(:Following Christ's appearance on earth man is bound to love God am His new order with ell his heart and mind and soul, end to submit volunter4ily to His discipline, in order to become a real man of God. Man's earthly life passes quickly away but the eternal life abides forever.:)

Whatever divine sanction there is in human establishments, it applies to the earthly, temporal life. The new law, introduced by the Son of God applies to the earthly things very little, and sometimes not at all. Its applications to earthly things are:

And if they take by violence your goods, rejoice believing that they are not lost, for in heaven you will find worthier goods than the temporal (ones you lost).

Christ's new order leaves man with the hope in God, so that, throwing all his cares to God, he would not sin for temporal goods, believing that to take care of one's neighbor is much more important. 1-Tim. 6:8.

Matt. 5:40.
