Christianity is Obedience of Love (Jn 14:15-21)

About this episode

The episode discusses the concept of Christianity as a union of love and obedience to God's commands through the church and its sacraments.

Christianity is not about following rules so that we can get to heaven. Salvation is because God has come to us and offered us a way to join ourselves to him who lives forever. It is a union of love mediated through the church and its sacraments in which he is truly present offering himself to us. Then by his power we obey his commands and we are formed to become like him when we love.
