The School of Life

We are all different, not only in our faith, but also in many other human qualities: abilities, talent, beauty, health, and sorrow. Throughout life, diverse and complex relationships develop between all these people, leading to the necessity of performing certain actions and making choices. Often, to carry out a decision, people must sacrifice something of their own, or, by choosing material or other benefits, inflict harm or offense on another person, suppressing their conscience given to us by God. All of this ultimately influences the formation of a person. By understanding these relationships, a person changes themselves, acquiring good or evil, bad or good spiritual qualities.

God gave man the right to choose, and man makes his own choices, and therefore bears responsibility before God for everything. God, through conscience and the concept of justice, always lets a person know when they are acting righteously or committing a sin. The school of life on earth, created by God for people, is aimed not only at the development of their positive spiritual qualities, but the main outcome of everything is the formation of faith and being born again. The guidance and participation of God Christ in this school of life is God's work.

However, in this school, learning and development through overcoming various situations differs from a regular school in that if you knew who would fail the exams in the future and excluded them from the school, the school itself would not be able to EXIST, since all life situations (subjects, lessons) are created jointly by all students: those who will pass the exams and those who will not. God creates all people equal in their right to choose between good and evil, in their choice of faith, but different in everything else, in order to choose those who will choose His Word of God - Christ.

In the school of life, there are many subjects of study and practical exercises, providing choices in specially designed situations with varying degrees of difficulty. The point is that the intended situations (practical lessons), the formation of character, spiritual qualities, love for people, and much more arise only through the JOINT existence of all people, both those who will become believers and those who will not.

God creates nothing in vain. God knew that Adam and Eve would not believe Him, but would believe the devil; He knew that they would not repent, and therefore would go to hell, yet He still created them. Similarly, other people, about whom God knows that they will be unbelievers, just like Adam and Eve, are created by God not in vain, but for a specific purpose, necessary for the spiritual rebirth of others. God allows their birth for this reason. And in this lies His justice towards every person who is born. Glory be to God for everything!

Note: According to the survival program for all living things on earth: animals, plants, and humans (if they are not guided by conscience and the Word of God) always choose in favor of their own existence. God selects for life with Him in eternity only those who, in their choices and actions, are guided by the Word of God, who believe in God and fulfill His Word. From the beginning of the lives of the first people on earth, God's division for them began with Adam and Eve. Being in which camp—with God or not with Him—is a voluntary matter for people.

Abel, who had no nationality, was the first to choose God and became the first Christian on earth; Christianity began with him and later passed on to Abraham. Unfortunately, Abraham and his descendants did not become priests of God, nor did they become preachers of the faith they possessed in the living God, although God spoke to them about this. God created people not so that only Adam and Eve would live in paradise, but so that there would be significantly more of them. Therefore, God gave Adam and Eve reproductive organs, giving them the opportunity to fulfill God's will to have as many people on earth as possible, both believers and non-believers, while setting a certain number for believers, determined by the Heavenly Father.

If for Adam and Eve it was sufficient to test their faith simply by not eating the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, then such a condition, or something similar, would not be possible for hundreds of thousands or millions of people, whose number was determined by the Heavenly Father, to become believers on earth. The life of a large number of people requires a certain production of food and other means of subsistence, which entails the development of means of production and, accordingly, production and moral relations between people.

All this changes qualitatively over time, increases and becomes more complex, and leads to the fact that only under these conditions is it truly possible for people to make choices about their actions. This is a school of life for people on earth, and the choice of one action or another is not always made according to conscience, and for those who do make choices according to conscience, it often does not happen without bloodshed. Such is life on earth, created by God, but shaped by people, since God gave man the right to choose his own actions.
