“We love Him because He first loved us.” 1 John 4:19 . “We did not love Him first: for to this end loved He us, that we may love Him: And sent His Son to be the Atoner for our sins: “ litatorem,” i.e. one that sacrifices. He sacrificed for our sins. Where did He find the sacrifice? Where did He find the victim which he would offer pure? Other He found none; His own self He offered.” St Augustine #Love #Hefirstlovedus #God’sLove #dailyreadings #coptic #orthodox #ChristisRisen

“My little children, let us not love in word or in tongue, but in deed and in truth.” 1John 3:18 . “For in nothing do we draw close to God as in doing good to man.

Never despise fallen man… never refuse to do good to those who have need of you… Give help. Help others to live.” St John Chrysostom #Love #LoveinAction #dailyreadings #coptic #orthodox #ChristisRisen #Loveindeedandtruth

He did not say that he dissolved it; he did not say that he put an end to it, but he used the much more forceful expression: He killed! This shows that it need not ever…

“Most assuredly, I say to you, if anyone keeps My word he shall never see death.” John 8:51 . “Indeed, the Lord knew of another death and He had come to save us all from it- the second death, the eternal hellish death, the death of condemnation with Satan and his angels. This is the real death, whereas the other death is merely a transition. What is the other death? It consists of abandoning the body, dismantling its heavy burden and putting it away so that it no longer drags a person downwards into hell. The Lord speaks about real…

“Your word is a lamp to my feet And a light to my path.” Psalm 119:105 . “The study of inspired Holy Scripture is the chief way of finding our duty in life. For in Scripture we find both instruction about our conduct and the lives of holy men and women delivered in writing, as real, breathing images of Godly living. These teachings are examples for imitating their good works.”-St. Basil the Great #dailyreadings #GodsWord #HolyScripture #ChristisRisen #coptic #orthodox
