The main reason for salvation, God's Love in us

      In the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen! 40 Martyrs of Sebaste, St. John Climacus, Holy Apostles: Andrew, John, Matthew, Mark, Luke, Paul; holy hierarchs: Basil, Gregory, John, and Nicholas; holy ones: Simeon the New Theologian, Gregory of Sinai, Gregory Palamas, Maximus the Confessor; holy ones: Macarius, Anthony, Athanasius; holy ones: Sergius, Seraphim, Nilus, Silouan, and all saints, pray to God for us! [John 8:28-29] Therefore Jesus said to them: When you lift up the Son of Man, then you will know that I am He, and that I do nothing of Myself, but as My Father taught Me, I speak these things. He who sent Me is with Me; the Father has not left Me alone, for I always do those things that please Him. Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me, a sinner. Mother of God, help me.

      Peace be with you, brothers and sisters. To obtain salvation and restore the human dignity granted by God through His image and likeness, it is necessary to fulfill the main thing. Without returning one's mind to the Father, it is unlikely that anything good will come of it. Of course, sometimes one can make a right choice, but it will not be stable and fully conscious. Moreover, one can even selflessly sacrifice oneself for another out of love, and this will undoubtedly save, for there is no greater love than to lay down one's life for one's friends. However, it is essential to understand the most important thing: Love is given by the Holy Spirit from the Father. That is, a person, one way or another, receives a notification through the mind that for the salvation of a neighbor, it is necessary to sacrifice oneself precisely from the Father. For everything is from Him and to Him. He gave Love, and He also accepted our sacrifice perfected by His love. That is, we, one way or another, sometimes even without realizing it, fulfill the Will of the Creator. Nevertheless, if one is to take the long path to the Heavenly Father, communication with Him will be required. He will guide the direction of the right choice at our request. In such a case, each of our steps will be sanctified and lead to the Summit. An attentive and humble mind listens, hears, and takes each step. This is how the Son of God lived on earth in the Person of Jesus Christ. He also showed us the Way to Heaven through obedience and Love. Therefore, we should all do the same, for His words give us the key to salvation: "Therefore Jesus said to them: When you lift up the Son of Man, then you will know that I am He, and that I do nothing of Myself, but as My Father taught Me, I speak these things. He who sent Me is with Me; the Father has not left Me alone, for I always do those things that please Him." The one who walks hand in hand with God always has within: the Mind of the Father, the Reason of the Son, and the Love of the Holy Spirit. And this is salvation, both here and now and until the end of our age. The first man severed the connection with the Father and became darkened in mind. The New Adam, Jesus Christ, fully restored this connection, showing us an example to follow. Do not remain as foolish beasts; return human dignity and defeat the cunning serpent that has firmly settled in your soul and nature. The main reason for our salvation is the Love of God within us. Amen and Glory to the Holy Trinity, our Lord Jesus Christ, the Most Holy Virgin Mother of God, and all the saints who have shone in Love. March 22, 2026.
