Let us not be redeemed from slavery only to fall voluntarily into the slavery of death and corruption. Man is free to choose for himself the freedom of eternal life. God has given us the choice. Let us choose life. Let us go towards this rife.
Life is given with difficulty.
The kingdom of Heaven is attained with difficulty, as it is said in the Gospel, and only those who labor for life enter into it, into the Kingdom of God, the Kingdom of Heaven. We've become corrupt through unbelief and satiating ourselves with earthly goods. Let us become sober. Let us look at the Cross. Here is Christ Who has been crucified for us so that we might live eternally.
