00:00We need then to get to know Jesus and make a real choice, a choice.
00:10I decide after learning about His gospel, after understanding what this implies in my life,
00:19I am committed to Jesus Christ and I am going to be his disciple, I am going to dedicate my whole life to his gospel.
00:28And obviously this is going to bring important changes for us.
00:37When I see couples getting married, I see that many of them don't make any changes in their lives.
00:45They want to continue treating each other and living as if they were a couple.
00:50And so he wants to have his day out and she wants to have her day out, with her friends of course.
00:55And they want to do many of the things they did as boyfriend and girlfriend.
01:00They are not willing to give up and make the adjustments that the new life entails.
01:07This is exactly what is happening in our Christianity today.
01:12We became Christians, but since we haven't made any commitment because we personally didn't,
01:18Well then, we simply don't comply with them.
01:22And then our life, which should be Christian, which should be as the Lord says in his word,
01:30It turns out there is a huge gap between what Jesus says in his gospel
01:36and what many of our Catholic Christians do.
01:39In other words, I am a Christian because I was baptized.
01:46However, in my life I do not bear witness to being so.
01:51I have not met Jesus.
01:53I am not in love with Christ.
01:57Could this be your case?
01:58That you are not in love with Christ.
02:03Deeply in love.
02:05And if one is not deeply in love with the Lord.
02:09If one is not deeply in love with a woman or a man.
02:13What prospects might this marriage have?
02:17Indeed.
02:18None.
02:19That's why we have so many failures in our marriages today.
02:24Because there are so many brothers and sisters who, with truly limited knowledge,
02:30very limited in the person,
02:32They decide to get married.
02:34Because they haven't made the decision to resign
02:39to that which would not allow me to have a good relationship with my husband or my wife.
02:45Jesus was very clear when he said
02:49Whoever wants to come after me,
02:52renounces himself.
02:55From there we can already realize
02:57that being a Christian is something
02:59that my life involves
03:01and that involves making decisions.
03:04Truly effective decisions
03:05serious, important.
03:08Without them we can never say that we are
03:11truly Christian.
03:12That's why it's important to start
03:16in a process
03:18well-founded
03:20of knowledge
03:21of that
03:22with which we are thinking
03:24to have a relationship
03:25lifelong.
03:27So that later our relationship
03:29don't end in failure
03:30And as often happens in Christianity today
03:33being
03:34the laughing of others.
03:36Those are the Christians.
03:39Those are the ones who come to change things.
03:40our world.
03:41Those are the ones who claim to be
03:44light and salt of the earth.
03:47People who leave bad shows.
03:50People who go to see indecent movies.
03:54People who use a vocabulary
03:55that sometimes a cart driver
03:57that would fall far short.
03:59Are those Christians?
04:03Well, the truth is, no.
04:06Those are not Christians.
04:09Those are the ones who
04:10They call themselves Christians.
