Everyday a man is becoming less(1) a Man created in the image of God— as he is growing less in God and more in sin.
We are called to be witnesses of God's Love(2) and mercy, in the world— not to get inebriated and drowned(3) in the vanity of the world.
1] The more we become 'of the world' — we'll become less familiar with God and more alienated in our relationship with God and people— and more vulnerable to sin.
2] To love, as Jesus Christ has loved us, and to forgive, as Jesus Christ has forgiven us.
3] Vain satisfactions and pleasures of the world seduces our heart to move away from God. It gradually depletes our spiritual strengths— our love for God; mutual understanding; patience; forgiveness; mercy.
