135. Земная жизнь есть великий дар Божий, коим мы можем заслужить себе блаженство

Earthly life is a great gift of God, by which we can earn ourselves such bliss that Holy Scripture, by the Holy Spirit, calls them gods. While the Lord has not yet taken away this life, we will be strongly urged to be saved. If everything ended with death, then, it would seem, there would be nothing, but the trouble is that after death, endless torment will begin for the careless, so severe that it is impossible to imagine that grief. When it gets really hard here, it’s like a drop of water against the water of all the seas and rivers! - Ask for God’s help, always remember your death and torment, and, God willing, little by little you will improve. I'm praying for you. Invoking the peace and blessing of God, I remain with sincere goodwill. You might be interested in:
