Session 11 – Redemption and salvation (Fr Nicholas Karipoff)
The Resurrection of Christ is central in Christianity. We assemble every week on the day of the Resurrection. Yet the Resurrection cannot be understood without the whole story of our salvation, especially from the time that the Word becomes flesh. We look at our relationship with God based on the gift of free will and see how this makes it possible for us to fall away, then reconnect with God and Christ’s Redemption. This opens to us eternal life and great mercy of His Ascension in our life – now and forever.
