The experience we gain over time in our lives is a double-edged knife.

On the one hand, it helps in the efficiency of our actions, but on the other hand it can become a habit and the cause of superficiality and carelessness, often, with sad consequences. Particularly the proactive and powerful people are at the center of risk, and self-testing is therefore an indispensable tool on a daily basis. Christ Himself, knowing this great danger of pride created by our successes, recommends self-control and determines the criterion by which we will measure our successes.

As the slave at that time did not acquire rights because he had executed his master’s commands, so the people of faith do not acquire rights of faith because we did what Christ has told us to do for our own sake.

Failure to perform involves laziness and inertia. Execution to gain rights over others, brings pride, increases selfishness, and the spirit of God does not follow.

Synopsis is the summary of a content. And the synopsis, the summary, can often predispose of the content, but the discovery of the content is there and it is waiting for everyone to discover it.

This means that the summary is necessary for issues that have large, extensive content, and to make our introduction to this big issue, we first need to know the summary and then go deeper, to look for the content that this summary states.

Only then is the summary meaningful, when it is accompanied by substantial extensive content which we are called upon to discover and understand. In the life of faith this is of paramount importance because, based on historical reality, it would never be possible to write down all the details of the events outlined in the Bible.

This is why the people of faith are called upon to know the summary of events, then to go deeper in the content, keeping in one hand the events of daily life, and in the other hand the Bible’s instructions on how to live effectively the life of faith that guarantees not only today but also the future of life.

Our signature confirms that the content of an act is our own work and not the work of another. Our attempt to deny our work is powerless when the work carries our own handwritten signature and not the handwritten signature of someone else. And it is well known in history that many have tried to intercept the content of an act by altering and violating the signatures.

However, in modern times theft is relatively easy to uncover, because we always leave personal traces, and if anyone wants to counterfeit or appropriate our own work, reality contradicts them. The social environment can have an effect on some of our actions, but the act itself always bears our signature and the contribution of social influences cannot be an alibi for an act we would like to forget.

Taking on the responsibility of an act with our mark is the safe prerequisite for any serious effort if we want to forget the bad past and build a safer, healthier and more efficient personal future.

Everyone writes their own story every day and play their own role in society. From the moment of our birth and especially from our adulthood, everyone is in the stage of the struggles of society and plays a role with the world all around them as viewers.

And as the world around us is not only our neighbors, but it is also the edges of the world through modern technology, it is obvious that the role should not only be what I want, but I also need to learn to practice it effectively and produce good results, since my purpose is not only the livelihood but also the recognition, the applause of the spectators for the lesson that they take from my own role.

Much more the people of living faith are called not only to work for livelihood, but also to show the virtues of faith they receive from the one who calls them in another struggle, not as tired and burdened but as protagonists, heads and leading personalities, who demonstrate in practice their belief that the living God enlivens mortal bodies with his own renewing Spirit of Truth and Life.

My willingness for something, my good desire and intention is not enough. It’s a good start, a good sign. Because everyone wants the willingness, the good intention, to be confirmed with corresponding actions that will prove that we did not stay in the idea and the intentions, but we paid the cost in time, fatigue and money and finally did the work we had the desire to do.

My good inclination to become a doctor when I was a young person does not mean that I became a doctor if willingness did not complete the twenty years of studies to learn science and then practice the profession and finish the cycle wish-studies-results.

But when we come to the issues of living faith in the living God, we usually live in kindergarten, intentions and willingness, emotions and not the exact knowledge and practical application of the Word. We may learn to spell, but we are far from understanding the meanings that transform our lives.

We stay children in mind and mature in fraud, children in religious feelings but professionals in greed and perversion. And then we blame everyone else but us for the misery and poverty of our lives.
