Christ was so we may be, Christ did so we may do. Christ participated in our humanity, we all participated in Christs suffering out of His compassion for us, so now we must participate in Christ's divinity. this means theosis, becoming perfect like God is perfect, its a participation requiring effort on our part. faith is part of it, good works are part of it, but more than anything we must sacrifice everything to Christ like he sacrificed Himself for us. His life was the perfect yajna for His father on our behalf. we must make everything we do, even our suffering, an offering to God like Christ did.
