The only right way

One day everything will be fine, there will be a white streak. But if a person renounces faith at a difficult time, he is like one of those spouses who vowed great love and betrayed it at a temporary difficulty.

The consequence of faith is the fear of God. It helps to achieve the main goal — to be an acceptable servant of the Almighty. The fear of God is to realize the infinite greatness of the Creator every moment so that every temptation in life pales before the understanding of Whom you can upset. At the same time, it is necessary to realize Whom you can please with your good deeds. The reward for this will also be infinitely great. God must be loved sincerely from the bottom of your heart, soul, and mind — He is your Creator!

Some people do not think of the Most High because of a lack of information from any religion, but if such people live naturally without breaking the commandments and laws of the Holy Scriptures, they will also be pleasers. So the most important thing is intention and action.

Let's talk a little about the soul. The soul is eternal, and the fact that it exists is even proven by science (when a person dies, the weight of the deceased decreases by 21 grams). The holy texts say that the soul is in the blood. The soul is you. When you leave your earthly body, as if you were moving from one car to another, you take with you the accumulated energy 'baggage', your true DNA, that you have acquired on earth. This DNA is prescribed based on your intentions, thoughts, actions, efforts, and sufferings during your earthly life. It is the imprint you leave behind forever. It is the path you have traveled, which cannot be changed after death. This path is the book of your deeds mentioned in the holy texts. You will receive the reward you deserve based on this book.

Therefore, while you are alive, take action. As it is written, "Each person will only have what they endeavored towards, and that [the outcome of] their endeavors will be seen [in their record]."

Choose the right goals and the right, true way, and strive for true success.

Logically, there is no point in setting goals, because we will all be gone. The point is only to be pleasing to God and to enter eternal life by successfully passing this exam — earthly life.

Don't rush the time

In the previous chapter, we found out what we should put first in life — the greatest and purest pursuit — to be pleasing to God. One must never abandon this path, not even in the hour of death; on the contrary, it is precisely in the hour of death that one must believe, repent, and ask for forgiveness.

In fact, everything that exists is distinguished in the holy texts by only two criteria: bad and good, good and evil, and acceptable and unacceptable.

Man is the greatest creation; it is enough that we are the image of the invisible God, according to the Scriptures. Because if man is insignificant, then so are the stars and the cosmos and the whole Universe and even what is beyond it. Everything has a period of stay in this world, some shorter, some longer. Everything, like people, came from somewhere, and once it did not exist, and once it will die, and once it will be resurrected. So everything that exists is a unity, connected by a common Source. But really there is only one difference and it is not material — you are either a favorable creature to your Creator or you are not. Because what is not pleasing to the Creator does not exist or will not exist soon, but what is pleasing will always exist.

All God-inspired books, as well as the common human mind and logic, tell us this in unison.

Striving to please the Most High defines a true believer from any religion, or simply a person who believes in the One Lord God. This is what unites all the books of the Holy Scriptures and all the Abrahamic religions, and what consolidates believers from all over the world.
