I come from a family of unbelievers- we are so lost in our sin and I pray that with every day that the good Lord blesses me with I will be able to change in his image, and help my family along the path of salvation in seeing my example. Please pray for us, God bless all 🙏
The Lord said "If any man should come after me, let him deny himself, take up his cross and follow me." Orthodox Christianity is about dying before we die, so that when we die, we won't die. Death to the passions (sins that control us/addictions), Death to self importance and egotism, death to the world system of constantly clawing and climbing to the top. We must be crucified unto all these things, that the New Man who is Christ Jesus can be "put on". We are not however unimportant to God, who values us more highly than any treasure, He has made us to be His family and His Holy and living Temples. God made us for His Spirit to dwell inside of us.

Orthodox seems to be about self negation
