In this reflection, we explore how many people misunderstand God’s commandments, seeing them only as restrictions, when in fact they are given out of love for our salvation. The world — influenced by the enemy — often inverts the truth, making faith look like a burden instead of the path to freedom and joy.

Drawing on the Gospel of John and the writings of St. Paul, this message shows how the commandments are not condemnation, but an invitation to grace, mercy, and eternal life. We are reminded that Christ came not to condemn the world but to save it, and that our lives, though marked with struggles and crosses, are gifts meant to bring us closer to God.

St. Paul reminds us that faith is not about external signs, but about becoming a new creation in Christ. His own sufferings and scars became his true “circumcision” — marks of his union with Christ’s cross. Likewise, we are called to carry our daily crosses with joy, practicing virtue, sharing mercy, and witnessing to the truth of the Gospel.

🙏 Key Themes:

The commandments as life-giving, not restrictive

The devil’s inversion of truth and temptation

God’s mercy as greater than our sins

St. Paul and the “circumcision party”

Suffering with Christ and the joy of the cross

✨ Whether you are struggling with guilt, searching for hope, or seeking deeper understanding of God’s love, this reflection will remind you that life itself is a gift from God, and that our salvation rests not in rules, but in the mercy of Jesus Christ.
