For In Him…
Scripture Reference: Acts 17:28
“For in Him we live and move and have our being…”
Paul the Apostle is speaking open air on Mars Hill to those in Athens. The people of Athens were very much into Idolatry, worshiping Greek Gods that they made from their own hands. Seeing that they had an alter with an inscription that read “To The Unknown God,” Acts 17:23 Paul began to preach the Cross of Christ.
When I was four or five years old, my father bought me a skate board. for the longest time I rode that skate board on my my knee’s, because every time I stood up on it I would fall down and hurt myself. In time I learned to balance myself with my body in tune with the momentum of the skate board. To do this you would have to keep moving Forward.
So, it is with the Christian Life. We must balance our lives and keep moving forward and growing in Him in order to reach your highest plane and his plan for your life.
That is why Paul said,
“For in Him we live and move and have our being…”
.These Gifts are placed in the soul as a germ they are as it were in.their infancy and the Christian must develop them through fervent.prayer and the practice of virtue through the worthy reception of Holy.Communion and devout assistance at Holy Mass in order that they may.produce fruit. Understanding is that.Gift.of the Holy Spirit which enables us to comprehend the mysteries and.doctrines of our holy religion. By the Gift.of.Knowledge the Holy Spirit enlightens us with an inner light that we.may know ourselves and discern the snares of self-love of our.passions of the devil and of the world and may choose the fittest.means to overcome them.
