The Duty of All Christians

Transcript

Orthodox Christians have many rules and responsibilities in our spiritual lives. St. Dimitry of Rostov goes on to tell us that Christians have one supreme duty:

…to strive always and in every way to be united with God, their creator, lover, benefactor, and their supreme good, by Whom and for Whom they were created.
