The secular conceptions of well-being and the common good are noticeably different from the traditional view of human flourishing in history, throughout the scriptures, and in the literature and practices of the Christian church through the ages. The Christian view of human well-being and flourishing necessitates the action of two nonhuman elements. The first requirement is the actual presence of a living, acting God in human life, both corporate and individual. The second is awareness of and dependence on the provisions (including material provisions) that come from God, that originate outside of the limits of normal human efforts and/or natural events (Phil. 4:19).
