“'The long-suffering man abounds in understanding' (Prov. 14:29), because he endures everything to the end and, while awaiting that end, patiently bears his distress. The end, as St. Paul says, is everlasting life (cf. Rom. 6:22). 'And this is eternal life, that they might know You the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent' (Jn. 17:3).” KnowsMenLongEndsMightChristianSufferingJesusUnderstandingChristBearsEternalJesus ChristEndureOrthodoxDistressEverlastingEternal LifeOrthodox ChristianCfsTrue GodLong SufferingEverlasting Life Author:Maximus the Confessor
“John declared that "Christ received not of the fulness at the first," but that he "continued from grace to grace until he received a fulnesss and thus he was called the Son of God, because he received not of the fulness at the first." Thus is it with us all. We must work out our salvation and exaltation by coming to this earth. Man must be born into mortality and live and die that he may continue in his progress toward eternal life and exaltation.” MenLifeFirstsMayEarthDiesChristBornGraceProgressSonEternalSalvationWork OutMortalityEternal LifeExaltation Author:Alma P Burton
“If you have eternal life at all, it simply means that you have the Son, Jesus Christ NOW! Eternal life is not a peculiar feeling inside! It is not your ultimate destination, to which you will go when you are dead. If you are born again, eternal life is that quality of life that you possess right now, at this very moment, in your own physical body, with your own two feet on the ground, and in the world TODAY! And where does this life come from? Of Him! He is that life! So if you have eternal life, it means that you have Somebody, Jesus Christ, and the life that you possess is of Him.” IfsWorldMeanDoeTwoMomentsFeelingsBodyTodayLife IsJesusChristBornQualityFeetSonRight NowEternalJesus ChristUltimateThis LifeDestinationPeculiarQuality Of LifeEternal LifeWorld TodayBorn AgainPhysical BodyFeet On The Ground Author:W.

“The East is unfamiliar with those confessions, memoirs, and autobiographies so beloved in the West. There is a clear difference in tonality. One's gaze never lingers on the suffering humanity of Christ, but penetrates behind the kenotic veil. To the West's mysticism of the Cross and its veneration of the Sacred Heart corresponds the eastern mysticism of the sealed tomb, from which eternal life eternal wells up.” WellsHeartSufferingHumanityChristDifferencesBehindsClearEternalCrossesSacredWestEastMemoirBelovedMysticismConfessionAutobiographyEasternVeilsPenetrateEternal LifeTombsUnfamiliarVenerationSacred Heart Author:Paul Evdokimov
