Salvation requires work. It can only be accomplished through effort, and this is what the Gospel is all about.
All human life is sacred and created by God and therefore, we must see all human life as significant and valuable. When governments implement the death penalty, then the life of the convicted person is devalued and all possibility of change in that person’s life ends.
Every person needs the Church for spiritual and emotional care that enables to reconcile relations with God, with others, and with self.
