The Flaming Sword of Grace, De-Icing the Spiritual Coldness in Our Lives. Sanctifying Grace against Darkness.

Are we searching for Jesus in a lukewarm mode because we do not want to carry our crosses to follow Him? Believing in Jesus, His example, and His teachings is certainly not enough. We also need a movement of the heart to follow His example. Everybody can believe in Jesus, even Satan and his demons believe that He exists. The only way to know Jesus comes through direct experience. And it can be done through our own experiential knowledge of obedience to the will of God for our lives, as our Saviour showed us during His ministry, which can transform our character into the righteousness of Jesus and lead us on a secure path to the Kingdom of Heaven, even on this earth. However, if we avoid the sacrifices necessary for our spiritual growth, we will be securing Christ’s rejection because material wealth will not give us access to the doors of Paradise and the Tree of life, no matter how hard we will knock at these doors. Then, our true nakedness will be revealed, and we will grasp our true lukewarm state, remembering how many times Christ was knocking at our door and we didn’t hear Him due to our spiritual indifference.
