of God about the „new life”, presents to man the values of the divine existence. On one hand, it is the gift of freedom and the liberation from sin, where the love of God is absolutely necessary. On the other hand, the „new life” opens for man the space of liberty of life, where God forgives the human offences and the sins, both past and present. Well now the resume of the call to imitate God is the acceptance of the divine gift, which changes the man himself, and all the people, who seek the help and good councils to live the norm divine. These witnesses in the human mentality the consciousness of the existence based on the divine laws, which have in themselves the dimension eschatological.
