00:27Welcome
00:29to the virtual classroom of active evangelization in this interesting course on the letters
00:35From Saint Paul, we are in this part, concluding the topic of the Romans, his letter
00:44Throughout this section, we have been looking at Paul's letter to the Romans.
00:49Romans and Galatians, our last two letters that we had left to review and we are
00:54Looking now at the central themes, first the theological themes, and now I would like to enter
01:01In this section, I will discuss topics that I think are important to consider and that could lead us to...
01:08to a much more concrete application for our Christian life and the first topic that
01:15I propose that I take it from chapter 10, verses 9 to 17, which has to do with faith.
01:24comes
01:24Well, from listening to the word, if it ends in Romans 10:17, it is through listening, through the
01:30Preaching, as we are going to acquire that faith, we have chosen this topic from Romans because
01:37The Catechism of the Catholic Church, in number 183, clearly states that faith is necessary.
01:44For salvation, the Lord himself affirms: whoever believes and is baptized will be saved; whoever believes and is baptized will be saved.
01:51Don't believe, you will be condemned. That's how the evangelist Mark ends his gospel, right? So we have there
02:01We have already discussed so many times the necessity of faith for salvation, and that is why
02:09saint
02:09Paul is going to emphasize this in chapter 10, verses 9 through 17. The text says this is
02:19the
02:19The word we preach is that if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart, you will be saved.
02:27that God raised him from the dead, he will be saved because with the heart one believes and is justified.
02:33But with the mouth one confesses and is saved; so the scripture says, “Whoever trusts in him will not be saved.”
02:41will be
02:41Never disappointed, there is no difference between Jews and Gentiles, for the same Lord is Lord of all and blesses.
02:52abundantly to all who call on him, for everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.
03:00How can they call on him in whom they have not believed, and how can they believe in him of whom they have not heard, and how can they
03:10Iran
03:11If there is no one to preach to them, and who can preach unless sent, so it is written: How beautiful it is to receive
03:20The messenger who brings good news, however, not all Israelites accepted the good news
03:29Isaiah says, "Lord, who has believed our message?" So faith comes as a result of hearing the
03:39The message, and the message that is heard, is the word of Christ.
03:47We must recognize that there are many people who are far from faith, others have an incipient faith, or their
03:58There is simply a great indifference in our town; there are baptized people who do not know God.
04:05Nobody has introduced them properly here (emphasize the word "properly") I think that
04:13We've all received it in some way, but have we really made an adequate presentation?
04:21For each person at the right moment in their life, all of this leads to rejection or to...
04:27at least there is
04:27a great indifference among most Catholics; this was presented when we had
04:33We started our catechism six or seven years ago, and in catechism we were truly introduced to Jesus and to
04:39Did they simply teach us to memorize a series of principles, or were we taught their gospel?
04:47fundamentals of the faith, then I think the problem has to do with the fact that it hasn't been presented
04:53In this sense, Hans Urbón Baltazar appropriately reminds us that faith should not be taken for granted.
05:02but a proposal, but who will go? Faith, says Saint Paul, comes from listening when we read the scriptures.
05:13From the New Testament, two things become very clear regarding salvation.
05:19The first thing is that this cannot be achieved unless men expose themselves to the
05:26The truth of God revealed in the scriptures means that those who are far away must believe in order to be saved, and how
05:34It has already been made clear that justification is a grace that comes to us through faith.
05:40In Romans, chapter 6, verse 17, St. Paul tells us, "But thanks be to God that although..."
05:48They were once slaves to sin, but now they have wholeheartedly submitted to the teaching that was passed on to them.
05:58Paul is viewing the believers here as men and women who were slaves to sin, but
06:05who have now been freed from this slavery through obedience to the faith, that is to say
06:12The gospel: obedience to faith is obedience to the gospel; they obeyed wholeheartedly.
06:19form of doctrine to which they had been exposed, so the first thing we need to do is explain
06:27to bring people to faith, to the gospel; hence the Bible courses, the evangelization courses, all of this
06:35is
06:35This exposes us to the Gospel message, and from there the work of the Spirit will begin in us.
06:43The heart that will gradually push us to live this faith is the acceptance of the gospel, it is acceptance
06:51of faith, that is, we present a doctrine before their eyes and they, faced with this beauty and before
07:00I see this in the Bible and evangelization courses I teach there in my parish or
07:08be it
07:08People embrace them wholeheartedly; the message is fascinating when it's properly presented.
07:16It comes from a personal experience of the person who enriches the message as someone who has loved him.
07:23He has accepted it, he lives it, and this gives him the necessary perspective for people to embrace it.
07:30and begin to live properly according to the gospel; faith is not born in a vacuum but in the context of
07:39Listen to the truth of God revealed in His word. The word of God is the seed that once was
07:46implanted in the heart produces fruit, some says Jesus in Matthew 13, some a hundredfold, others seventy, and
07:57Others at 30 to one, but in all cases it produces when planted properly, and when not, as it says
08:04This same parable applies because the seeds are either eaten by the birds or they dry up quickly because they lack [something].
08:12the earth or are absorbed by the thorns and finally perish; this truth of the gospel
08:21We can make it known through a book, or through a casual conversation, or through
08:28a
08:28pamphlet. In fact, the Bible says that believers must always be prepared to give an account of their faith.
08:36for a long time before entering the seminary, even after having entered the seminary
08:41I set about making some pamphlets that had the querygma explained, and when I had to go downtown to
08:50When she went shopping or anything, she always carried some pamphlets in her little backpack and handed them out to the
08:57Truck drivers, there's always an opportunity to share this message so that people can see it.
09:03Listen so that people may know him; the believer must always be ready to share the gospel
09:12with anyone willing to listen, even
09:17says the apostle
09:20with time and without time, with opportunity and without it
09:26We must always encourage this reading, this preaching, because it is precisely through it that...
09:35We expose people to the message of Jesus Christ, and this message is as we saw it in our class.
09:41The past is a force of salvation for others and God will bless His word, but the means by
09:51The excellence that God chose to save us is the folly of preaching, as the apostle says in
09:58His first letter to the Corinthians says if you would like to join us (1 Corinthians 1:21).
10:06Since the world through its own wisdom does not know God, in his divine wisdom God willed
10:14to save believers through the folly of preaching
10:20Brothers, God has determined to save men through the preaching of the gospel; this is the work
10:28The primary thing is that God has called us to be as Christians; in this sense, Paul VI said everything
10:35Those baptized by force of baptism are obliged to preach the living and resurrected Jesus Christ; we must
10:44to convince ourselves that nothing in the world can change the heart of man except the gospel
10:51of our Lord Jesus Christ, but I insist, how will they believe, how will they hear, says the apostle, if no one tells them
10:59We can preach, we can discuss philosophy, psychology, sociology, we can have beautiful oratory and
11:10a brilliant intellect, enough to leave anyone who listens to us speechless, but
11:17None of that will be able to transform a single heart, nor will the most wondrous miracles be able to do so.
11:26I have seen wondrous miracles, and they don't change the heart; they bring the person back to their life.
11:34Ordinary preaching must be continuous; it is the preaching that changes, the word says.
11:41And the word is unequivocal, that is, what God has left us there is unequivocal if we realize it.
11:51this
11:51The topic of miracles was something the Jews themselves were looking for; they didn't want to hear about it.
12:00If they spent all their time demanding that the man perform a miracle for them to believe in him, it's not...
12:07by
12:07Miracles are not believed in through mere belief, but through preaching; however, they did not listen to him as they do today.
12:14Nor do we still expect miracles today, even though the priest who performs miracles and heals and all that.
12:19The other thing, and there they go for the miracle and all the catechism and everything he said and everything
12:24that he preached
12:26We're not interested; we're waiting for the final part so the priest can come and lay his hands on it.
12:31The prayer for healing and everything else is discarded. Oh, how beautiful, Father, and this, and he was healed, and there was
12:38healings
12:41And people don't convert because they don't listen to the preaching, and it is through preaching that they
12:48Faith comes into play, but if what we're waiting for is only healing, if it's just a miracle, then...
12:54We're not going to make it. Let's stop here. We'll continue in our next section.
13:00all the best
13:30Thank you.
14:00Thank you.
