Origen believes that our Lord Jesus Christ is the Savior of mankind. Christ who loved humanity, even when they were sinners and enemies, and sacrificed Himself on their behalf, is asking to have a personal relationship with every soul.

The Bible in both its Testaments tells the story of practical divine love. It may be said that humanity occupies the center of God’s heart and mind. Man is His beloved creature and His icon, and he should have followed His example, being His divine ambassador and celestial agent on earth. Whenever I try to express my feelings about the Bible in writing, I am overwhelmed with shame. Human language fails to express our gratitude towards God’s transcendent love of humanity and every individual. I now beseech the Holy Spirit to guide us on the journey of divine love. I urge Him to ...
