I would say that being human in scale references our limits and liabilities as humans to accomplish our objectives, to establish our beliefs, and to live our lives that suits us.
Such explanation further elaborates that human in scale parameters are nothing more than what is humanly sought and achieved--with little angelic assistance or supernal influence. Larger than life refers to such contributions made by Jesus Christ and His prophets and apostles that went beyond the norm of life's reach to achieve grander objectives.
