Orthodox Christianity is quick to condemn unrepentant sinners to an ever-burning hell fire, which will torture them for all eternity, without ever being able to die or to be freed from such pain and suffering. This concept of hell is a terrible deviation from the truth and denies God’s mercy and compassion.

We all sin and fall short of the glory of God. But we can repent and ask for forgiveness, and because of Christ’s Sacrifice, we CAN be forgiven. When you see a brother or sister struggle with sin, you can and should pray to God that He would help him or her, and give him or her strength to overcome and to continue.

The Church of God can be compared with a spiritual hospital. Many don’t take advantage of the help that Christ is offering us through His Church. But rather than trying to “make it” on our own, we must realize that God has decreed only one way how we can be cured from our spiritual sickness and obtain salvation–and the Church fulfils a necessary role in that process. Without the Church, we cannot understand God’s Word, receive the Holy Spirit, and move toward perfection.
