Augustine's "The City of God" and his consolation

Hello! Augustine wrote a book called "The City of God" to comfort Christians who were being persecuted at the time. He said that there are two cities: the City of God and the City of Man. Christians belong to the City of God, and even though they might suffer in this life, they will find peace and joy in the afterlife. Augustine also said that God is in control of everything, including the suffering that Christians go through, and that it can be used to help them grow in their faith. In summary, Augustine wanted Christians to remember that their true home is with God, and to trust that He is in control of their lives.
