In a world obsessed with explanations, data, and visible proofs, there remains a sacred path that defies all logic. It is the path of love — the kind of love that follows Christ not because it can be proven or justified, but because it simply knows. This is the road of Orthodoxy. This is the power of Christianity when it is lived from the depths of the human heart.
“I go with Christ.” This phrase, so simple and yet so profound, captures the essence of Christian devotion.
Not, “I go with Christ because it’s logical.” Not, “I go with Christ because I can explain everything.” But, “I go with Christ because I love Him. I like it.”
Orthodoxy is not a philosophy. It’s not a theory among many, nor a lifestyle trend. It is life itself. It is the breath of God entering into man, and man responding not with argument but with awe.
In Orthodox Christianity, faith is not separated from love. They are one and the same. And that is why the Orthodox Christian does not follow Christ like a philosopher follows an idea, but like a bride follows her bridegroom — out of love, out of desire, out of joy.
God is not found by argument but by surrender.
There is a divine simplicity in this commitment. When someone tells you, “I go with Christ,” it may sound naïve to the modern mind, trained to question and to doubt. But it is actually the highest form of wisdom. Because what matters is not what you know intellectually, but who you follow in your heart.
In Orthodoxy, the heart is the altar where all truth is revealed.
Christianity is not a debate club. It is not a battlefield of competing arguments. It is a relationship. A living connection with the living God. And in this relationship, we don’t always have the answers.
But we do have the presence.
We have the peace. We have the Person of Christ, who calls each of us not to prove His existence, but to walk with Him in love.
The saints didn’t follow Christ because they had all the answers. They followed because they were conquered by His love. They walked with Him through pain, through persecution, through silence. And they never looked back. Their Orthodoxy was not dry tradition; it was burning love. It was truth lived in the flesh.
When someone says, “I go with Christ,” what they’re really saying is, “I go with love. I go with light. I go with the One who loved me when I was unlovable.”
This is the core of Orthodox Christianity. It is not moralism. It is not intellectualism. It is not legalism. It is love incarnate.
To know Christ is to know you are loved even at your worst.
In a time when many fall away from faith because they cannot ‘prove’ God, the Orthodox Christian remains steadfast. Not because they have all the answers, but because they have the relationship. They have seen the face of Christ in the Eucharist, in prayer, in the suffering of others, in the silence of the soul.
And this love doesn’t need validation. It doesn’t need applause. It just needs Christ. When someone chooses Christ, they may be mocked. They may be called irrational, emotional, or backward.
But none of that matters. Because love sees what the eyes cannot. Love walks where logic cannot tread.
So let the world say what it will. Let every philosophy rise and fall. Let every trend come and go.
Orthodoxy remains — because Orthodoxy is not an institution; it is a relationship. A relationship with the crucified and risen Christ. A relationship born of love, sustained by grace, and fulfilled in eternity.
That is why we go with Christ. Not because we figured it all out, but because He loved us first. And that love changes everything.
