#Reflection #Original_Faith #Salvation #Knowing_Jesus It is necessary to steadfastly remember that when the Gospel speaks of the forgiveness of sins and offenses, it has in mind personal sins and personal offenses. However, we usually understand and do everything the other way around. Self-assertive human pride forgives everything except for personal offenses. You can be both an atheist and a blasphemer and that is fine, only don’t touch me. You can be a thief and murderer, just leave me alone. You can be any type of scoundrel, but if you don’t do anything bad to me personally, especially if you do something pleasing to me, then you are already a good person. The opposite is also true: if the best possible person in some way, even unintentionally, wounds our pride, then there’s trouble: enmity between us is unavoidable, and he immediately becomes our mortal enemy. This is how everything is distorted. Our law is such: the one who indulges our self-assertive human pride, the one who pleases our passions is good and our best friend, but the one who speaks to us even one word of reproach, even if it contains salvific truth, immediately becomes our enemy... When a gentle word of persuasion has no effect, when people are so steeped in evil that they do not yield to any admonishment and continue doing evil, a Christian cannot and should not take refuge in this teaching of the forgiveness of all, sit indifferently with his arms crossed, and apathetically watch as evil abuses good, as it increases and destroys people, his close ones. To indifferently watch the ruin of a close one by one who has lost his senses and become a bearer of evil is nothing other than the breaking of the commandment of love for one’s neighbor. Every type of such evil should be immediately thwarted with the most decisive measures, even including the sacrifice of oneself in an unequal struggle. The following words express particularly this idea: Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. These are words which our Church has long applied to those Christ-loving soldiers who heroically died for the salvation of their neighbors. – Archbishop Averky Taushev https://t.me/OrthodoxSpirituality555/1972

#Jesus_Words #Fear_Not #Salvation Matthew 6:34 Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.

In the book “Unseen warfare” we read advice about what to do to stay firm in faith and not to fall. ✔️“The mind should be freed and guarded from ignorance”, it says, “which is most harmful, for it darkens the mind and prevents it from knowing the truth”. ✔️That’s why we need to exercise our mind, to make it clear and lucid, able to distinguish things , so that we could get rid of passions and attain virtues. Saints suggest two means for acquiring such clarity of mind. ✔️1) - prayer . We ask the Holy Spirit to pour His divine light into our hearts. And He will, if we truly seek God and obey His will. ✔️2) - always to examine things, learn and explore deeply. So that we could see clearly which of them are good and which bad.. ✔️And we “should judge them not as the world and the senses do, but as they are judged by right season and the Holy Spirit, or by the word of the divinely-inspired Scriptures, or that of the holy fathers and teachers of the Church”.

Our dear Saints always struggled for piety and purity of heart. Abba Pimen teaches: "As long as the pot is on the fire, no fly nor any other animal can get near it, but as soon as it is cold, these creatures get inside. So it is for the monk; as long as he lives in spiritual activities, the enemy cannot find a means of overthrowing him." (Sayings of the Desert Fathers)

Psalms 103:13 Like as a father pitieth his children, so the Lord pitieth them that fear him.

#Reflection #Original_Faith #Salvation “Every man on earth is sick with the fever of sin, with the blindness of sin and is overcome with its fury. As sins consist mostly of malice and pride, it is necessary to treat everyone who suffers from the malady of sin with kindness and love. This is an important truth, which we often forget. Very often we act in the opposite manner: we add malice to malice by our anger, we oppose pride with pride. Thus, evil grows within us and does not decrease; it is not cured – rather it spreads.” — St. John of Kronstadt https://t.me/orthodox_church/17707
