Disputes about sin: Novatian and the moral life
Disputes
For Novatian, the Spirit of Jesus, welcomed by the humble and docile heart of the believer, brings about the flourishing of moral life and the witness of holiness amid vocations, gifts and responsibilities.
The Lord’s grace is the source of every true gift to serve our brothers and sisters and administer creation, to follow the commandment of love and perfection.
The awareness of having received the gift generates and sustains the free and responsible response of a full love for God and the brethren.
