How can something so lethal to our existence also be so necessary for our existence? </p> <p style="margin:10px 0px;font-size:16px;line-height:1.5;color:#241e12;font-family:'aktiv-grotesk', sans-serif;font-style:normal;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:normal;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;white-space:pre-line;word-spacing:0px;background-color:#ffffff;">The sun reminds us of God's attributes in this regard.
