  Comment:

  How does one follow Him? - Listen to what the Saviour Himself says about this: "If any man want to follow Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me."

  The words " any man who wills" mean that Jesus Christ does not force anyone to follow Him. He does not want captives; He wants each person to decide freely whether he wants to follow His way and be with Him. Consequently, only those who have voluntarily chosen the path shown by the Saviour enter the Kingdom of Heaven.

  St John Chrysostom says: "God does not force anyone. And if He wants and we do not want, our salvation is impossible."

  St Macarius the Great expresses the same doctrine of human freedom: "human nature is capable of accepting both good and evil, divine Grace and contrary power, but it cannot be forced to do so...". Without the consent of the human will, God Himself does not work anything in man because of the freedom with which man is endowed".
