The confession of Christ begins with the way we live, said the Bishop of South Bessarabia at the Great Chioseliatranslated

"Confession to Christ begins with the way we live, with the love we show to those around us and with the good word we address to those who need encouragement," Bishop Veniamin of Southern Bessarabia emphasized on Sunday at the "Holy Pious Parascheva" Parish in Chioselia Mare, Republic of Moldova.

His Eminence explained the evangelical perspective of the wonderful fishing and the calling of the first Apostles, highlighting the importance of obeying God and trusting in His help.

"We see that these fishermen, who would become the Apostles of the Lord, were simple people, but skilled in their craft. However, after a whole night of toil, they did not manage to catch anything. It was only when they listened to the word of the Savior that their labor brought abundant fruit."

"When we do not work together with Christ and do not realize that everything we have comes from God, we risk wasting the fruits of our work. But, when we have God in our lives, when we put our hope in His help and do good work for His glory, everything can increase and bring blessed fruits", the hierarch emphasized.
