(1 Thess. 2, 14–19; Luke 11, 23–26) “He who is not with Me is against Me; and whoever does not gather with Me scatters” (Luke 11:23). It turns out that you can work for a whole century and think that a lot of all sorts of good things have been collected, but everything is of no use, since it was not collected with the Lord. What does it mean to gather with the Lord? To work and act by faith in the Lord, according to His commandments, with the help of His grace, inspired by His promises - to live so that the spirit of life is the spirit of Christ. There are two areas in the world - good and evil, truth and lies. Only goodness and truth constitute real possessions, lasting and valuable; but good and truth come only from the Lord, and are acquired only with His help. It is clear that whoever does not collect with the Lord will not collect truth and goodness, will not collect what can be called real estate, lasting and valuable, whatever anyone collects is of no use, it is all in vain, a waste of energy and time.
