What Does a Man Live With - Tolstoy

People Become Happy with Love and Compassion

But he cannot realize that the source of this is God, Christ and the Holy Spirit.

That's why people should learn this. It should be known that love and mercy enter the human soul and gain meaning not from the essence of man, but through the inspiration of the Almighty God, Christ.

Christ sheds light on us with his exemplary life, we all imitate his life, and we see happiness and salvation only in Him. Those who went ahead were stripped of their sense of self and sacrificed themselves to be reborn and become true children of God.

Christ Jesus says that we must be born again. However, this necessity is the result of an instinct that exists in humans and cannot be implemented. For our present existence, it is necessary for us to be born again with a rational conscience. The purpose of giving humans a rational conscience is the true inspiration of God discovered in this conscience. In real life, only the person who directs and can direct towards this is worthy of this. It is a complete mistake to consider animal life and life surrendered to sin as mere existence and to deprive oneself of life itself and eternal life, which is God's command.

“Love God with all your heart, with all your soul and with all your being,” said the great Christ, “This is the first of your duties.” And the lawgiver said to Christ, "Then the second thing must be to love your brothers." “You have discovered well,” said Christ to him, “Do likewise. If you love God and your brothers, you will have true life and have a place with God,” and Christ added, “Love your enemies also. By loving your enemies you bring shame to him, he added, and true life is living in the love of Christ.”

Every person who wants to reach God and achieve happiness unknowingly steps on the path that the Lord Jesus Christ walked.

He sees Him in front of the path on which He walks. Those who truly love God and want to reach Him unconsciously encounter each other as God's children and under God's inspiration. Those who do not truly know God, those who cannot see that He is merciful, those who are incapable of seeing Jesus Christ, who takes all the sins of people upon himself; They became jealous, spiteful and oppressive people.

WHAT DOES A PERSON LIVE WITH? SUMMARY:

The angel, who returns from taking the soul of a mother who has just given birth as a duty from God, is sent to the world in human form for mercy to humanity.

God asks him to find out what people have inside them and return to Him.

• Learn what is inside man (GOD)
• Learn what is given to man (HOLY SPIRIT)
• Learn what people live by (MESHITA, that is, LOVE)

When the angel acquires these three pieces of knowledge, that is, when he understands God's mercy and love for people, the Heavenly Father; that is, he returns to God.

The angel says, "I found the answer to the question of what lives in humans." ”I realized that what lives in man is love through Christ the Lord. I was overjoyed and smiled for the first time when I realized that God was beginning to teach me what He had promised. But I had not learned all of them, I did not know what was given to man and what man lived on. I sat with you, a year has passed.
 The man who ordered boots that would last a whole year came and I suddenly looked at his face. I saw that the man behind him was the angel of death. No one saw that angel but me, I knew that the angel would take his life before the sun set. I thought to myself, the man is preparing for a year and has no idea that he will die before evening.
I also remembered the second thing God said, learn what has been given to man. I learned what it is that lives in man:

to meet God

Now I was learning what is not given to humans. Man has not been given the power to know his own needs. I smiled for the second time. I'm glad God showed me the second lesson. But I hadn't learned it all yet. I didn't know what people live on. I lived until the day God showed me the third and final lesson.

In the sixth year a woman and twin girls arrived. I met the girls and heard how they survived. When I heard the story, I thought, his mother had begged me for the sake of the children. When the woman said she couldn't live without her mother and father, I believed her. When the woman showed compassion and love for children that were not hers and cried for them, I saw the greatness of God in her.

God's greatness

I learned what a person lives on. I have learned that people live not by concern for themselves, but by the inspiration of the love of the Lord Christ. The means for this love is the love that the Lord Christ has placed in the human heart. Information about the needs of those children was given to their mothers. The rich man was also informed about what he needed. It is not stated what the rich man needs. Likewise, it is not given to him to know whether his feet need boots or death slippers in the evening.

When I am human, it is not that I suffer from anxiety myself; I survived because a man passing by had love and mercy, and he and his wife took pity on me and helped me. So man lives by love, the love that the Lord Jesus Christ has placed in our hearts.

A person lives with love and does not know when he will die. Therefore, it is necessary to identify with love the cross of the Lord Jesus Christ in order to reconcile all sinners to God.
