It is taught in the Church that our salvation comes from our communion with God. God is not some distant object. God is an ever present Trinity of three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. This God has made a way for all who are in Him to come to truly know Him, not just know about Him. The Orthodox Church has forever taught us that we are saved by an experienced relationship with the God who makes Himself known to us. Our Lord Jesus Christ was the express image of God to us and for us. He came and lived among us that we might see God, know God, and be saved.
