Unbelief in Christ- an incredible betrayal.

 Imagine such a situation. You are sitting in a car or bus that does not have proper brakes. You sit and wait to die, and you don’t know it. If you had known it, suspected it, you would certainly have done something to prevent it, to stop it. You would not get into this vehicle unless this severe fault, like bad brakes, were fixed. The lives of those who refused to believe in Christ should be changed as soon as possible because they are like those who get into a vehicle without brakes. The words of the Gospel remind us of this: “He who despises me and does not accept my words has his judge” (Jn 12:48).

The situation of those who have lost faith or have not believed in Christ is therefore critical because they do not realize how their eternal happiness is threatened. They must understand that whoever refuses to believe in Christ should try to change his position. We see how many ways God tries to show man how his life is threatened, not only here on earth but especially in his eternal life. Disbelief in Christ is also disbelief in God, and God wants to save all people. Saint Paul says that God created us without us, but he can save us only with our contribution. He sent us his Son, who taught us everything we must do to be saved. Jesus taught us about two gifts that we must not overlook, namely that we have a reason, which makes us the pinnacle of all creation, and free will, which must cooperate with reason also in the matter of the salvation of our soul. However, let us remember that God allows us to be tested today. Not to lose us but to make us more worthy of his love. Therefore, sometimes, it blinds our eyes and hardens our hearts so that we can then touch the bottom of God’s grace. Thus, let’s properly understand that such states in our life can also be a gift from God: A person is dissatisfied with himself when he experiences disappointment, he feels the illness of his body or a neighbor, – he experiences the death of a loved one, he feels the temptation of body and soul. God does not allow this to destroy man even more or because he is not interested in his creation, but on the contrary. In our faith, we should also correctly understand the words of the old Christian proverb: “Whom the Lord God loves, he visits with the cross.”
