11 LawGod,7 | Living in this world, a Christian is in a constant, lively

17 LawGod,7 | eternal home.~The ideal of Christian perfection is unattainably
18 LawGod,7 | entire earthly life of a Christian is a constant struggle of
19 LawGod,7 | self-perfection. Of course, Christian perfection is not given
20 LawGod,7 | once, but gradually. To a Christian who, through his inexperience,

29 LawGod,10| beginning of that truly Christian life which saves us, comes
30 LawGod,10| of the consecrating of a Christian. According to the measure
31 LawGod,10| measure of his faith, a Christian receives divine Grace in
32 LawGod,11| will - correctly and in a Christian way.~Man's mind develops

47 LawGod,13| realization of Orthodox Christian hope and the triumph of
48 LawGod,14| everyone understands that for a Christian it is necessary to have:
49 LawGod,14| oneself must never cease. A Christian who wishes to strengthen
50 LawGod,14| are a great obstacle for a Christian, moral life. On the other
51 LawGod,14| unbelievers, for a believing Christian the answer is simple and

56 LawGod,15| vain times, an Orthodox Christian must learn to concentrate,
57 LawGod,16| one's soul, an Orthodox Christian must not leave the body
58 LawGod,16| him to sin. An Orthodox Christian, however, who is God-loving

71 LawGod,18| where it fades and dries up.~Christian justice: This is the complete
72 LawGod,18| justice - the justice of the Christian heart. Its basic, wise,

74 LawGod,18| strict to our neighbors. Christian justice speaks otherwise.
75 LawGod,18| and love. In general, the Christian rule of life teaches us
76 LawGod,18| self-love and egoism. Thus, Christian justice demands from us
77 LawGod,18| soul? A sincere, loving Christian, on the contrary, joyfully
78 LawGod,18| neighbor in a believing Christian love, of that love about
79 LawGod,19| Falsehood. Christian Charity~One of the most
80 LawGod,19| not to be, but to seem. A Christian strives, of course, not
81 LawGod,19| mentioned that the basis of a Christian's relationship with his
82 LawGod,19| does not do good is not a Christian. And this good, this love
83 LawGod,19| heaviest sins.~Of course, Christian help is not exhausted by
84 LawGod,19| help can create a highly Christian relationship of participation,
85 LawGod,19| participating in a vital, Christian way in something truly serious
86 LawGod,20| impossible in people who are of a Christian disposition. For, in every
87 LawGod,20| higher than they, etc. The Christian fears the reverse - he fears
88 LawGod,20| called the sons of God." The Christian peace-maker is, by this
89 LawGod,20| enmity and counteraction. A Christian peace-maker, however, is
90 LawGod,20| since he knows that every Christian struggle of good deeds is
91 LawGod,20| distinguishing feature of every Christian. It is manifested most of
92 LawGod,20| doubt, a sin and, for a Christian, it is unacceptable. "Do
93 LawGod,20| complete betrayal of the Christian spirit of meekness and forgiveness
94 LawGod,20| it shows the absence of Christian love in a person.~The situation
95 LawGod,20| opposed to the spirit of Christian love...~
96 LawGod,21| Systems~All the qualities of a Christian relationship with neighbors -
97 LawGod,21| fundamental virtue. This virtue is Christian love, and it is the root
98 LawGod,21| is the root principle of Christian morality.~In addition to
99 LawGod,21| points with the teaching of Christian morality, these systems
100 LawGod,21| acknowledge the principle of Christian love as the basic teaching
101 LawGod,21| from the strictly Orthodox Christian point of view, eudemonism
102 LawGod,21| orderly. Because of this Christian moral influence, utilitarian
103 LawGod,21| often cloaked in a mantle of Christian idealism.~
104 LawGod,22| Christian Love As The Basic Principle
105 LawGod,22| have also observed that Christian morality is completely established
106 LawGod,22| it.~What exactly is this Christian love? In its fully developed
107 LawGod,22| through them to all of us).~Christian love is a special feeling
108 LawGod,22| is the ideal of self-less Christian love. It embraces everyone,
109 LawGod,22| persecute you." Thus, a Christian loves other people not for
110 LawGod,22| him in themselves and the Christian's love seeks their salvation,
111 LawGod,22| the essence and nature of Christian love so clearly revealed
112 LawGod,22| appropriately called "the hymn of Christian love." Here, the Apostle
113 LawGod,22| Here, the Apostle compares Christian love with various spiritual
114 LawGod,22| disenchantment. And it will go with a Christian to a new and better world
115 LawGod,23| have not strayed far from Christian ideals, nevertheless, their
116 LawGod,23| views were formulated on the Christian type. The work of many of
117 LawGod,23| scientists bears a clearly Christian imprint upon them. Further,
118 LawGod,23| responsibility for an Orthodox Christian person is to choose a friend
119 LawGod,23| God's word says of the Christian marriage, "be two in one
120 LawGod,23| common life. An Orthodox Christian wife think first of all
121 LawGod,23| The Lord tempered such a Christian marital union by His Divine
122 LawGod,23| noteworthy that in such a Christian marriage, the love of the
123 LawGod,23| character by which purely Christian love is distinguished. With
124 LawGod,23| Himself up for her." In Christian marriage, the unification
125 LawGod,23| aberration of divorces.~Christian marriage is a single life
126 LawGod,23| attraction, also enters into Christian marital love. In a truly
127 LawGod,23| marital love. In a truly Christian marriage, however, such
128 LawGod,23| multitude of examples in which Christian spouses, through mutual
129 LawGod,23| transform a marriage union.~In a Christian family, not only the relationship
130 LawGod,23| daughter as a believing Christian, good, responsive, work-loving,
131 LawGod,23| similar positions for a Christian: teachers, educators, etc;
132 LawGod,23| important, of course, for the Christian, is the honoring of Church
133 LawGod,24| and unity of the state.~A Christian family must not lock itself
134 LawGod,24| way. Such a life is not a Christian life, and such a family
135 LawGod,24| and such a family is not a Christian family. A Christian family,
136 LawGod,24| not a Christian family. A Christian family, as a cell or unit
137 LawGod,24| living relationship of the Christian must not be locked up within
138 LawGod,24| framework of the national state. Christian love is pan-human. For a
139 LawGod,24| love is pan-human. For a Christian, each person, no matter
140 LawGod,24| likewise! Such is the law of Christian love."~But if we Christians
141 LawGod,24| These appeals are purely Christian. It is, however, only these
142 LawGod,24| is, however, only these Christian ideas which are of value
143 LawGod,24| love for neighbor. For a Christian, such a neighbor is every
144 LawGod,24| in general (therefore, a Christian must love everyone), and
145 LawGod,24| he meets in daily life. Christian life is manifested most
146 LawGod,24| these new "neighbors" in a Christian manner - to be friendly,
147 LawGod,24| love for homeland is that Christian patriotism which cosmopolitanists
148 LawGod,24| strongly struggle against.~Christian patriotism is, of course,

150 LawGod,24| his nation. In addition, Christian patriotism is completely

158 LawGod,26| those times, it had its own Christian communism and the faithful
