Booklet 2 of 12 from a series of talks given by Priest Daniel Sysoev entitled “How to Inherit Eternal Life.”

The essence of God is fully known to three alone: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. All others know only what God reveals to them about Himself, diminishing His power, as it were, in order to become accessible to us. We address Him by the names “He That Is,” “Ancient of Days,” “Life,” “Most Wise,” “Good,” and others, each of which emphasizes a particular facet of divine perfection. Through learning the names of the Most High, Whose existence is beyond comparison with anything in the universe, a person enters the crucible of meaning, and his understanding is enabled to enrich the whole world by supernatural revelations.
