 We believe that our moral actions serve as evidence of the genuine reality of the gospel, and therefore, we willingly participate in God's work. The teachings of the Old Testament have been replaced by the influence of Greek philosophy, which emphasizes the concept of deceitfulness. According to this philosophy, the principal gods are the secondary causes that we have the ability to control through our cognitive abilities. Unfortunately, we often deviate from the path of the glorious gospel of divine grace and are easily led astray. It is crucial for us to avoid relying on secondary means and instead wholeheartedly embrace the gospel life with a sense of urgency. In reality, there are specific periods in our lives when we experience setbacks due to challenging circumstances, but we also have moments of growth and triumph. However, our overall understanding of life is shaped by a gradual and holistic development through the guidance of the Word and the Spirit. The apostle instructs us to actively suppress and eradicate sinful tendencies by adhering to the laws that govern their destruction. Additionally, the apostle encourages us to sing Psalms, Hymns, and spiritual songs in order to thrive in our various roles in this life.

Hymns serve to explain doctrines, while Psalms provide a spiritual application of those doctrines for our benefit. Through the unity of these doctrines, we are able to offer effusive praise to God and experience His power. By applying God's gifts, we are guided on the path to success and salvation. As we strive for unity with God, our passion and spiritual value increase, leading us to continually reach for greater heights. Each victory we achieve brings us closer to eternity and a deeper understanding of God's glory.

What tangible benefits do we achieve as proof of our spiritual accomplishments in this existence? We obtain minimal plausible importance within this deceptive realm. We are sacrificing the worth of our current life for a significantly more substantial recompense in the subsequent one. How can we diminish our desires for opulence and instead embrace the abundant blessings of Christ? We must be guided and led by the teachings of scripture and the Holy Spirit. We must comprehend the superior value of one aspect over the other. We must recognize how worldly success is a hindrance and impediment for individuals. We must decrease our attachment to worldly possessions by actively suppressing and diminishing their influence.

The profound satisfaction found in our spiritual essence far surpasses any gratification derived from worldly pursuits. We are inherently driven to transcend the limitations imposed upon us by societal norms, recognizing our innate capacity for greatness. As ambassadors of divine authority, we possess a profound understanding of our purpose as servants. It is through acknowledging God's rightful dominion over all aspects of existence that we attain true freedom and are empowered to achieve success, steadfastly devoted to serving only one master. Ultimately, we triumph by placing our unwavering confidence solely in the divine.
