At the foundation of all existence, there is an Existence that is without a cause (God).
Meaning, there must have always been Something from eternity; there could not have been a time when there was nothing.
There was Something from all eternity. This Something Who is from all eternity and without a cause must have perfection; He must have everything.
This is God.
And a perfect Existence, an Existence which is not small in nature from which nothing can come out of, first of all, must posses a conscience and He also must posses love.
So an Eternal God, a God from the ages, Who is the Source of existence, Who is the Foundation of existence, Who did not receive His existence from someone else.
Not even made out of nothingness!
He must not be a single Person, but rather He must be a Person Who loves another Person.
And what love is purer between two people, than that which is between a father and his son?
There is a Father and there is a Son.
A Father Who loves like no other earthly father does, and a Son Who responds to His Father's love like no other earthly son does.
And there is Someone Else, a third Person...
Who gladdens the One, the Father, when He stays alongside Him, and He cherishes the Son in the same way the Father does.
"Look there is another Person as well! Look My Son, how beautiful He is! Isn't He beautiful?"
"Your rejoicing is even greater!"
And when the Son says to the Spirit, "See how good My Father is!"
Truly! And His rejoicing is even greater!
So the true love is between three people, it is not between two people. Two people already become limited; there exists a boundary.
There also must be a Third Person so that a limit does not exist. We have many "the thirds" because we are limited. But God only can have one Third Person.
And that is why the Spirit is He Who comes next to the Father as a Person, and He rejoices with the Father in the Son.
He is projected by the Father unto the Son, and He makes the Son bright; He makes the Son shine more brilliantly for the Father.
And He makes the Father shine more brilliantly for the Son.
And when...
God the Father says, "How beautiful My Son is! And how good it is to love a Son!"
"Why should I not have more children?"
But He does not want to beget more children from Himself, so that He does not make His Son relativized.
There no longer would be an absolute love. So He makes them out of nothingness, and this demonstrates the creating power of God.
He makes out of nothingness other people, so that he can love them. He makes them according to the image of the Son.
And so that they can love as well. But when people don't do this, because He makes them with free will, they say, "Why should I subject myself to Someone Else?"
"Why should I subject myself to Someone Else?" And so they fall into a separation from the Father. And then the Father makes His Son man.
And He comes like a man among men. He becomes brethren to them. And He loves them so much that He goes even to death, so that He can conquer death; which people brought onto themselves through their separation from God.
You have to fight for the meaning of life. When you fight against the passions, you are fighting for the meaning of life.
And the meaning of this life, is eternal life.
If you do not gain the eternal life; the joyous life to come...
If you perish definitively, then life has no meaning. And you cannot reach the eternal joyous life, if you do not fight against the passions and if you do not fight for the sake of love for others.
Sacrificing for the love of another. In this is also the meaning of the Cross. To carry your cross.
Your life to be the carrying of a cross.
Your life to be capable of sacrificing for others.
Man is made according to the image of the Son.
According to the image of the Son. And we have a sentiment of being children. We cannot consider ourselves to be the least among the living or the least out of all creations.
We think that we too must have a father, and a Supreme Father as well.
But we are not begotten from Him, we are rather created by Him. Nevertheless, we are made brethren to the Son of the Father.
This is our teaching.
The Holy Trinity; Jesus Christ, Son of God, made man.
These are the two fundamental teachings of Christianity. Without them life has no meaning. Only Christianity gives a meaning to life.
