As partakers of the divine nature, we bear fruit (Matt 7:17).

The purpose of life is theosis.

"Of early Church writings, I am haunted by the =Epistle to Diognetus=. It defends the Christians for living profoundly different lives.

Mark Sietsema, Epigrams and Interludes From the Notebook of a Semi-Experienced Priest, Praxis, Spring 2014
