The concept of the Divine Logos was influenced by Greek philosophy and Philo of Alexandria. The apologists thus present the Logos as a cosmic principle and a divine Illuminator, who has little in common with the historical person of Jesus of Nazareth. The Logos brings people knowledge that contributes to the salvation of their souls and strengthens their union with God. The entities created by the Logos possess the same Spirit, but they differ in their share in the divine Logos. Unfortunately, there exist also demons that prevent the establishment of a relationship with the Logos, trouble human minds, and direct them towards matter. However, thanks to the bond with the divine Logos, some follow the Holy Spirit. In cooperation with grace and through obedience to the Logos, such people can overcome death and obtain immortality in God.From their reflections on the divine Logos, we learn that individual beings owe their existence to the Logos and Wisdom of God. All creatures have been given the laws of the Logos so they can participate in life and rationality. Thanks to these special gifts, all created matter has a share in the divine nature. This participation is called the sacred law (νόμον ἅγιον) through which creatures remain in constant contact with their Creator and are sustained by the hand of God. This causes the entire universe to be purposefully and harmoniously interconnected. In addition, humans are called to a special unity with the Logos and to believe in Christ so they might be God’s instruments and preachers of the Truth. Thanks to the communion with the Logos, after the earthly life, each person can also receive immortality and eternal life. According to the apologists, the whole teaching of the divine Logos is best presented in the New Testament.
