The God-Man: The Foundation of the Truth of Orthodoxy - St. Justin Popović

St. Justin Popović teaches us the centrality of Christ in Orthodoxy, apart from whom Orthodoxy does not exist. All other religions are based on man, but only Orthodoxy is based on the God-man. St. Justin writes, “Orthodoxy is Orthodoxy by reason of the God-man, and not by reason of anything else or anyone else. Hence another name for Orthodoxy is God-manhood. In it nothing exists through man or by man, but everything comes from the God-man and exists through the God-man. This means that man experiences and finds out about the fundamental eternal truth of life and the world only with the help of the God-man, in the God-man. And it means something else: man learns the complete truth about man, about the purpose and meaning of his existence only through the God-man. Outside of Him a man turns into an apparition, into a scarecrow, into nonsense. Instead of a man you find the dregs of a man, the fragments of a man, the scraps of a man. Therefore, true manhood lies only in God-manhood; and no other manhood exists under heaven.”
O holy Father Justin, pray to God for us!
