There are those who think that religion will make you sad and gloomy and block the path to success. Well no, the religion of Christ does not destroy or weaken a single ability of man. On this path you will not lose the pleasures of true happiness; True religion does not mean diminishing your vital interests or making yourself indifferent to the demands of friends and society. She does not cover life with a thick veil of us; she does not express herself in loud sighs and moans.
You must know and feel as a Christian that those for whom God is the first, the last and the best in life will be the happiest people in this world. Religion does not make those who accept it rude, impolite. On the contrary, it elevates and ennobles them, improves their tastes, sanctifies judgment and makes them fit to live in the company of angels and in the house that Jesus prepared for those who love him.
We will never lose sight of the fact that Jesus is a source of joy. He wants to see all the happy people. Christian believers have many sources of happiness at their disposal, and can unequivocally indicate which are permissible and which are not. You can afford such entertainments that do not corrupt the mind and do not pollute the soul, that do not bring disappointment, do not detract from the dignity of the individual and do not block the way to participation in good deeds. If they carry Jesus with them and keep the spirit of prayer, they will be on the safe path.
At the heart of true greatness is the fear of the Lord. Integrity is the principle that must be followed in all cases of life. May the feelings of Christ accompany you at school, at home and in each of your actions. He has an important task: to use his education in such a way that he achieves the purity and integrity of Christian character, subordinating all the temporal interests of this life to the noble goal of the gospel of Christ.
You need to improve your character so that your life among people fulfills the intentions of God that were put in man during creation. Whatever you have to do in life, never allow the idea that you cannot be successful unless you sacrifice principle.
Driven by a religious principle, it can reach any height. It is good to see those who have accomplished the noble purpose that God has intended for them. God wants to see spiritually strong people who are ready to undertake the achievement of a great cause, and for this purpose they are called to work, doing their best.
There are many talented people who use their skills to spread moral decay and corruption. Those who sow unpleasant seeds that will bear fruit only bitterness and disappointment. It is terrible to use the powers of God to sow harm and pain, instead of being a true blessing to society.
Each of us has a certain responsibility. We will be able to fulfill the high purpose in life if we fully accept it and then faithfully fulfill it.
