From the beginning of his existence on earth, man has understood that one of the most effective mechanisms by which he can control, subordinate, and lead his fellows is the establishment of a system of fear, authoritarian control, and emotional manipulation; mechanisms that we unfortunately find implemented and propped up even in what is meant to be the vision of some, the Church of God.
There, in the Sanctuary that should have been holy and dedicated exclusively to the Godhead, people somehow found the ‘perfect’ mechanisms by which to keep their fellow men under strict control; using all sorts of tricks the feelings and emotions preached with verve, but which when looked at carefully and analytically do not make the slightest spiritual sense.
Although this statement may seem surprising, looking closely at both the world and the Church’s Institution, we will understand the bankruptcy in which most of us lead our lives; People who are under pressure have completely changed their view of the life of faith and have fallen into the trap of thanking and worshiping their fellow human beings to the detriment of the Creator of the world, who should actually be the epicenter of our daily mentality and actions. mechanically spoken name to sound good).
But God’s word is clear and precise when it comes to how we relate to one another and then to divinity:
I quote: ‘It is better to seek refuge in the Lord than to trust in man’! – I have finished the quote from Psalm 118: 8
If, therefore, we have imagined the world to be dependent on us and others, we must now learn that the only way in which life makes sense is through Jesus Christ.
He, the God of God, incarnated not only to make us obedient slaves of fear, but in His goodness and elegance as an eternal Father, He became our brother, because He wanted us and wants us to be His trusted partners (emissaries of Peace), together with which to administer His whole creation.
Choose God and you will feel the difference.
Be blessed!
