Dimensiuni duhovniceşti ale Tainei Botezului surprinse în omiliile exegetice ale Sfântului Ioan Gură de Aur la epistolele pauline

Abstract

As Saint John Chrysostom notes, the whole human race has been harmonized in the Person of God-The Man. Through Jesus Christ Savior, the whole world regained its balance in the ontological structure.
Since every person is unique and unrepeatable person, with freedom itself, it is necessary to participate and to share personal, free and conscious of the fruits acquired by the Savior redemption.
Baptism is the first Mystery of the Church, by which man becomes a partaker of Christ`s gifts. Who is baptized is committed to follow Christ. By Baptism, each man takes part intimately of death and Resurrection of Christ, ie the ontological premises of freedom from sin, from evil and from death.
Who is baptized in the name of the Holy Trinity is truly a child of God by grace, becomes part of the Body of Christ, ie the Church, is spiritually born to new life in Christ, which has its beginning in water baptism and extends eternity, is purified of sin and receives pledge eternal glory and imperishable gifts of God`s Kingdom.
