“He must increase, but I must decrease.” John 3:30 . “May God who is always perfect grow and increase in you for the more you comprehend Him the more He will appear to increase in you. As for Himself, He does not increase since He is the everlasting Perfection…This is also true of the inner depths of a person for he truly grows in the Lord God who appears increasingly in Him. However, the person himself seems to diminish when he falls away from his own arrogance and establishes the glory of God.” St. Augustine #Hemustincrease #Imustdecrease #dailyreadings #coptic #orthodox…

“While you have the light, believe in the light, that you may become sons of light.” John 12:36 . “Light is an integral part of Him and therefore can never be isolated from His own self.

“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. Though God does the greater things, the man the less; yet each, I believe, according to his capacity. He made man; and when man is undone, He remakes him. 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

“and that He might reconcile them both to God in one body through the cross, thereby putting to death the enmity.” – Ephesians 2:16 . “No expression could be more authoritative or more emphatic. His death, he says, killed the enmity, wounded and destroyed it. He did not give the task to another. And he not only did the work but suffered for it. 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…
