Governed by God's Grace

Those whose life is not governed by the Commandments of God, feel easily lured by vanity¹ and they easily commit everything that is shameful, unlawful and evil.

1. Things that go against the Reverence of God; things that are not beneficial for our soul etc.

Believing in Jesus Christ means...

Just believing in Christ's Passion and Resurrection is not going to save us from damnation-  and lead us to Eternal life.

Believing in Jesus Christ means-  acknowledging with all our heart that HE alone is our True salvation.
Believing means, to trust God with all our heart and to submit our lives into HIS hands, to live according to HIS Most Holy will.
Believing means, to acknowledge Jesus Christ as the Beloved Son of the living God, one with the Father and the Holy Spirit.

Believing means, to listen to Jesus's life giving words.
Believing means, to live with the Hope of receiving God's gift of Eternal life.
Believing means, to live as God's witness at all times.
Believing means, to live our life conscientiously in the honour of God.
Believing means, to believe in the Resurrection and the life everlasting.
Believing means, to live our life as one Brotherhood in the love of God.

Believing means, to Humbly wait upon God.
Believing means, to persevere in the Grace of God, till the end of our life.
Believing means, to acknowledge our sins before God.
Believing means, to give up our sinful ways.
Believing means, to live a new life of conversion according to Jesus's words.
Believing means, to produce fruits of Love, in keeping with repentance.
Believing means, to persevere henceforth in Jesus's way of life.

The path of Believing in Jesus Christ; repenting to new life in Christ and persevering till the end of life, is the narrow path which most will find it difficult- we must pray for the Grace of God and strive hard on this path.

Daily Reverence

Each day of our life is an opportunity to thank God; to praise God; to believe in God; to repent; to do good deeds in Love and  to come closer to God.

We must live each  day in a way that the virtues¹ are praised² through our work and our daily life, thereby respecting God's presence in our life.

Christian living is conscientious³ living.

1. Simplicity; Sincerity; Diligence; Faithfulness; Obedience; Kindness; Understanding; Forgiveness etc.

2. Each aspect of our character should be used to  give reverence to God, as moment calls for/ as an opportunity comes our way.

Each day is filled with variety of moments and opportunities, to practice God's kingdom values.

When an opportunity comes our way to practice Diligence, we must do our best to praise the virtue of diligence through our work- thereby giving reverence to God.

When a moment needs us to be Humble, we must practice humility, thus giving reverence to God.

When a moment demands Obedience to our Superiors, we must be obedient- thus honoring God through the virtue of obedience.

When a moment requires our generous help to those in need, we must practice the virtue of Charity- thus praising God.

3. Strive to do everything perfectly to the best of one's ability- in the honour of God- no mediocre work.

God's saving help

When burdens of life  weigh heavily on our shoulders, we must cling to God with all our Faith and all our Hope-  HE surely comes to our rescue, to help¹ in our distress.

HIS saving help comes to our rescue, the more we trust in HIM and make HIM our refuge and seek HIM daily.

The more we stay close to God, the more we feel HIS  saving help near.

HIS saving help speedily comes to the rescue of all those who live according to HIS commandments.

1. Those who maintain faithful relationship with God, their cry for help is always heard.

HIS saving help is close at hand to poor and needy, with no one to help.

God will not listen to the cry of  all those who bring dishonour to HIS name, by their deeds of unfaithfulness; those who maintain outward appearance of religion. Their plea for help and their distress will not be considered since they do not follow the way of God.

God always listens to the cry (for help ) of a repentant sinner who humbly acknowledges his sins and turns away from his sinful ways.

Those who humbly seek God's help must also be willing to accept God's will.

Righteous heart

A heart that is filled with God's Most Holy presence; a heart that is filled with Faith and Hope in God, guides us on the right path in life.

A heart that is filled with vanity and stubborn unbelief in God, leads us more into  errors and confusion¹ in life.

1. Every kind of disorder in life.

God's Most Holy will

In Heaven and on earth, God's 'Most Holy will' holds priority¹.

God is the Creator of life and universe. HE is the potter. He knows the weaknesses and vulnerabilities of our heart.
The weakness of our flesh causes us to fall into sin; into errors and into difficult circumstances.
Sometimes, God allows these things to happen to us, for our own good-  to Humble² us; to strengthen us; to prepare³ us for HIS great work of salvation; to test the sincerity⁴ of our Faith; to test our Humble⁵ dependence on HIM.
Most of the times we may not understand HIS ways, and even find it difficult at times to accept HIS 'Most Holy will' in our life.

We are imperfect creatures of flesh.
It is God's  will that we live in HIS presence, and grow perfect.

God's 'Most Holy will' always seeks the greater good of our soul.
From time to time, God presents us with opportunities⁶, to come  back to HIM-  but we fail to recognize HIM and acknowledge HIS will.

With all those who love God, God's 'Most Holy will' brings them on the path of Truth-  however much their errors and their sins⁷.

God's 'Most Holy will' is a rampart⁸ for all those who acknowledge HIM and Humbly live according to HIS Commandments.

All those who Honour HIM, God's 'Most Holy will' assists them in all their endeavours⁹.

With all those whom God has Called for great work of salvation¹⁰, HIS  'Most Holy will' powerfully assists them and leads them to fulfillment.

1. Angels in Heaven obey it Faithfully; Jesus Christ obeyed Heavenly Father's will Faithfully, throughout HIS life- likewise, we too, are expected to obey it Faithfully.

Everything that happens in Heaven and on earth, happens according to the will of God. HE is the potter. To build up or to break down, is entirely in HIS hands. It is for HIM to judge what is right- to allow something unpleasant to happen or to prevent it. Even if HE allows unpleasant circumstances, nevertheless HE does it for our own good.

2. Paul was humbled by the hand of God, while on his way to Damascus, to persecute Christians.

3. Peter fell into sin of denying Jesus Christ- God allowed this fall, to make him understand that- in God alone, we stand firm, and become worthy to carry out HIS 'Most Holy will'. In our pride and strength of our will, we cannot do God's work.

4. e.g. Abraham.

5. Israelites were tested in the desert for forty years- to know whether they'll faithfully obey God's Commandments.


6. Wise instructions through different people; moral instructions of Faith, through different circumstances. We fail to recognize HIM in the opportunities HE presents to us, for our homecoming.

7. e.g. King David.

8. God did not abandon Joseph to suffer the wicked designs of his brothers, but HE cared for him and rescued him from his plight.

9. Works that are good, and for the greater Glory of God. e.g. God assisted Abraham's servant to choose Rebekah as a wife for Isaac.

10. e.g.  Abraham, Moses, Jonah et al.

The purpose of our Life

In whatever state of life we are placed, God's purpose for our life, is to live a Holy life in HIM.
Although we live in the  world of Vanity, our hearts should always be focused in living a life of sanctity in God.
While living in this world of Vanity, we must always pray to be Wise– that we give to Caesar¹, what belongs² to Caesar and  never to  be indifferent³ in giving to God, what belongs to God.

We are pilgrims in this world. This world  is not our home. God's purpose for our life is— that we live our short life,  Beautifully and Wonderfully in HIM–  being a light to the world and guiding others⁴ on the path of Eternal life, through  our Faithful and virtuous life in HIM.

We are placed in this world, where God's presence seems to be far-off. God's purpose for our life is–  that we live each day with Faith and Hope of Eternal life in HIM.

God Blessed HIS creation to be fruitful and to multiply.  God's purpose for our life is to be fruitful in HIS  Love  and to spread the fragrance of Sanctity, by our deeds of Love.

God created this world in HIS Faithful Love. HE wants us to live in HIS  Love and Reverence.

1. A prototype of the world.

2. Whatever duties the world requires us to do, we must do it Faithfully.

3. We must never be indifferent in doing our duty of Love towards God- to honour God in all places, at all times; to live as becoming children of God.

4. People of weak Faith; people of other faiths .
