“When we keep Christ’s commandments, we’re not offering anything to Him. Because He has no need of anything and is the Giver of all good things. In fact, we’re simply benefitting ourselves by making eternal life and the enjoyment of its ineffable bounties available to us.”
(Saint Theodoros of Edessa in pemptousia.com)
