(1 Thess. 1, 1–5; Luke 10, 22–24) “No one knows who the Father is except the Son, and to whom the Son wants to reveal it” (Luke 10:22). The Son was on earth and revealed everything we needed Himself and through the Holy Spirit acting in the apostles. Consequently, what you find in the Gospel and the apostolic writings is the only thing you will and can know about the Father and Divine things. Don’t look for this anymore and don’t think beyond this to find the truth about God and God’s plans anywhere else. What a great treasure we have! .. Everything has already been said. Don’t rack your brains, but just accept with faith what is revealed. It is revealed that God is one in essence and threefold in persons - Father, Son and Holy Spirit, accept it by faith and keep it so. It is revealed that the Trinitarian God created everything with the word, holds everything in His right hand and provides for everything, accept it by faith and maintain it so. It is revealed that we were in a state of bliss and fell, and that for the restoration and redemption of us, the Son of God, the second Person of the Most Holy Trinity, was incarnate, suffered, died on the cross, was resurrected and ascended into heaven - accept this by faith and hold it so. It is revealed that whoever wants to be saved must believe in the Lord and, having accepted divine grace in the holy sacraments, with its help, live according to the commandments of the Lord, fighting passions and lusts through appropriate deeds - accept this by faith and do so. It is revealed that whoever lives according to the instructions of the Lord, after death he enters into the bright abodes, the forerunner of eternal bliss, and whoever does not live like this, after death he begins to experience the torments of hell - accept this by faith and thereby admonish and inspire yourself to goodness and deeds. So accept everything with faith and guard it faithfully. There is no need to rack your brains to come up with something of your own; And don’t listen to those who talk a lot, for they went without knowing where. You might be interested in:
