My dear brothers and sisters in Christ, it is time to become better Christians and doers of God’s word by exemplifying God’s love for us in our thoughts, words and actions daily and by loving others as God loves us. So, let us focus more on God’s commandments and center our hearts not just on the laws or on our self-glorification which nullifies our good acts, rather, let concentrate on God, and on our love for Him and our neighbors.
