Читать книгу How to believe more deeply - Andrea Pirringer - Страница 3

Dear Reader,

you are a religious man and would like to deepen your faith, but do not know how to do that?

The deepening of faith is always a Coming-closer-to-God. This is done from two sides: on the one hand by the believer himself, who deals in detail with God, on the other hand starting of God, because He more and more reveals to man.

This can develop – in the course of life - a deep bond, which is not only a help for man in his everyday life, but also in his hour of death: it carries him over into the eternal home.

Therefore, faith is a lifelong "project". You can turn away from the faith itself freely, you can believe half-hearted or you believe seriously and honestly; then it is a permanent bond, similar to a marriage.

This partnership with God persists from the beginning of man's existence: every man is a thought of God. So God has already established facts, even before we were mentally able to recognize Him as our Lord and Creator, and even before we were able to turn to Him.

It is a covenant that is associated with a credit of trust. God has already everything prepared. - "He saw that it was good." Now it is up to the individual to accept this caring offer deliberately and grateful.
