THEOSIS - SPIRITUAL REUNION

-God is our ultimate goal!
   -we must willingly choose God. God wont force


-God is a person in 3 bodies
-God is a communal love
social trinity.. God wants relationship...
-Father, Son, Holy Spirit is constantly moving, loving.. moving in unity
-God was never lonely.. yet He open up this love to include us

God preparing us into an union with Him

theosis is the ability to join in the perichoresis "dance"
-this union has alr started... the moment we believe in Christ
-God uses marriage to describe the relationship we should have with Him
we must learn to take a few steps back and let God live through us, love through us
1. the more we focus on spiritual things, the more theosis happens
2. be repentant... theosis happens when we ask the Holy Spirit to help us
3. be as humble, gentle, patience as we can
4. hungry and desperate for righteous living
5. be kind and compassionate to the needy
6. dont stop dealing with immorality
7. dont be hostile.. seek to reconcile whenever possible
8. be brave for God.. dont be afraid of sufferings

this is how we have the easy yolk, light burden
