Sacraments Necessary For Salvation

The Holy Unction (Chrismation)
Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in
the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of
sins and you shall receive the gift of the Holy
Spirit Acts 238
Our whole spiritual life is just a response to
the work of the Holy Spirit within us.

The apostles were very careful regarding giving
the gift of the Holy Spirit to the believers. At
first, it was given by the laying of the hands of
the apostles.

  814-17
• The faith of the Ephesians Acts 19 2-6

The Sacrament of Eucharist

• Most assuredly, I say to you, unless you eat the
  flesh of the son of Man and drink His blood, you
  have no life in you John 653
• As Orthodox, we believe that the flesh of the
  Lord is ...given for us salvation, remission of
  sins, and eternal life to those who partake of
  Him

The Theological Explanation
We are saved from the original sin through baptism
But we still commit sins every day
Then we need the Holy Sacrifice as an atonement
for our sins

The Sacrament of Repentance and Confession

• He who covers his sins will not prosper, but
  whoever confesses and forsakes them will have
  mercy Proverbs 2813
• If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just
  to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all
  unrighteousness 1 John 19
• Unless you repent, you will all likewise perish
  Luke 133

Repentance makes us worthy of being washed and
cleansed by the Blood of Christ and thus be saved
