Archbishop Dimitry (Muretov)
Throw a man who bears in himself the riches of the Heavenly world—the Kingdom of God—into the remotest corner of the earth and surround him with all possible disasters—and nothing will shake the inner peace of his spirit, for the Divine light, life, and power are always and everywhere inseparable from him.
In this perfect harmony between lips and heart, internal and external life, does true faith consist; from this proceeds our justification and salvation: That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved (Rom. 10:9).
