The purpose of our life, as we know, is our union with God. As the Bible says,
man was created in the image and likeness of God, to be like God, that is, to
be united with Him. Man;s likeness to God is what the Holy Fathers call
theosis. Do you see how great is the purpose of man;s life? To become not
merely better, more moral, more just, more righteous, more noble, but God by
Grace.
Elder Georgios Grigoriatis (1935-2014)
Translated by Dr. Nick Stergiou
