Though we became full members of His kingdom by virtue of Christ's sufferings, death and resurrection, eternal life is still not assured even to one who claims to have known Christ. For if you have not love your neighbor as you love yourself you are not worthy of His Kingdom.

Knowing Christ means we live and do as He did in our words, thoughts and deeds which is next to impossible. That is why God sent us the Holy Spirit to guide us, inspire us, and strengthen us that we may learn to live as His Son did.

May the Holy Spirit enlighten our hearts in Jesus' name.

Amen.
