A house needs a foundation.
A house needs structural support.
A house needs a roof of shelter from harsh conditions.
Think of the different prayer methods of Islam, Judaism, and Christianity.
Muslims pray by kneeling in reverence, bowing down before God. Submitting to God's will. (A foundation in finding God in self).
Jews pray towards the wall, in reverence to God. Judaism builds on the foundation, which God gave the law to Moses for the Chosen People of God to use as a guide of upright living and for structure. (A wall being structurally sound, built on an immovable foundation).
Christians praise God for sending Salvation to God's Anointed, looking to the heavens. The Salvation of God provides shelter from all evil. (As this sheltering roof is constructed on walls providing stability, which the stability is rooted upon the foundation of the Most High).
Submission to God, the Spirit of Love living and working inside of you, is to be shown to others in your day to day lives, is your foundation. The Law of God, Law of Love, provides structure on how to live upright daily, so that you do not show hateful or deceitful acts towards yourself or others. Salvation gives shelter because you have examples to live through practically applying the examples to your life by allowing The Salvation of Love to reign supreme over your conduct, your mind, and your spirit; and not comparing the progress of yourself with the progress of others. Shelter keeps you safe from natural disasters (preventing hateful acts from causing disaster to your Spirit of Love); giving you peace in God (Peace in Love and in showing Love) to neutralize and eliminate a threat to your being and the Spirit living within you. This peace comes from your faith in God (Love), but faith alone produces nothing. You must work to stop the threat against the Divine Spirit living within you; whether verbal or physical threats against you. Inaction towards a threat against your Divine Spirit is suicide because you have taken no action in your faith to fight in the name of your spiritual beliefs of Love.
Always remember, not all people are God's Chosen People (People of Love); so do not be so foolish as to believe all people, who claim to love themselves and others, actually live according to their beliefs by Showing Love to themselves and others. Look how others treat people and you will see if they are of Love.
Protect the Spirit of Love, living in you, from any and every person who attempts evil to you or other People of Love.
