The Dual Struggle of Faith
Christian faith is not a simple division of the world into light and darkness; it is a deep acknowledgment of the internal battle between the soul's higher aspirations and its phantom shadows. In the Orthodox worldview, a true disciple of Christ does not reduce all divine reality solely to Jesus, rejecting anything that may appear unworthy. On the contrary, the genuine believer understands the irrationality of one-sided thinking and realizes that within a person coexist the bright aspiration to live according to the commandments and the weaknesses urged by temptations.
