As I said in part one the world thinks we are nothing and worth nothing. But the world has forgotten who made us and why He made us.
In the Baltimore Catechism it says, "We are created to know, to love, and serve God with our whole heart, mind and soul." We are worth more; Why? Because we are the adopted sons and daughters of God.
Our body is a gift from God but is a gift to God. So we are worth so much more than we can imagine; but we need to understand something and let me do the best I can for God to teach you. We give our body as a gift; just like Jesus giving of Himself to do what? To redeem us and to feed us.
We give of ourself to God to sanctify everything we do and to help us become saints.In True Devotion, St. Louis De Montfort tell us we are "slaves of Christ." We are slaves in a sense where we freely love, serve and follow Christ and we also children of the Father.
God does not force us to love, serve and follow Him but we freely chose to be His slaves and do all for Him and through baptism we are His children. With baptism we are no longer children of the world but of God.
When we become children of God; we are no longer to seek what is right here or below but of what is above as St. Paul tells us. The world itself is good because God created it but with all the corruption that is destroying the world and with this the evil one with the corruption will and is corrupting us and our souls.
We are not to listen to the world but God. Which means we are to live the fullness of the faith and live the virtues. I do believe the devil and his demons are running the world and when evil is controling the evil which we produce and create by our sins; then living in the world is very dangerous.
But we musn't be afraid and keep our hope in God; because He will never forget His children and faithful servants. Finally, do not dress or act like the world. Dress humble and modest and act like a child and servant of God should act.
God bless
