Orthodoxy 101: Session 6
from The Word at Christ the Savior Hosted by Christ the Savior American Coptic Orthodox Church
What is the purpose of life? The early Church Fathers answered this question by determining the very purpose of God’s incarnation. They teach us that God became man that man may become god; we also learn from Scriptures that through His Grace we may be partakers of the divine nature (2 Peter 1:4). Orthodoxy teaches us that salvation is theosis. But what does that really mean? That means a process of becoming, by God’s Grace, all that He is by nature. The purpose of our life is then a question of how one can assimilate to the life of Christ, a life of virtue. Fr.
