We can learn from Augustine the importance of the real relationship with God and the necessity of the Church. Augustine was living in times when the world was becoming Christian. He became one of them after he realized he had no other hope and trust then in Jesus Christ. He learned to be a good Christian by being united with God as an individual in tradition, to have faith in him. He believed to be close to God you must have a conversation between two spirits and belong to the church.
We should establish a right relationship with God then everything even the bad things will be forgiven. Augustine was saying about love to God cannot exist on its own because is not a thing. God can not be love unless there is something for him to love. If we are to love ourselves, our neighbors, God we have to stick together like our minds possess memory, the intellect cannot be separated like evidence of our Creator and his creation. As well we can learn about the purpose of the Universe, why God created Adam and Eva, we can be confused but we can be confident that there is a purpose in God’s plan that will be revealed one day to us.
As a Christian’s we walk through our personal lives in a journey by faith. Augustine believed the relationship with God is not just seating and let the events happen but living own lives and including him in it on day to day basis. Until today in Christianity we use the doctrine from the day you born to your death; every moment belongs to God, even if we are not believers.
Augustine learned much through his life’s lessons. In order to become the devout Christian he turned out to be, he needed to explore different faiths to fully understand and appreciate Christianity. As a young child, he was raised as a Christian, but had many doubts which caused him to lose faith. His quest for the truth led him to be a sinner, making many mistakes, which ultimately taught him forgiveness. These lessons helped him to truly appreciate and understand Christianity, and he returned to the faith in which he was raised. Augustine had to learn that it wasn’t so much about the path that he had taken, but more importantly where it had led him.
