'''''Theosis''''', meaning '''''deification''''' or '''''divinization''''', is the process of man becoming [[holy]] and being united with God, beginning in this life and later consummated in the [[resurrection]]. ''Theosis'' is the understanding that humans are made to share in the life of the Trinity from the beginning. Therefore, we are saved '''from ''' sin '''for ''' participation in the life of the Trinity, which is life-giving and therefore eternal.
