This paper studies on the way of the existence of the lyrical self in the christian lyric poetry from the understanding of the way of human existence in the central truth of Christianity. It is very important to understand the way of existence of the poetic self in lyric poetry for understanding the features of christian lyrical poetry. This paper, in the first, surveys the ACTS theological movement in order to recognize the central truth of christianity. The ACTS Theological Movement is based on the central truth of christianity. It has inherited the apostolic tradition of the right faith and the Calvin and Wesley's theological traditions and prac-tices in the Christian life. In the central truth of christianity, human beings are totally corrupted and can never saved by his own ability. In the modern humanism, the rational man was centered in the world and all things even God became a objects of the Self. But in the central truth of christianity, human beings can not be saved himself because of their sin and the only way of salvation is the grace of God the cross of Jesus Christ. In this understanding of human beings is the way of man's existence completely determined by the relationship with God. There are two aspects on human condition. One is the man exists as a sinner whose relationship with God has been cut off, and the other is the man existed as a righteous man forgiven by faith in Jesus Christ and restored the relationship with God. At the former, the world is deficient and injustice one that was de-stroyed by sin. But at the latter, the world is full of vitality from the creator God the source of life. These two ways of existence of human beings are similar to the way of lyric self in the christian lyric poetry. In the lyric poetry, the lyrical self is the self that expresses the poet's emotion as a speaker in the poems. And it is an important device for achieving the identity between the self and the world that is the poet's inner emotion and the objects’ emotion in the poem. Thus the self's point of view to the world reveals the way of expression of the images in the poem and the relationship between the self and the world. Therefore, it is very important that to understand the way of existence of the lyrical self in the poem. In Christian lyrical poetry, when the self maintains the right relationship with God, the images in the poem become a positive images full of vitality. On the contrary, the poems in which the relationship between the self and God are cut off is full of negative and deficient images. This feature in christian lyrical poems shows that the relationship between the self and God determines the aspects of the natural images in that poems. This features is well known in the poems of Kim Hyunseung. It reveals us that there is a similarity between the way of the existence of human beings in the central truth of christianity and the way of the existence of the lyrical self in the christian lyrical poetry. Through this we understand one of the features of the christian lyrical poetry.
