When there is no Divinity guiding a human being in its three main aspects of mind, body and soul, the transcending power of eternal wisdom does not interfere in our lives. We are left to our own limited devices and free will, which functions on subjective insight and memory. As imperfect creatures, we are likely to make continuous mistakes based on our weak human nature. In addition, we are exposed to the snares of the devil and his legions of many throughout our earthly existence.
Individuals, families and nations which abandon God are doing themselves a huge disservice. You can only live a truly harmonious and fruitful life, if God and all the blessings of the Holy Spirit are embraced. Conversely, God’s absence in a person’s life causes emptiness and misguidance. If you give up on God and deny His existence, no true and lasting prosperity is possible. Instead, many rifts and personal vices will appear in your life.
The biggest surprise, however, is that even if you give up on the Creator, Savior, and Redeemer, He will never give up on you or stop loving you! He will fight for your eternal soul until your last breath. Our Christian God is a God of love, accepting every human being’s free will, yet hoping for a conversion of heart, if necessary, until the moment of death.
Take a look at the United States in this day and age. “In God we trust” is being propagated, yet if this were so, God’s commandments would be respected. There would be no child and adult pornography on the internet and other media outlets, there would be no legalized and government funded abortion, there would be a healthcare system equitable and fair for all, there would be no idolatry of wealth, riches and success, but rather the focus on a culture of life where true virtues of goodness are celebrated. We would want to teach our children eternal truths, firmly embedded in the proclamations of the Church. We would want to stand up against divorce, adultery, sex trafficking, the misuse of drugs and alcohol, and all other human trappings, which have no intrinsic value, but are designed to corrupt people.
How can you then live a holy life, in which decisions will withstand the test of time and deliver splendid results? There is only one firm path – allowing Christ to become the shepherd of your soul, the gatekeeper of your body, the steward of your spirit.
The fact that America has so many social, political, economic, but foremost moral problems shows that the country has – to a significant extent – turned away from God. In His absence, there is uncertainty, chaos, confusion and unease. The odor of hatred and war is permeating today’s modern world, since the faith in the Eternal Truth has been replaced by a culture of death, in which the devil unceasingly attempts to destroy western civilization, built on Christianity and radiant human condition.
