Believers live with their good conscience. A person who doesn’t live by his good conscience is actually nothing more than corpse. It is impossible for such a person to have meaningful eyes. It is ungratefulness what hurts people the most and what makes them take a dislike to one another. Believers should constantly behave conscientiously and fiercely avoid ungratefulness and selfishness.

Loving such a person is a great blessing. To experience love both sides should submit to God and should be freed from egoism.
