Holy Tradition, theosis, and liturgical worship
How does this unite us with the ancient Church?
In John 10:31-39, the Eastern Orthodox tradition emphasizes the unity of the Father and the Son, underscoring the divine nature of Christ and His role in the salvation of humanity. This passage invites believers to understand their own potential for theosis, or divinization, through their relationship with Christ, who reveals the Father’s love and invites us into communion with Him.
