Summary/Abstract: The Church is a sure reality through which mankind can rise from the burden of sin. The Churchexpresses through the Holy Spirit all those who have been redeemed and harmonized in the love ofChrist. That is why the Church contains millions and millions of hypostases, just as the Hypostasis of theSon of God comprised in Him, without absorbing it, the whole human nature assumed by Him as aconnection to all mankind. In this sense, perfection is accomplished in Christ as a sacramental church,because He encompasses all in Himself as a center of straight lines that start from Him. The indispensableparticipation in the life of the Church, through a life after Christ, according to the attributes of the Church,highlights in us the grace of adoption, given to us through the Holy Baptism in the Holy Spirit in a lifeafter the will of Christ. In the Church, we clothe the new man who renews himself in knowledge in theimage of Him who made him (Colossians 3: 9-10).
