I have preached to you many times on the epistles of the holy Apostle Paul, which are extremely important for us, and I have urged you to delve into every word of them as you read these epistles. Listen now to my explanation of the words of Paul in the second epistle to the Corinthians: “Now He who establishes us with you in Christ and has anointed us is God, who also has sealed us and given us the Spirit in our hearts as a guarantee” (2 Corinthians 1:21-22). The ultimate goal of our life is communion with Christ, His Eternal Father and the Holy Spirit in life eternal and infinity.
