In his teaching to monks, St. Athanasius emphasizes the necessity of abstaining from sin and worldly distractions to become a true disciple of Christ. He argues that one must first seek forgiveness and liberation from sin before committing to the Lord's service. Athanasius underscores the importance of self-denial and patience in the face of temptations, asserting that true discipleship involves a complete renunciation of worldly possessions and relationships that conflict with faith. He encourages perseverance in spiritual struggles, promising eternal life and rewards for those who remain steadfast in their commitment to God.
