The Law of Oppositeness
Revelationas 2:7
It is unattainable to have a life devoid of combat, whether in the natural or supernatural domain. Undoubtedly, there exists an ongoing battle in several aspects of human existence, including the physical, mental, moral, and spiritual domains.
Health is the equilibrium between the physiological components of my body and the various factors and influences in my environment. In order to preserve optimal well-being, it is imperative that I possess an ample amount of internal fortitude to combat external factors. All external aspects of my existence are intentionally crafted to bring about my demise. The essential components that support my existence also contribute to the decomposition and breakdown of my physical form after death. My ability to resist and combat challenges contributes to the equilibrium necessary for good health. This also applies to the cognitive aspects of human experience. To preserve a robust and dynamic mental life, I must engage in constant struggle. This endeavor yields the cognitive equilibrium known as thought.
From a moral standpoint, it is same. Anything that fails to enhance my moral character is considered an adversary to the virtue that resides inside me. The extent to which I achieve moral perfection in my life determines whether I am able to overcome challenges and cultivate virtue. However, it is imperative that we strive to uphold moral principles. Morality is not a random occurrence; it is obtained via the acquisition of moral virtue.
And it is equally true on a spiritual level. Jesus proclaimed, "In the realm of existence, you will encounter distress and suffering..." (John 16:33). Consequently, anything that lacks spirituality results in my decline. Jesus proceeded to declare, "...however, take heart, for I have triumphed over the world." I must acquire the skills and strategies to combat and triumph over the obstacles that confront me, thereby fostering a state of equilibrium characterized by moral purity. Encountering opposition becomes a source of pleasure.
Holiness is the harmonious equilibrium between my inherent disposition and the divine principles established by God, as shown through Jesus Christ.
