4. IS THE PERFECT LOVE

5. Love of God is the perfect love
“Our needs are not all physical in the primary
sense. The human need for affection cannot
be satisfied by things.”
- St.Agustine
“When the will “ ,says Augustine cleaves
to the immutable good .. Man finds
therein the blessed life “for to live well is
nothing else but to love God.”

6. Man and

7. God has given man a free will.
This is for man to choose freely
whatever actions he would do.
A person must have the help of
God's grace. Whereas evil is
caused by an act of free will ,
virtue on the other hand is
product of Gods grace .

8. “Man is gifted with free will by God. ”God has
wonderfully gifted me with a free will. This free
will defines my nature and my destiny. If I freely
choose to do evil as harming others, I destroy
my nature and depart my self from God. But if I
freely choose to do good things, I let God’s will
happen in me. I am created free because Gods
wants me to live my life according to my own
decision; God requires me to be responsible for
my life. What God generally desires from me is
Love and service freely given back to him.
