“Learned arguments do not make a man holy and righteous, whereas a good
life makes him dear to God.” ― The Imitation of Christ by Thomas A Kempis.
In today’s world the biggest arguments we hear is
about religion and many religion claim that they are superior than others and
this cannot be proven until and unless we possess four main qualities of God.
Love
No matter which religion or denomination we belong
first and foremost we have to have greatest quality of God that is Love.
Without having love if we claim we are the best then it is as good as making fool
out of ourselves in front of others. When we are having love we will be kind to
others and also we will be patient with them.
Mercy
Secondly if we do not possess the quality of God
that is mercy then we cannot prove ourselves as best. If we and all people belonging to our religion
or denomination have not grown in mercy then surely we first have to grow in it
and then teach others belonging to our religion or denomination the same. God
desires mercy as He has said Be merciful as I am merciful.
Peace
Thirdly God is lover of peace and if the religion or
the denomination we belong do not cultivate peace among ourselves then surely
we have not reached to the best but we are still work in progress .We first
have to strive to make peace with God and then we have to make peace with
everyone around us and When all belonging to our religion or denomination practice
peace then we can say boldly that we are the best.
Forgiveness
Fourthly God is forgiving unconditionally and if we
chose to forgive others unconditionally then we will be imitating God or else
its showing that we have not grown in it. Those who do not grow in forgiveness
cannot reach height of faith but they will be having crisis in faith all their
life.
Let us check our community and see whether all who
belong there have fully grown in these four important qualities of God or else
let us focus on our self first and grow in these 4 qualities and then teach
others in our community the same.
Let us not point fingers at any religion or
denominations before making our community perfect. Let us strive in our community
to build it for the glory of God and never be a part of any group which is
breaking the church into pieces. God is always for Unity and devil is always
for division.
We have to understand that judgement is not
depending on which religion you belong or which denomination you belong but
surely on how we worked in our life towards good.
