“Who is He? He is the Word of Truth, the Word of non-corruption, who renews man, by bringing him back to the truth. He is the goad that provokes to salvation, He is the One who destroys perdition, and drives away death. He builds the temple of God in men, and makes them His dwelling place.  The sick are in need of a Saviour. The lost need a guide. The blind are in need of someone to lead them to light. The thirsty need the living fountain, from which, if someone drinks, one will never thirst. The dead need life. The sheep are in need of a shepherd. And the children need a teacher. All humanity is in need of Jesus!” St Clement of Alexandria #FeastofTheCross #Salvation #onlyinChrist #dailyreadings #coptic #orthodox

Evangelists don’t just extend human beings’ lives a few years on earth. Rather, they guarantee unlimited numbers of years or rather an eternal number of years in heaven. They don’t open the eyes of the blind to enjoy seeing things for some time. Rather, they open the eyes of all to see eternal truth and enjoy the afterlife. They don’t solve the temporary earthly problems (actually they may add some problems to those who start believing in Christ and following His teachings). Rather, they solve the most serious and complicated problems I.e. eternal death, corruption and evil – Abouna Daoud Lamei . . #evangelise #evangelist #preachthegoodnews #salvation #dailyreadings #coptic #orthodox

The darkness is being turned into light. There is not, as some heretics argue, a nature so alienated that it cannot receive salvation. Those who receive salvation, the righteous, are “the light of the world.” Those who refuse, the unrighteous, are in consequence called darkness. The difference and distance between one and the other is clearly seen by their own fruits. – Saint Jerome . #BeTheLight #ReturnToTheLord #Salvation #CopticOrthodox #Coptic #Orthodox #DailyReadings

“Notice that he did not say according to each one’s faith, lest those who do not have enough faith fall in despair, but he said according to the measure of Christ’s gift. The basic point is that all participate in the baptism and the salvation through faith, and all take God as their Father and have fellowship in the one spirit.” – St. John Chrysostom#oneLord #oneFaith #onebaptism #salvation #lent #greatlent #dailyreadings #coptic #orthodox
