Actio sequitur esse5/18/2023 Are you not doing something? Is your work useless? Is your good acts unmerited? As Matthew writes,Ħ “Be careful not to practice your righteousness in front of others to be seen by them. If you do, you will have no reward from your Father in heaven. It’s always dynamic, it moves unceasingly. As Paul says, “ 20 I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. If we are in Christ the Lord then our being should always follow what’s inside us. Agere sequitur esse or Action always follows being. The perfect man has shown humanity how to live. 14 But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.(Mt. The Lord didn’t only promise a smooth way, 13 “Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. Not all as stated in Matthew, 21 “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. If we confess that He is our personal Lord and savior yet we don’t obey him then judge by yourself. 16 If one of you says to them, “Go in peace keep warm and well fed,” but does nothing about their physical needs, what good is it? 17 In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead. “ 14 What good is it, my brothers and sisters, if someone claims to have faith but has no deeds? Can such faith save them? 15 Suppose a brother or a sister is without clothes and daily food. My point is that, we need to do something in contrast to what I’ve heard. I am not saying here that I discard the works of Jesus. “Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, love for the Father is not in them.” “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.”
