BEING ON EARTH BINDS & DEFINES
Faith in God, alone, will not exempt us from earth's hurts, pains, sins, sufferings or death. Faith will afford us a modicum of comfort and care in the midst of these earthly tribulations.
Faith in God, alone, will not guarantee us earth's pleasures, well-being, righteousness, fulfillment nor eternal life. Faith will spiritually insulate by reducing, explaining, and contextualizing all of the discomfort and distress that we must bear in the midst these earthly blessings .
Faith stabilizes, energizes, and with work and grace, actualizes.
Even so, adherents of any faith are as amenable to earth's laws, being as susceptible as other persons who claims no faith to all the laws of earth or on earth, without exception of any nature!
Being on earth binds, defines us.
