The acceptance of Christ sometimes causes quarrels in families, for the light of God struggles against darkness, love opposes hatred, and the truth is hard against lying. Thus the peace of God must bring war where peace and not war is desired, and Christ’s humility suffers from the haughtiness of the world. When the Holy Spirit, heavenly light dwells in a man’s heart, this man becomes strange to this world, and worthy of the kingdom of God. He that is sanctified in Christ is not he who struggles against his neighbors. But the family hates the member who was born again of the Spirit of God, and hurts him. Yet, these sufferings for Christ’s sake purify your faith, refine your love, and cleanse your hope, for the Lord himself stands by you, partakes of your suffering, and bears with you your contempt and afflictions. Having accepted you in the family of God, he cares for you. This faith does not signify abolition of the Ten Commandments, but we have to honor our father and our mother, love them, serve them more than before, and surround them with our prayers, as a faithful daughter said: "My father loves me because of my pure behavior. He hates me because of my Christian faith. But he curses my brother because of his corrupt behavior, and loves him because of his old faith. Therefore, I am thoroughly careful to continue in the holiness of life lest my parents find a reason for complaining against me, so that the love of Christ in me may become the testimony of my faith.
