God, the Safe Foundation for Life

In Jesus, the Pain, and the Origin of His Authority – The Power of Christ Within Us (2014), I point out that God is the Highest Foundation on which Jesus, the Master of masters, with His Authority, advises us in the New Testament (Luke 6:47-48) to build our solid dwelling: 

47 As for everyone who comes to me and hears my words and puts them into practice, I will show you what they are like. 

48 They are like a man building a house, who dug down deep and laid the foundation on a rock. When a flood came, the torrent struck that house but could not shake it, because it was well built.

Only then will we be able to cope with the spiritual, moral, and physical tsunamis, floods, volcanoes, earthquakes, that is, cope with everything by counting on the True Power of the Sublime Ruler of the Earth. 

Human beings’ greatest capital is their Accomplishing Faith and their unbeatable spirit when faced with the afflictions that still torment nations. To those who seek to anchor their lives in this sublime, safe harbor, I say, quite eloquently, that there is a Man at the helm: Jesus!

Therefore, let us dare to build the Home of God in the Souls, and the Supreme Creator will turn us into steady pillars of a more auspicious future:

12 The one who is victorious I will make a pillar in the Temple of my God. Never again will they leave it. I will write on them the name of my God and the name of the city of my God, the New Jerusalem, which is coming down out of Heaven from my God; and I will also write on them my new name.

13 Whoever has ears, let them hear what the Spirit says to the churches.  (Letter from Jesus to the Church in Philadelphia, in the Apocalypse 3:12-13)

José de Paiva Netto (1941-2025), a writer, journalist, radio broadcaster, educator, composer, poet, the President Emeritus and Consolidator of the Legion of Good Will, and Spiritual Leader of the Religion of God, of the Christ, and of the Holy Spirit. He was an effective member of the Brazilian Press Association (ABI) and the Brazilian International Press Association (ABI-Inter), a member of the National Federation of Journalists (FENAJ), the International Federation of Journalists (IFJ), the Union of Professional Journalists of the State of Rio de Janeiro, the Union of Writers of Rio de Janeiro, the Radio Broadcasters Union of Rio de Janeiro, the Brazilian Union of Composers (UBC), and the Academy of Letters of Central Brazil. He became an internationally recognized author in the defense of human rights and in his concepts of Ecumenical Citizenship and Ecumenical Spirituality, which, in his own words, represent “the cradle of the most generous values that are born of the Soul, the dwelling of emotions and of reasoning enlightened by intuition; the atmosphere that embraces everything that transcends the ordinary field of matter and comes from elevated human sensitivity, such as Truth, Justice, Mercy, Ethics, Honesty, Generosity, and Fraternal Love. In short, the mathematical constant that harmonizes the equation of spiritual, moral, mental, and human existence. Now, without the understanding that we exist on two planes―not only on the physical plane―it will be difficult to build a Society that is truly Ecumenical, Altruistic, and Solidary, since we would still be ignoring that the knowledge of Superior Spirituality elevates the character of creatures and, consequently, leads to the construction of the Planetary Citizenship.”
