"To say "I believe" is not simply to affirm something about God, but to entrust oneself to Him. It is an act that involves the whole existence of the human being - freedom, hope and expectation. Faith looks not only to what is given, but to what is promised; it opens the person toward the future of God, toward the Kingdom."
- Met. John D. Zizioulas

"All through his life Jesus was calling for faith, faith in himself, faith in God his Father, faith in the Gospel, faith in the Kingdom of God. The fundamental condition of the Christian life is faith, for with faith come hope and love and every good work and every good gift and power of the Holy Spirit. This is the doctrine of Christ, the apostles, and the Church."
- Fr. Thomas Hopko

"For Orthodoxy, faith in Christ, as Son of God, is not a Christological doctrine, but life itself."
