The Theme: God’s Call. Monk Abercius.

Apostle Pavel the 2nd part 5-6 “And as we know, when we follow the fleshly wishes, we are kept from God”. When we follow the fleshly wishes and think only about how satisfy our body, we move away from God. And many people, who are attended by rays of God’s Truth, conceal and keep from God’s Truth to corporal feelings, corporal thinking intentionally. But when you will have no body, where will you hide? As the rich man?
Apostle Pavel. Rome. 8-7 “fleshly thoughts are the gist of enmity against God.” The bishop Ignatiy (Bryanchaninov) exposes these words of Apostle Pavel. “The fleshly thinking is infected and filled with enmity and resistance to God”. When we think in such way, we will come to the denial of God or to perverted faith in God, pleasing to demons. It is clear where will lead this way.
A body is the temporary, earthly home of a sole. Apostle Pavel the 2nd part 5-1 “Because we know, that when our earthly home ruins, we will have the dwelling from God on heaven, the unoriginal and eternal home.” WHAT DO YOU GRIEVE FOR? Because on “heaven”. And you became too earthly and fleshly minded. But we should leave fleshly thoughts. A flesh is a temporary home. Don’t look for the excuse of your earthly affections in fleshly reflection. Confide to God’s Truth. Rise by spirit!
Time passes very fast. Prepare for the heaven! God calls us to the heaven. And “we have the home from God on the heaven!” God is the witness!
