How to Use the Doctrine of Faith and Piety
605. In order to correctly use the teaching of faith and piety,
we must fulfill what we have learned, under pain of grave condemnation for non-fulfillment.
“If you know these things, blessed are you when you do them” (John 13:17).
“But that servant who knew the will of his master, and was not ready, and did not do according to his will, will receive many stripes” (Luke 12:47).
606. What should you do when you notice sin in yourself?
When we see sin in ourselves, we should not only immediately repent and firmly resolve to avoid sin in the future, but also try, if possible, to make up for the temptation or harm caused by it with good deeds that are contrary to it. This is what Zacchaeus the tax collector did when he said to the Lord:
“Lord! I will give half of my property to the poor, and if I have offended anyone, I will repay him fourfold” (Luke 19:8).
607. What should we do if it seems to us that we have fulfilled some commandment?
If it seems to us that we have fulfilled any commandment, we need to adjust our heart (feelings and thoughts) according to the words of our Lord Jesus Christ:
“When you have done everything commanded you, say: “We are worthless slaves, because we did what we had to do” (Luke 17:10).
