Quote for the Morning: Attaining

[Shin]

'Although we have received the power to become the children of God (cf. John 1:12), we do not actually attain this sonship unless we strip ourselves of the passions. Let no one think that he has actually become a child of God if he has not yet acquired divine qualities. We are sons of God or of Satan according to whether we conform to goodness or to evil.'
