Orthodox doctrine of personal salvation. Salvation as a process. Archbishop Mikhail (Mudyugin)

“Personal salvation is the most relevant, most burning question for many.. However, there are many baptized and even recognizing their belonging to the Church of Christians, who do not put the issue of personal salvation in front of themselves or put them abstractly, divorced from their own life practice.. Meanwhile, salvation should not be indifferent to a Christian, firstly, because with any understanding of salvation with him, staying with God, possession and use of His love and mercy, and secondly, because The alternative of salvation is death...

The doctrine of salvation, which is made by Jesus Christ, is one of the most important parts of Christian dogmatic theology, and the corresponding section is called objective soteriology... Along with objective, there is subjective coeriology, which makes up the most Important, basic frequency of moral theology.... Subjective soteriology directly determines the personal behavior of a Christian, dictating to him his personal contribution to the salvation of himself and his neighbors, indicating him the purpose, meaning and nature of his behavior, all his Christian formation in life, in relations to God, to people, people, To himself.
