Wisdom hunters: The only thing that counts is faith expressing itself through love, Galatians 5:6

in love •  4 years ago 

Part of the epistle to the Galatians is intended for those who are initiated into the doctrine of the Kingdom of God, men should not follow the imperatives of a law that only serves to indicate sin, but look for that living word, that is, the progressive knowledge that revealed by Jesus brings us closer to the law of love and the invisible realities: "The only thing that counts is faith expressing itself through love", Galatians 5:6.
In the gospels to follow Jesus is to accept the word of God: "Blessed rather are those who hear the word of God and obey it", Luke 11:28. Jesus is the word of God, Jesus is the personification of the wisdom of God, Jesus is "son of man": "I am the door", John 10:9.
Faith accompanies the word of God and works through mercy, piety; the freedom of the spirit in the doctrine of the Kingdom is to live the spiritual gifts: "Be perfect as your heavenly Father is perfect", Matthew 5:48; "Be merciful just as your Father is merciful", Luke 6:36; "Be holy because I am holy", 1 Peter 1:16.
But these are ultimately concepts referring to the rational man, the rational man needs faith and hope because reason cannot reach the truth, faith is a gift that accompanies us until spiritual maturity.

In the spiritual man, concepts such as the law of Moses or the faith that works through mercy do not make sense, the spiritual man perceives divine truths ("Blessed are the pure in heart for they shall see God", Matthew 5:8), through the contemplative life, that is, the knowledge of wisdom: "This is eternal life that they know you the only true God", John 17:3.
Jesus makes a message clear to us, spiritual gifts are the way to invisible realities, realities that can only be perceived with intelligence: "No one can see the kingdom of God unless they are born again", John 3:3
