What Is Eastern Orthodox Christianity?
Eastern Orthodox Christianity is the original Christian faith founded by Jesus Christ and preached by His Apostles.
Expanded explanation
Eastern Orthodox Christianity is the original Christian faith founded by Jesus Christ and preached by His Apostles. Orthodox Christians believe the Church has preserved the faith, worship, and teachings handed down from the Apostles through Holy Tradition and the guidance of the Holy Spirit. The Orthodox Church emphasizes worship, prayer, the sacraments, repentance, and union with God. Orthodox Christians believe salvation is not simply a legal declaration but a lifelong journey of becoming united with God through His grace. The Orthodox Church is organized into self-governing churches throughout the world that share the same faith, sacraments, and apostolic succession.
