Modern society does not offer us a relaxing life. People are becoming exhausted under the pressure of various adverse circumstances, trying desperately to free themselves from the burden of problems. However, spiritual blindness does not allow them to see the simple and obvious solution that is literally staring them in the face. It is impossible to free yourself from the pressure of the consequences of your mistakes without true love.
Attraction, sensuality, and lust are earthly and distorted concepts of love. True love has colossal power and manifests on Earth only when the spirit unites with bodily eros.
The spirit is love and conscience, a celestial being created by the Holy Will. What prevents the body from making this necessary connection with the spirit?
Sins, vices, mistakes... or whatever else you want to call this powerful cloud of the Darkness, insurmountably separating us from our spiritual origin and God. And this dark cloud will be insurmountable until man awakens spiritually and finds the way out through faith and deliverance from vices.
Those who have embarked on this Path will experience slow but steady strengthening of the connection between the spirit and the body. As a result, their personality will brighten, and gratitude and love for God will grow. It is precisely what the Messiah called for: "If you love Me, keep My commandments" (John 14:15).
Finally, love will reach such strength and purity that it will demolish personal hell, throwing off the shackles of the Darkness acquired from spiritual laziness and ignorance. And then the long-awaited Freedom will come, which millions of people enslaved by sophisticated lies yearn for.
You can overcome the Darkness alone; there are many such spiritual victories in the history of humanity. "Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it" (Matthew 7:13-14).
With these words, Jesus Christ pointed out to his contemporaries that official denominations, which had no experience living according to the commandments, drew many to these "wide gates" that give neither love nor freedom. We see the same thing happening throughout the history of Christianity right up to the present day.
The early Christians marched to their death for their faith, having no churches, no priests, no rituals, and no sacraments; by contrast, the majority of modern Christians have no time to search within themselves for the spiritual impulse to say a sincere prayer to the glory of God and thank Him for His long-lasted patience.
Entering through the "narrow gate" means finding the Path that, through the Word of Jesus Christ, will surely and quickly lead to love and freedom.
Now, the Word of God resounds on Earth with unparalleled power. It is an alarm calling upon the final battle with the Darkness!
