Jelaskan Eastern Orthodoxy dari Penyucian

Orthodox Christianity teaches the doctrine of theosis, whereby humans take on divine properties. A key scripture supporting this is 2 Peter 1:4. In the 4th century, Athanasius taught that God became Man that Man might become God.

Essentially, Man does not become divine, but in Christ can partake of divine nature. This Church's version of salvation restores God's image in man.

One such theme is release from mortality caused by desires of the world.
