By accidentally opening any page of this book we feel safe, serenity, but also our hearts to ignite with a desire to come closer to the Son of God which is the only way to be united with the Father.

Reading the book "The Road to Deification" we realize that all we have to do is believe that the Lord is the Resurrection and the Life., the Source of Life.

Reading this book we believe more, our mind sinks into our heart and focuses on the Builder and not on the buildings. Then we realize that our life is full of joy and peace.

True joy and serenity come from the satisfaction of our soul and our soul is satisfied only when the heart and the mind are focused on our Creator..

This gives us the present book: satisfies our soul, whichever page we open, no matter how many words we read, it passes through the Grace of the Lord, brings us closer to Him, it fills us with joy and hope.

This book is based on the Bible, and in the words of the holy Fathers of our Orthodox faith and the clergy who have read it say that it contains everything.

Written in a way that when you start it you don't want to leave, because it gives you everything, brings you closer to the Source of Everything, the Triune God.

The book gives you what the reader has to say: “Through the book's writers, I experience the attraction and desire to get closer to the Son of God.. I feel that I have the opportunity to believe more and more in His understanding and existence every day. "!

Book preface by Archimandrite Arsenios Kotsopoulos.

The path to deification is the only path that has the true and only perspective of man in front of it and illuminates all aspects and functions in the difficult paths of our daily lives..

My chosen and beloved Alexis Fotopoulos through this pain of his, referring to the divine words of our Savior Jesus Christ and our holy fathers, until today, It emphasizes our unique and, of course, eternal perspective, ὁ ἔποία ἔρχεται νά ἱεροποιήσει, make use of and re-baptize all roles, where each of us will dress in this temporary world of ours.

Στό ἔργο τοῦ Ὁμήρου, The great and great world poet and father of literature from the ancient times has come to emphasize this enormous power that the perspective within us emphasizes.. The mythical Penelope with the tabernacle of her weaver, ἐνῶ δέν παράγει ἔργο, it produces perspective - and that is enough. It does not produce "anything" but it produces everything.

Ἐξελικτικά, through this simple and humble long-term work of hers, achieves the perspective for which man was originally created, where there is no other than the society of love, the share in the love of the Lord, its unity with the worthy, και ἔτσι καταργεῖται ὁ θάνατος (extermination of suitors).

Σέ κόσμοναν κόσμο που ἀναζητᾶ αἰσιοδοξία, lost in the narrow roles of the roads that lead nowhere, Ἀλέξη Φωτόπουλος ἔρχεται, with his rich work, from his own cradle, to lead souls to our Christ, in order to share the perspective on which we were made, which is no other than our likeness to our Creator, through our great love and gratitude to Him who gave us not only his life but also all this beautiful property of his., the visible and invisible creation.

I wish God to travel and spread this profound and godly work of His quickly..

With love

What does the book give us according to the Hieromonk Ambrosios treasurer of the Holy Monastery of the Great Lavra of Mount Athos

"Your book" The road to THEOSIS "shows p’ he who reads what God really wants from us and how his salvation is achieved. It shows that God only wants our will and our heart to be united with Him and everything else He gives us..

God does not want our virtues, he wants only our trust and our love for Him. It is a spiritual book, not a moral one. To those who rely on their virtues, they will not find it useful at all. I wish you well and that you remind us in your prayers. Pi. Ambrosios ». (Hieromonk Ambrosios treasurer of the Holy Monastery of Megisti Lavra, Mount Athos)

Critique of the book by the psychiatrist Psychotherapist Nikolaos Stamatakis.

Blessed, You are worthy and cute, brother Alexis Fotopoulos, that you gave us, that you shared with us your excess of heart and spirit, your own way to Deification, who is none other than that of our saints.

Blessed and graceful you too, search readers, you were called to communicate these "unspoken" verbs. It is no coincidence that this book is in your hands, able to transform and transform your life, paving the way for eternity.

If you still have doubts about divine providence, who gave you this experience here, unless you start with humility, respect, recognition, acceptance and thanks do not continue. You will get tired for no reason, you will benefit little. "God caresses me" (God does not play). We do not explore the sacred and the sacred without reverence and innocence!

But you will tell me that our fallen nature is the one that brings this division within us, the double tongue and attitude and turn to good and evil, truth and falsehood, mind and heart, the ego and us, health and disease, faith and disbelief, acceptance and denial, humility and selfishness, lighting and dimming, the holy and the satanic.

Consequently, Yes, no one intact, no one inseparable from perishability, of lying, of self-deception, of his self-betrayal, of self-decline, of passivity, of inaction and resignation, of frustration, of the impact.

In such confusion, confusion, deadlock, forged shielding of the individual, nourished by the prevailing ethos in our deluded culture and interacts on a personal and collective level, we are called to open and this book that is the Bible of life, full of disbelief, fears, rationalization, various defenses of so insignificant, our vulnerable and weak ego, where it is fortified in an omnipotence of omniscience, pseudo-security, and denial!

As a psychotherapist, I see these defenses and resistances every day to any substantial change of attitude, for treatment, for health, for completion. The same resistances haunt us in every spiritual progress. But the game, as mentioned in this book, it is not played in the mind but in the heart from which we have been cut off!

It is not played on the felt, but in the hypersensitive, not in the material but in the spiritual. And to get there we want tools, proper preparation, awareness, heart failure and opening.

How; In this book you will find many ways and means and exercises, which the patriarchal experience of the author and our saints show. One thing is for sure: only when Grace visits us, the heart opens, to fully accept. But even this pain often, that crushes the omnipotence of false ego and becomes prayer and surrender opens the heart.

I confess that I personally, while I was called some time ago to study the book of my friend Alexis Fotopoulou, but both because of its volume and because of my own mental dryness I was reluctant to deepen it..

I had to go through a trial and a mental pain to resort to it and only then did it open up to me and inform my heart., which sucked it like a gargle of cool water. I want to share this experience and this lesson with you and nothing else.

You stopped devouring knowledge, without content, without substance, without the spirit of God where you will rebuild them in the next step, in the next book. They distort you even further. You still need so much to be convinced; How much; A lifetime; You will catch up; "It simply came to our notice then, behold, now is the day of salvation.. The truth resides in the heart, it is enough for her to open it and for Harry to visit her.

Alexis Fotopoulos uses speech, not to convince us - in the spiritual dimension there is no compulsion but only Freedom- but to demobilize the self-reliant mind, since even when man discovers and smells the greatness of the divine intellect which he embodies in the heart and comes as an inner feeling, information, experience, Thanks to and is the ultimate heavenly gift!

The sooner we give up mindfulness the better. This conveys every page of this book as a belief and truth, capable of leading to that inward alteration that will pave the way for Grace.

This book, next to the Bible, personally, is my food every day, to remind me of the discount and deviation and failure but also of the divine destination and to harmonize me in my center and in my relationship with our Lord.

Blessed are those who suck it up abundantly, but also those who are satisfied with a few pages every day will have a lot to gain.

Every time I opened it I accidentally got an answer. As long as you can stand it, it is enough to be left in the sculpture of the divine meanings, which over time will bring about a total misinterpretation (and fortunately).

Indulge and travel to this pro-Cretan palace, as long as you honor the food received with all your being and then the joy remains transform faces, your beings and your experience.

Wishing and praying for the common coexistence of all of us on the road to Deification.

EXCERPTS FROM THE BOOK:

«ἐγώ εἰμι ὁ ὁδὸς καὶ ἡ ἀλήθεια καὶ ἡ ζωή ». This sentence includes the meaning of the whole book, the whole meaning of life, the whole meaning of the world. The Lord is the only way, the only truth, the only Source of life but also of Eternal Life.

Theosis, which is the purpose of our lives, it is the manifestation of God in the pure heart of man, then we have a view of God, We know him, we are immersed in His love, our nature is completely transformed and we become like Him, become by Grace gods. Man has been created in the image of God, The image of God is the Godman Jesus Christ.

As long as we are in the picture, if we do not find our Original image and do not unite with Her we cannot be "saved", that is, complete, uncut, immortal, for the Lord is the Source of life and even of eternal life.

Deification is the Kingdom of God, is to receive the Grace of the Holy Spirit. It is to become saints, according to Harin gods. Deification, it means participating in the glory of God, view of God, of His Grace, of His uncreated light. Deification is not just a union but, secret union of God and man in the Holy Spirit. With Deification man is required to see God.

And this Deification is not an abstract situation, but the union of man with God. That is, man considering the uncreated Light, he sees it because he is united with God, he sees it with his inner eyes and even with these physical eyes, who have been transformed by the energy of God.

We are all children of God waiting for us all, like the Father the prodigal son, to unite with Him. God creates us, he loves us all,and what to do, even when we grieve Him with our selfish behavior. He sends the Word of God, Who creates "everything", maintains "everything" and connects "everything". Jesus Christ is our Savior, the Source of Everything. God's love for His radiant actions preserves and animates "everything".

Jesus Christ draws us to look like Him, to achieve it by image and likeness. Us leads to the adoption of becoming all-powerful children of God, like our Father. The Son and Word of God speaks to the Father: "I want Father where I am to be them too".

This means Deification, to unite with the Triune God (we are united only with the Human nature of the Godman Jesus Christ). Our destination is Theosis, and is achieved by the Grace of God, by obedience to Him and not selfishly. The struggle for self-sacrifice leads to darkness, as was the case with Adam and the devil.

His soul in the image and likeness of God, created man, longs for God and longs for union with Him. No matter how moral and good a person is, no matter how many good deeds he does, if he does not find God, of Whom is in the image of His image (The image of God is the Godman Jesus Christ) unless he is united with Him, he is not resting. Because God himself put in him the divine love and the desire for union with Him, Theosis.

God is revealed as a Being and as a multifaceted Being. Christ, the creator, God comes to us in our flesh in the same form of existence that He Himself creates for us.. Made from scratch, Coming from the earth we are incapable of knowing God, without Himself being revealed to us.

The whole purpose of our Creation is our union with the Triune God, through Jesus Christ, "In the Holy Spirit". Then we are "finished", when through Jesus Christ we are united with "everything", we feel the "everything".

«Καὶ ἐγὼ τὴν δόξαν ἣν δέδωκάς μοι δέδωκα αὐτοῖς, ἵνα ὦσιν ἓν καθὼς ἡμεῖς ἕν ἐσμεν, ἐγὼ ἐν αὐτοῖς καὶ σὺ ἐν ἐμοί, ἵνα ὦσι τετελειωμένοι εἰς ἕν ». The Heavenly Father, seeing the perfect conversion and sacrifice of Christ, recognizes man in His Face, as he thinks "years ago".

God repeats Himself in His images "in image and likeness.", and transmits to them His life, in the same way that it is inherent in Him, that is, eternally. So He does not create with "is" but invites us to participate in His eternal life.

God is humility and love. The love of God that is humble, for He is humble, makes love empty. Empty love is the main character of Divine Life, due to which the "unity" of the Trinity is absolutely perfect.

The whole Creation is captured "in the Great House of the Holy Trinity" within the eternal plan of Her. In order for all Creation to be recapitulated in the person of the Word. As the Godman concludes the divine with human nature to present to us alive the original perspective, the original plan of plastheisas in the image of God our nature. With the Mysteries, in the Divine Liturgy we receive the uncreated energy of God and we are purified, we are enlightened, we are led to Deification.

Christ is the incarnate God. God is revealed as a Being and as a multifaceted Being. Jesus Christ, the Creator comes to us and enables us to return to Him. He wears our "leather tunic" and raises him to Heaven to the right of God the Father.

Through Jesus Christ we have the right to adoption, we now have the ability to follow His word, His Mysteries, to be able to escape the shackles of the "leather tunic", to communicate and unite with God.

Salvation in Christ is the way of the living God for the Deification of man. All the other practices of other religions are creations of created people who cannot lead man beyond the wear and tear of space-time..

Christ is unique, is the Godman, it is the Word of God that is incarnate, for our salvation. In the person of Christ, human nature is resurrected and healed by death. Christ clothes the human flesh, to meet death and free us from him. In the person of Christ, the perfect communion of God with men became possible, our true adoption.

God's purpose is to make everything "one", "In Christ" and through Jesus Christ. It is that Christ rules over us, May the Lord reign in us and may we win the Kingdom of God. Real life is that, which does not end with death. Such an Eternal Life becomes possible on earth, only with the Resurrection of the Godman Christ.

With our Baptism in the name of the Holy Trinity we can return to the Lord. To win Eternal Life, The,whatever we have done. As long as we sincerely repent and follow His commands, and to be nourished spiritually with His Body and Blood.

S.Our effort on earth is to imitate Christ, which is our Standard and become like That. We imitate Jesus Christ with the power that He Himself gives us. He gives us this power by participating in His Church, in the Divine Liturgy, the Divine Mysteries, following His commands.

The energy of God is uncreated. If again the energy of God was a building then we could not be saved. Never can something built save another building. With the Mysteries, in the Divine Liturgy we receive the uncreated energy of God and we are purified, we are enlightened, we are led to Deification.

Without the holy dogmatic truth about the Trinity, we will not have the divine energies from the Holy Trinity. These divine energies enliven us, sanctify us, they save us, they deify us and we draw them with the right faith. Without the Holy Truth about the Godman, there is no salvation for man. Because when man lives the Truth, then the divine power springs from it, which saves him from sin, from death, and the devil.

We are free but not to the absolute degree that God is, He determines His Being in everything. We are created from scratch, we do not have it to be "in itself" like God. There is nothing self-existent except God. We always have the opportunity to choose either our adoption from God the Father so we gain freedom or distance from Him., finding the darkness of non-existence. There is nothing in between, we are eternal in the measure of staying close to God

Man's true life begins with his faith in Christ. Which faith delivers to the Lord the whole soul, whole heart, whole mind, all his strength. he sanctifies, transforms and deifies all gradually. Thereby the sanctity, transformation and deification, Lord diffuses in man the divine energies of Grace.

His divine energies give him the omnipotent sense and awareness of his personal immortality and eternity.. Our life is so life, as is life "in Christ". How it is 'in Christ'; This is manifested by the holiness of, the more holy is our life, more immortal and eternal.

Man does not have Eternal Life in him, that is, within the limits of its structure, he is cut off from God. He becomes immortal by his share in divine life, with the gift of God's Grace. Man can experience this immortality here with greater and lesser intensity.

God is Substantive (that is, it has a specific person, existence) and we are potentially hypocritical, because we have the ability to become like Him. To activate, Well, and we our substantive likeness to God, we need to keep His commandments. Only then do we overcome the limitation of the individual, set by Western and Eastern religions on the basis of which the individual cannot inherit the divine form of existence.

Whoever knows the Lord by the Holy Spirit becomes like Him. When Jesus Christ attracts us with His love, we live a profound transformation of our whole existence, it transmits to us His infinite life. Love relationships are the same as Hypothesis, of the image of the God of love. In love, the human being finds its resemblance to God, Where is Love.

When that love touches our heart, then our spirit sees God in the Light and lives through Him and Him. When the Spirit of Christ's love enters us, our soul thirsts for the salvation of all people. There is no greater calamity than the ignorance of God.

Faith is communion with God, it is the vision of God, That is why God is pleased only with our faith. Without faith man does not receive the Grace of the Holy Spirit. The Lord is the Resurrection and the Life and only with our faith in the Godman Jesus Christ do we gain the Eternal Life. Faith without struggle against passions, without prayer, fasting, Confession, Holy Communion, observance of the Lord's command word is empty, no meaning.

Depending on man's faith, the sanctification of his nature increases. Our life is so life, as is life "in Christ". The more holy our life is, more immortal and eternal.

Monly with our faith in Jesus Christ can we overcome the world. PiChrist himself is straight. Faith is the rejuvenation of the soul by the dead, the dead resurrection soul.

Faith in Christ unites man with the eternal Lord, Who the extent of man's faith, he fills his soul with Eternal Life and then he feels and understands himself as eternal.. We can only overcome the material world with our faith in Jesus Christ.

The Bible is not a book, but life. The Word of God, it is the Son and the Word of God himself who is Truth and Life. The Word of God has infinite power is beyond perishable, comes from the uncreated and does not change. Here is the secret, the man who appropriates, adopts, applies the Word of God, passes from the built to the uncreated, from the perishable to the indestructible, conquers Eternal Life walks towards Deification.

Christ's commandments are nothing else, despite the self-revelation of God as a projection of His Being on the level of the earth. With the consistent stay in the realm of Christ's commandments, the death that enters the world is healed because of our sins, and all life is flooded with the Uncreated Light of Divine Eternity.. Only strong faith that Christ is the Almighty God helps us to fasten to the "unshakable stone" of His commandments.. Orders put us face to face with the Absolute Being.

The knowledge of the Lord is given only through personal communion with Him. The Lord gives us the light of revelation. In the person-being, however, it is given to surround the whole creation with the flame of the love of Christ. Our created being is introduced through the Holy Spirit into the realm of the uncreated Divine Being.. Pure prayer is the safest way to know God.

The mind, enslaved to reason, cannot see God. We "see" God through our hearts. When we say heart, we do not mean emotion, but the mind which is pure from passions and earthly buildings and is in the heart turned to God. The essence of our soul is in the heart. When the energy of the soul we call mind, it is united with the essence of the soul which is the heart, then man finds himself again, connected with God.

The whole point of our lives is to realize that we cannot win the Kingdom of Heaven., the Eternal Life, Theosis, if we are possessed by passions. The Lord is clear we cannot serve two masters and have both happy or we are with Him or with the devil, we have to choose where we focus our minds.

The eye is our mind, the energy of our soul. AOur minds are focused on passions, which is greed, lust and ambition, then our whole existence is in darkness, she is submissive to the lord of darkness, the devil.

The price we pay when our passions become a habit, is that the demonic spirits settle in our hearts and deprive us of the joy that the connection with the Lord gives us.. They deprive us of the present but mainly of Eternal Life.

The sin gradually diminishes the soul of man, the approaching death, the change from mortal to immortal, from imperishable and infinite in finite and corruptible. The more sins is the man, the more it is mortal, every sin is a retreat, every passion a betrayal, every vice a beating.

He who by faith in the Risen Christ, he fights against every sin, he gradually reinforces his sense that Christ has truly been resurrected, actually defeated death in all fields of battle.

With sin and the fear of death the devil holds captives, slaves the majority of people. Inside the Church which is the Body of Christ who was resurrected, each person is given the opportunity to be resurrected, to defeat death, to defeat the devil, to be freed from his passions.

Slavery in demonic calculus is called passion. The source of the passions is greed, the excessive love and care in our body that makes it lush. As we succumb to the pleasures that come from the senses, we nurture passions. With passions man is enslaved to Satan, which gives him an insignificant pleasure. After the pleasure, of course, the pain always follows.

Our sins never overcome the magnitude of God's mercy. Our wounds never surpass His healing power. Only surrender to Him in faith. To confess our passion. Thus we receive the forgiveness of our sins and are entitled to inherit the Kingdom of Heaven with all the saints..

In our earthly life we ​​have a constant test, a constant temptation that is the devil. The devil is a dead spirit and transmits necrosis, evil that is dead and transmits the dead. It exists and has no life in it, transmits his mortality. The power of his evil is unlimited, but it can do nothing more than that,what God allows. The devil wants us not to believe in his existence to act undisturbed and to blame God for our misfortunes.

We can get rid of the devil and demons in prayer, fasting and faith. When we lose the presence of the Holy Spirit, when we are upset, then we are easy bait in the devil. We are upset, when pride comes to us. Then we lose our humility and turn away from the Grace of God.

The Lord with His Resurrection shows that He Himself defeats the devil and His state, death. And in this way it ensures the death of the dead in life.

Man is truly born when he believes in the Risen Savior Christ, because then he is born in the immortal Eternal Life, while the mother gives birth to her child to death, to the grave. The Resurrection is the mother of us all, all Christians, mother of immortals. By Faith in the Resurrection of the Lord man is born again, born for eternity.

The luscious Wonderful Lord Jesus, the Risen Godman is the only Existence under Heaven with which man here on earth can overcome death, sin and the devil. To become a blessed and immortal participant in the Eternal Kingdom of the Love of Christ.

In the Resurrection all the events of the life of Christ and the Apostles are summarized and in the eternal living Resurrection of the God-man Jesus Christ. Only with the resurrection of Christ explained all the wonders, all words, all the events of the New Testament.

The power of the Risen God-man Christ gives the power to every Christian to defeat every mortal and this death, all that is sinful and that sin itself, every evil and himself the devil.

The Heavenly Father, seeing the perfect conversion and sacrifice of Christ, recognizes man in His Face, as he has thought "before the ages".

As we approach and commune with the Risen Lord, we feel that death is not dominating our. The power of the Risen Christ animates our members, passes up to our bones, It gives us peace, Thanks and freedom from death. We also clothe His own decency and splendor.

People condemn God to death. But God in His Resurrection "condemns people to immortality. With the Resurrection of Christ, human nature driven irrevocably on the road to immortality and becomes bullying him death. So when the "in Christ" dies just leaves the garment of his body, to dress again with it renovated, brighter on the day of the Second Coming.

Every word of the Savior is full of truth and when it enters the soul it sanctifies it in all eternity.. As living gladsome power, the Word of God act miraculously and Life-Giver, when the man listens and accepts in faith. Every word of Christ is full of God, that is why when it enters the human soul, the cleaning of each pollutant.

The gateway to Jesus Christ is Our Lady. The only man on earth who is so close to the Godman Jesus Christ. He is the One who gives Him flesh. She is the One who brings Heaven down to earth for our salvation. With the incarnation of the Lord, Our Lady becomes our almighty mediator. She protects us from sin, from the devastation and suffering.

Our Lady becomes the magnet that pulls the Holy Spirit to earth. Only loving Mary and having daily, every minute relationship with Her, we can be united with God. If we love prayers, The greetings of the Virgin Mary can be received by Grace, to unite with God. Our Lady intercedes for us to be united with God, is the gate of our salvation, the roof of the world.

Whoever is enlightened by the Holy Spirit and taught by Him humility, becomes like the Master, Jesus Christ, the Son of God. The lover is like the beloved. Only the Grace of the Holy Spirit can make us understand the absolute degree of God's love for people.. It makes us participants according to Harin, in the mystery of the humiliation of the Son.

With the grace of the Holy Spirit leads to Christ. It is the uncreated divine energy, the grace of the Holy Spirit who governs us. The presence of the Spirit within us ensures the Presence of Christ, resulting in us becoming God's dwelling place, temple of the Holy Spirit. The criterion of the presence of the Holy Spirit is the love for our enemies. Without the Holy Spirit no one can know God and how much he loves us.

In fact, every Holy Mystery and all the divine virtues are a Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit through them comes to us and within us. The Holy Spirit to our Lord Jesus Christ dwells in us and we in Him. All the life of the Church in all its own, countless, God-human realities are driven and manipulated by the Holy Spirit. Which is always the Spirit of the Godman Christ.

The Holy Spirit invisibly gives knowledge to the soul. In Him the soul finds rest. The Holy Spirit cheers the heart and gives it joy on earth. To doubt a soul about the divinity of the Holy Spirit means doubt about its own life.. Because He enlivens us and nourishes us Spiritually, is the sun, the air, the food, the drink of the soul.

When the human being becomes a being, that is, an entity capable of embracing, especially with his prayer and love, God, to embrace the whole creation and to speak face to face with God and with others, then he fulfills the image and likeness of God and enters the Eternal Life..

Pride prevents the Holy Spirit from dwelling within us, it separates man from God and makes him isolate himself. Pride is that dark abyss into which man sinks as he falls. The proud always remain outside the love of Christ who embraces everything. Pride is the essence of Hades and salvation from Hades is possible only through repentance.

Repentance is the miracle that God brings into us. It brings us back from every fall, cleanses us of every flaw. Repentance is the divine miracle for our recovery after the fall. Repentance is the outpouring of divine inspiration on us. By the power of which we ascend to God, our Father, to live eternally in the light of His love. Our Repentance is accomplished through repentance, this is the inconceivable greatness. The Grace of repentance is given to those who fully accept the word of Christ.

The sorrows, Pain is the pruning that God gives us to bear more fruit, to get better. God has His own ways of educating those who trust Him, even if then we feel abandoned.

With the sorrows dman's freedom and his trust in God are tested, and tested "hard". The more complete and powerful the faith and trust of man in God, the greater the test size and the completeness of the experience, which can go a long way.

Our temptations are necessary for our evolution, they are the only ones who train us and lead us to Deification. We give the biggest battle against pride and all its forms that are: vanity, resentment, envy.

Pain contributes to human salvation. After all, man, seduced by the constant pursuit of illicit pleasure, fills his life with irrational pain.. Because he learned that and he doesn't want to fight, to get rid of demonic passions, God allows pains and trials, so that through them he can be helped to repent.

Only following the example of Christ, crossing, denying the "I" Our, our own will, only by overcoming the temptations and trials of life, following the life of our prototype, the God-man Jesus Christ, we reach the resurrection.

The Christian lives a life of crucifixion and resurrection and follows the life of His leader, of the Crucified and Resurrected Godman Christ. His goal is Theosis. His mind is dead of passion. He lives the life of Jesus Christ and always has Him as a model. If Christians are discouraged, means that do not raise their cross voluntarily, pleasant and thanksgiving.

As the whole man craves God, as long as he is really struggling to renounce himself and follow Christ, to raise his cross, to lift the Cross of Christ, so receive true divine power from the Lord Jesus Christ. When you decide to rush yourself, to raise your cross, at the same time receive divine power.

The humiliation of Christ is the power that overcomes everything. THE God is humility, humility is emptiness. God who creates with His Word every existence, He incarnates and lives, exhausting Himself to the point of being impossible for us. This is a characteristic of divine love, which is self-propelled, embroidery. This divine humility of Christ, as soon as he acts in the spirit of man, testifies to the salvation of the soul "without words".

The Divine Liturgy is God's invaluable gift to mankind. The Divine Liturgy in its eternal spiritual reality, it is the sacrifice for the sins of mankind. In the Divine Liturgy we share the Body and Blood of the human flesh located to the right of the Father.. Christ becomes the giver and the giver, offers this Resurrected Sarka. Grace, the energy of God comes from the Holy Spirit, by the saints, by the priests through the Divine Liturgy, where the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit give us Trishaya for Grace, His energy.

Man in the Divine Liturgy transcends himself and exchanges his built and perishable life, with the incorruptible and uncreated life of the Risen Son of God. The purpose of the Divine Liturgy and the Christian life is to visit the Holy Spirit, which is the "living water" that when we drink it we never thirst.

The Divine Liturgy is the mystery of God's love for man, is the secret source of true life, for in her is Christ himself. The Life-Giver offers Himself "eating and drinking" of the faithful. In the Divine Liturgy we share the Divine Life. We can no longer be distracted by the inconceivably great plan of our Creator Father revealed to us.. Where God loves us and invites us to be with Him in the ages to come.

The Immaculate Body and Honest Blood of the Lord are the Source of God's rich reconciliation with man.. They are the means of purification, of sanctification, of renovation, of Theosis. With the transfer of His Body and Blood, we also accept His Divinity, as it is manifested by Himself incarnate on Earth and as it remains forever in the heavens.

With Holy Communion we receive the immortal life of God and we become immortal.. We become shareholders of the divine Life and Christ dwells within us. This is the way: with our "in love" union with the Divine Subject of the Only Begotten Son we become like Him. Our Heavenly Father is adopting us in the endless ages, as hypostases in the fullness of our "image and likeness" of His end.

Confession is a gift of God to man where all the "fallen" are raised. The,Whatever man has done with Confession is freed from evil, the shackles of the devil that have bound him to sin. The Holy Spirit with Confession always gives us enlightenment and peace.

With His incarnate life on earth the Godman established His God-human Body, the Church. It prepares the earthly world for the coming and the life and the activity of the Holy Spirit in the Body of the Church., as the soul of this Body.

Entering the Church, we are saved. Death never takes over. we become eternal. We are changing our essence, there we are reborn because we receive the Holy Spirit, which we lose with our sins, which is obedience to the will of God. The Church is the place of our salvation, the place of our rebirth, the place where we win Paradise.

The Church is the earthly Paradise, which is Christ, that we taste Him with the divine Grace which we receive during the Divine Liturgy and with the Divine Mysteries. The work of the Church is our continual sanctification by the Holy Spirit through the Divine Mysteries.. Every Christian with his Holy Baptism and participation in the Divine Liturgy and in the Sacraments of our Church becomes a shareholder of the holiness of the Godman Jesus Christ.. The sacrifice offered each time in the Divine Liturgy, in the sacred altar, is the same sacrifice of the Godman in Golgotha ​​and always sanctifies us.

The Judgment in the Second Coming is the presence of Christ. For others it is immense joy and for others immense sorrow. It depends on the relationship we have with Christ, it depends on whether we have learned to love. There is no love without humility, without emptying, if we learned to love people, we also love Christ.

Eternal Life is to know the only true God. To enjoy His infinite perfection with close communication and love for Him. To know and worship Jesus Christ. Our Eternal Life gives to the Father only through the Son and Word.

We can gain Eternal Life by loving God and our neighbor. We love God by keeping His commandments and believing that Jesus Christ is the Son of our God..

And in the next life we ​​continue on the path to perfection, the saints of our Church inform us. THE God is preparing dwellings for us all in Heaven, outside spacetime. There are great glorious "monasteries", medium, slight, in accordance with the magnitude of each.

Everyone receives according to his work and the degree of purity of heart. But those who still live in smaller "single" continue Eternal Life in the road to perfection.

THE mind is not the soul but a gift of God that saves the soul. She precedes and advises her to despise the temporary and material and perishable and to fall in love with the eternal, indestructible and intangible goods. And while living with the body on earth, to understand with the mind and consider all the heavens and the things related to God.

The Son gave us believers Eternal Life. And this Eternal and Blessed Life exists in His Son and is transmitted through His Son to those who believe in Him.. He who has the Son in his heart and is united with Him by faith, It has the testimony and Eternal Life. but he who has no means of the Son of God, it does not have Eternal Life.

We all receive an incorruptible and spiritual body during the Second Coming as the Risen Body of Jesus Christ. Our body is based on lower animal functions, resurrected in a spiritual body. Our body, from mental and animal, becomes a spiritual body.

The purpose of creation is to summarize "everything" in Christ, in the Church which is His Body. Christ is the One who continues "everything" that creates "in Himself". Our purpose is to commune with Christ, to follow Him. To receive His Grace, which constantly transmits it through His Body, of the church.

We are created to glorify God and we glorify Him when we do the works of God. We glorify Him when, as His worthy children, we do the works that please God and He is pleased with His children..

Whoever comes from the soil, it is perishable, it is earthy, and his descendants are earthy. Whoever is heavenly, indestructible, He is out of space and He is the God-man Jesus Christ. Those who are baptized, vaccinated with the center of incorruption and immortality, and share His Resurrected Body and Blood, they also become immortal and incorruptible.

Acne is the most important feature of our time. Funeral is the care of the soul, which is everything,how much more valuable we have. Unfortunately for us every day we deal with anything other than caring for our soul which is our true existence.. The calamity that befalls us is the greatest achievement of the devil today.

Let us not be influenced by the sirens of this perishable world, even if we focus on the permanent, in the eternal world, which is life near the Godman Jesus Christ. Acne is a dangerous mental illness, because it creates spiritual laziness in us. It offends our minds, it paralyzes him and makes him incapable of thinking anything spiritual. Whoever is possessed by a plague, bored to pray, to participate in the sacramental life of the Church, and so it loses the ability to be saved.

At its final completion, the built structure also brings the whole crew of this nature. Which the Creator creates capable of involving the crew of the Godman is. Only with the synergy of God's Grace and prayer does the spiritual dynamism of our being overcome any limitation.. Not just finite "falling nature", but generally of all cosmic forces.

With the Resurrection of Christ death is abolished and the resurrection of course concerns all people, righteous and sinful. Souls not only live in death but those who live their lives virtually resort to Abraham. They experience the Light of Christ as the Animal Light and experience bliss.

While the souls of unrepentant sinners suffer from customs after their death. Because they are deprived of the garment of virtues, they experience the Light of Christ as a fire that burns them.

Eternal Life is the existence of another order, it is literally God himself. His Anarchic Touch touches us, love fills us, light. We are eternal in the measure of staying close to God. There is nothing self-existent except God.

When the soul is attracted to divine love, he abandons the body and walks with momentum towards God. But on the contrary, when he repulses God, he sinks "into the darkness of the inner", to the endless sufferings of a situation that is contrary to love. It is therefore necessary to confess our sins clearly, so as not to bring them with us after death. With sin man becomes mortal and finite, the Resurrection of Jesus becomes immortal and eternal.

We come from scratch, we are built, but the Creator enables us not only to become immortal, but to become small gods with His Grace and to enjoy the bliss and infinite fullness and glory that He enjoys..

But there is also the devil, lord of the material world we live in and pushes us to satisfy our passions. The earthly functions that without God's blessing are transformed into animal instincts. Which together with demonic spirits, entering our pericardium, they trap us away from God and deprive us not only of Deity, but also Eternal Life.

The solution is to resort to the Body of Christ, the Church. Where the Lord cleanses us with the Holy Spirit and Mysteries, it transmits to us His Grace and brings us back to Him, brings us back to life, because it is the Source of life. These are not all theories, but I have experienced them personally.

I have thousands of examples, people who come to my seminars full of fear sadness, misery even when they are part of the Body of Christ, get rid of all their problems. Many think with the logic which is infinitely limited in relation to the enlightenment of the Holy Spirit which all the Holy Fathers receive, whose words and experiences are mentioned in this book.

Realize that far from the Triune God and Jesus Christ the Image of God we know here on earth there is no life, for He is the Source of life. So it is worth keeping His commandments which are the Source of life, it is worth resisting our passions in order to gain Eternal Life.

We cannot do it alone without Jesus Christ, because we have the war of the devil that is stronger than us. That is why God is incarnated and sacrificed, God-man Jesus Christ to defeat the devil and his state which is death. What better way than to fight for our lives?, the Eternal Life, because our life on earth is less than a fraction of a second compared to Eternity;

Realize that we can do nothing alone, we are built (we have a beginning and an end), we are disconnected people. We become hypostases, beings who have Eternal Life, when we keep the commandments of the Lord. First and foremost, to love God with all our mind, which means having our mind in our heart and focused on our Creator, but also to forgive and love even our enemy.

To be cleansed of our sins and passions with sincere repentance and Confession. Only when we are cleansed do we become a temple for the Lord to dwell in us, to communicate if we can every day, so we become "one" body with Jesus Christ, we are always with Him, both in the present and in the Eternal Life.

The fear of death, causing all diseases in the elderly, it disappears when we are close to Christ who is the Source of life. Because death is the emptying of our "I". When the "I" is emptied before death, and this void is filled with Jesus Christ, then we look forward to leaving this world to continue our view of our sweetest Jesus who gives every Divine Liturgy His Body and Blood sacrifice for our salvation..

The Triune God is only love, he always loves us. We create all the problems, the temptations, misfortunes, when we are cut off from Him, carried away by the devil. Which is real, although he has convinced us that it does not exist.

There is no hell that Westerners support. God has not done anything wrong to us. There is no punishment. We create hell and punishment, when we do not trust the love and divine providence of our Creator.

Hell is to be away from our Creator. Hell is choosing to deny our Creator. Influenced by our logic and the devil who wants us to keep him company. Hell is not wanting, not to believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, not to confess Jesus Christ as our Savior. Then we see Him as a caustic light, that burns us, it bothers us.

Paradise is to love Jesus Christ, to confess Him and accept Him as the Son of God, as our Creator, our Savior. Then we see Him as a life-giving light and in His sight every molecule of our "being" rejoices and rejoices.. We can now experience Paradise on earth, joining the Body of Christ, the Church which is the heavenly part of the earth.

There we are in the visible presence (for the saints) of Jesus Christ, of His Mother, of the celestial powers and of all the saints. There, receiving the Body and Blood of Christ, each of our cells is sanctified, to the depths of our bones. The Infinite Body and Honest Blood of the Lord are a Rich Source of God's Reconciliation with Man. They are the means of purification, of sanctification, of renovation, of Theosis. To achieve this we need to clean up, to forgive and love our enemy.

Read this book carefully, I am especially addressing those who declare themselves "atheists". Atheists claim that their "I" does not accept anyone above them and seek self-sacrifice. Or they say that Christ is a creation of the Jews. Let them study the testimonies of the saints, their miracles. Let them dare to confess, to communicate and then experience the difference.

Unfortunately, their "I" likes self-deification. Our "I" and the logic that expresses it leads us to destruction. When the mind leaves the heart and focuses on buildings, the "I" dominates.. Let us realize at all times what we are, where we come from. Let us realize that the Source of life is Jesus Christ, outside of Christ is darkness, I experienced it personally.

I know every day in my seminars that are given almost every day everywhere, thousands of people who are far from Christ and embrace gurus and other sects. I constantly find that everyone is sick and unhappy, their soul is empty and their "I" is full without Christ. But I also know thousands of other people who return to Christ and become healthy and happy.

Our happiness depends on the satisfaction of our soul and our soul is satisfied only when it is on the way to meet its true Creator.. The one who sacrifices for her, He who constantly nourishes it by giving Mysteriously His Body and Blood. He who abolishes her death with His sacrifice. He was resurrected, ascended and raises our souls to heaven on the right hand of God the Father.

Many of you tell me that it is the fault of the priests that you do not go to church. Yes true, and priests are people. Many do so from a profession without true faith in Christ. But we find those who truly believe and honor their Priesthood and believe me, I know too many.

But anyway when the Mysteries are performed, whoever the pope does, it's the same. Because with the Anointing of the Priesthood that the Priest has with the ritual he performs, the Holy Spirit descends and sanctifies the Holy Gifts and himself. We kiss the priest's hand, because he has been sanctified when he touches the Holy Gifts, which by the Grace of the Holy Spirit are transformed into the Body and Blood of the Lord.

It is all worth studying this book, to study the words of the saints and to realize that if we are not close to Christ, we are far from His Kingdom, we are far from Eternal Life. Unfortunately, in this category we are over ninety percent of our population.

We are "good Christians", that is, "lukewarm Christians" I would say. We consider ourselves good people, we do not harm anyone. We have not stolen, we have not killed anyone, so we don't have to confess. We go to church and commune every Christmas and Easter and we think everything is perfect.

So I was before and now I see the difference. You should know that "lukewarm" Christians are making fun of us. We gain nothing by what we do, and the bad thing is that we are complacent with this situation believing that we are "good Christians" and do not wake up. There is no worse situation than someone who considers himself a "good man" and does not need to do anything else for his soul., Saint Paisios tells us.

Wake up, Dear friends, realize that this life is too short, all goods are perishable and flowing, turn to the Lord, become active members of His Church. Do not equate the Church with the ungodly priests, the Church is the house of God. In each Liturgy the Lord is present, the Virgin Mary all the saints and officiates the Holy Spirit who sanctifies everything in the Liturgy.

Be aware that we gain little when we light a candle in the Church when there is no Divine Liturgy. Jesus Christ with His incarnation and sacrifice united mankind definitively and irrevocably with His divine nature., he sanctified it and raised it within the Holy Trinity. So we whenever we want, we can return to the Lord's Body, the Church and to win Eternal Life.

Love the Lord with all your being, from Him everything depends on the present but also the Eternal Life. We love the Lord, when we keep His commandments, when we do not have our minds constantly on the mundane, but we surrender with all our "being" to Him. We love the Lord, when we constantly have our mind on Him. Keep in mind that in us lives and acts a cunning force that wants to cut us off from God., never forget that.

When you are overwhelmed by passions, of avarice, of ambition, vanity, to know that they do not come from your soul which is from God. But from the negative entities, the demons you have allowed to nest in your heart. And they are only persecuted by Jesus in His body, the Church.

Alone without Jesus Christ we are nothing, Together with Jesus Christ we enter the Holy Trinity to the right of the Father and we are "everything". Do not be fooled by the logic that represents the "I" which exists only in the world we live in and serves the ruler of this world., the devil. Learn to understand that when you are angry, you are possessed by passions, it is not you but the devil who rules over you.

Learn that when you feel beautiful and serene, you share, you are humble, it is not you but the Lord within us. So when are we better?; Only when we turn off, we empty our "I" and Christ dominates within us. Only when we become like our Standard, Jesus Christ, then we are free, then we walk to Theosis.

When we empty our "I" before it is emptied with the electroshock of death, we are filled with Christ. We are filled with the Holy Spirit, we become saints and we do not die death. Saints are those who never die. It's worth it, my dear friends, to follow all that the Lord clearly says, the Apostles and all our Holy Fathers.

You need to have this book in your headrest and read it by opening it randomly. Read what you need to get back on the Lord's path, on the way to Theosis. I wish us all to reach Deification, to win Eternal Life and the Kingdom of Heaven, After all, this is the plan of the Triune God for us before the world is paid.

Our happiness depends on the satisfaction of our soul and our soul is satisfied only when it is on the way to meet its true Creator.. The one who sacrifices for her, He who constantly nourishes it by giving Mysteriously His Body and Blood. He who abolishes her death with His sacrifice. He was resurrected, ascended and raises our souls to heaven on the right hand of God the Father.
