The work of the apostle

(3) The work of the apostle

The apostles do not have a virtuous deed or contribution. It's really your achievement, but it's not easy to make it so that you don't hesitate to think so. Paul claims that he can only boast of his own weaknesses, and everything else is God's grace. If there is something good in you, it is only the grace and gift of God, and you can not think of it as something from yourself.

Of course, the merits and rewards of the Bible and theology come out. But if you listen carefully to the explanation of the Father and theologians, everything is the grace of God in the end. People cannot do anything without the grace of God. Being an apostle starts with living deep in this reality. While still thinking that you are someone, in order to be an apostle, you must be particularly cleansed from this thought. But this cleansing does not mean how to hold the mind or feelings. It is an idealistic way of mind to strive not to think that you are a person who is who you are or to think so.

That's not what it means. It is more real. When a person tackles with the problem of the reality of his life, the other party's reality gradually fills the person, and the person is no longer stuck with his feelings and preferences.

It is said that this is purified.
The person may not understand this, misunderstand, and may feel quite lonely in the reality of breaking their hopes and dreams.

But this is an illusion. People are cleaned by the reality given by God. The reality of love given by God to people, especially the nearest person and the smallest person are friends, and there is a love that has been cleaned up for giving up life for that person. It does not mean that you purposely choose a path that does not suit your desires and preferences. In most cases, it is sensible that the mind is involved in it and the life passes somehow unexpectedly.
