“Three things are necessary for the salvation of man: to know what he ought to believe; to know what he ought to desire; and to know what he ought to do.” May we always believe in and desire the Truth and live it out in our lives! Happy feast day of St. Thomas Aquinas!
And I, when I came to you, brothers, did not come proclaiming to you the testimony of God with lofty speech or wisdom.
For I decided to know nothing among you except Jesus Christ and him crucified.
-- 1 Corinthians 2:1-2
“Three things are necessary for the salvation of man: to know what he ought to believe; to know what he ought to desire; and to know what he ought to do.”
There are plenty of people who know what to believe, who know what to desire, and know what to do, yet they reject it. (Mark 10:17-22)
There is only one thing necessary for salvation, “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved...” (Acts 16:31)
