00:30Hello dear brothers and sisters! Welcome to our virtual classroom, the virtual classroom for active evangelization. We are now finishing this study we have been doing on the Pauline writings, and in this fourth module, we will delve deeper and reflect on Pauline spirituality.
00:52Our school differs from other biblical schools in that the important thing is not only to study the scriptures as we do in a scientific way, but also to know a little about how each of the books is structured, their sources, in short, everything that is necessary to be able to delve deeper into our texts, but above all the spiritual aspect.
01:20And here we're going to find a great mine, we're going to find real gold in this section that we'll be reviewing in the next eight lessons.
01:30So, well, today we begin with the first one where we're going to talk about conversion as an encounter with Christ that will lead us, contrary to what we sometimes think, to death, but it's a death that ultimately gives life, remembering what Jesus said: if a grain of wheat does not die, it remains unfruitful.
01:58So let's begin today this first chapter where we will see that for Paul, life in Christ is truly a gain, that is, death is not something terrible, but rather what ultimately prepares us to participate eternally with him.
02:20So, well, one of the fundamental teachings of the first Christian catechesis is the requirement of conversion.
02:30This makes sense to us because we see that from the beginning of their preaching, both John, John the Baptist, and Jesus make this invitation, an invitation to conversion.
02:42Repent, for the kingdom of heaven has come; moreover, Jesus himself makes it essential to be able to follow him.
02:53This will be the task that Jesus will entrust to his apostles and on which the salvation of men will depend, for he tells us.
03:03I invite you to go now to our text, let's go to Mark 16, 16 and in Mark 16, 16 it tells us.
03:13And well, this belief, as we have already made clear in everything we have seen about Saint Paul, was understood by the Christian community as a duty.
03:33That is, as a follow-up to the gospel, which will represent a radical life change that will be understood as metanoia for non-Jews and as shuv for Jews.
03:48It will mean adhering radically to the teachings of Jesus Christ.
03:53So when we say testify, what we are talking about is not only spoken testimony, but the testimony of our entire life.
04:06In other words, the one who refuses to believe.
04:09We could paraphrase that text from Mark: whoever refuses to live a Christian life, to live according to the teachings of Jesus, is the one who will ultimately be condemned.
04:20We can say that this will be the nerve center of the entire apostolic mission described by the Acts of the Apostles.
04:29Conversion is indeed the fundamental, all-encompassing requirement by which men enter into the presence of God and by which they are called to respond to the gospel of Jesus Christ, to God's message of salvation in their time.
04:47Conversion is directly linked to the response of men and women to Jesus' announcement about the arrival of the kingdom and, therefore, to faith in the message of salvation.
04:59It is not just a preparation for a condition for faith as it was in the Old Testament, even in the message of John the Baptist.
05:11It is rather the logical and joyful reaction of man to the loving and saving action of God.
05:19Thus, the New Testament conversion takes place in faith, and faith itself is already conversion as a complete obedience to God who makes himself present in Christ.
05:33Furthermore, being so closely linked to faith, conversion is presented as a dynamic process of eschatological projection that affects all human dimensions,
05:48moral, religious, personal, and collective.
05:53In other words, when we talk about conversion, we are talking about something that will affect all areas of my life.
06:03and not only, then, the religious area that we generally refer to.
06:09A person says, "I've already converted, I go to Mass, I've already converted, now I'm going to confession more often."
06:18I have already converted, and it is always related to religious situations.
06:24The conversion must also affect our social life; people have to see us as new men and women.
06:33It has to affect our relationship with our spouse if we are married, with our children if we have children,
06:41With our parents, if we have parents, there has to be a change, a conversion, to convert, to transform myself.
06:50And that transformation has to be visible, and that is what this text of Mark 16:16 refers to.
06:59In other words, when I say I have faith, it's because I have works, as the apostle James will say in his chapter 2,
07:06Faith without works is dead faith; that is the testimony we are referring to.
07:14That is the true conversion, the one that affects all areas of my life.
07:19the financial aspect, how I spend money, our recreational side,
07:26where I go, what kind of show I see, or listen to, in short, everything is converted.
07:34Therefore, we can say that conversion is ultimately the central concept of the stance demanded by Jesus.
07:43There is no conversion, there is no Christian life.
07:46That is why St. Paul's thinking on conversion falls within this same perspective.
07:54although, as we shall see, it acquires its own characteristics.
07:58The life of this privileged witness to the early days of Christianity
08:03It was marked precisely by her personal experience on the road to Damascus,
08:09when he went from being a zealous persecutor of Christians
08:13to a privileged witness of Christ and apostle to the nations.
08:17The encounter with Christ in his life will mark a turning point that will radically change him.
08:25To put it another way, it will transform the apostle's life
08:28and will make him an instrument of grace.
08:33Without this experience, without this conversion suffered by the apostle,
08:38if this hadn't happened in his life,
08:40Saint Paul would have continued to be a zealous religious man,
08:45But he had never become the saint and instrument of God's grace.
08:51Without this experience and understanding of what happened in Damascus,
08:56It would be difficult to understand his theology and the new lifestyle that characterizes him.
09:03That's why it's easier to understand Paul.
09:05when our life has already taken the first step,
09:08when the kerygma is already part of our Christian life.
09:13This encounter with Jesus develops,
09:16by the power of the Holy Spirit,
09:18to the new man,
09:20to man in Christ.
09:22Pablo's experience,
09:24which is the starting point
09:25to understand what true conversion means,
09:29It is fundamental to us in our study
09:31and in this part of Pauline spirituality.
09:35From the Acts of the Apostles
09:38and from the Pauline writings,
09:40It follows that before his conversion,
09:42Saint Paul was a harsh persecutor
09:44of the first Christian community.
09:46This leads us to see
09:47that the conversion indeed
09:49It presents itself not only as a shub,
09:52compliance with the law,
09:53like a return to God's law.
09:56I mean,
09:57Paul did not return to the law of God,
09:59He was a faithful
10:00follower of this law,
10:03but it does not appear
10:05in a true change of course,
10:08in a new understanding
10:10of the law and of life
10:11in every sense.
10:14Paul was converted,
10:16not only did he align his life.
10:18We can see that this conversion
10:20in fact
10:20points out
10:21how the approval
10:24of Esteban's death
10:25wreaked havoc
10:26in the church.
10:29He entered through the houses,
10:31was taken by force
10:32to men and women
10:34and he put them in jail.
10:37In addition,
10:38in his personal apology
10:39addressed to the Galatians,
10:41confesses the perversity
10:43from his past life.
10:46Pablo
10:46He was a different man.
10:49Pablo,
10:49in the experience of Damascus,
10:51It transforms completely.
10:54That's where it begins
10:56a new life.
10:58Paul's past life,
11:00this one that he tells us about
11:02in Galatians,
11:03this one that we
11:04we have reference
11:05for the events
11:06of the apostles,
11:08It culminates in Damascus.
11:09God
11:10penetrates his heart,
11:12He doesn't call him
11:13to live by the law,
11:15but he calls him
11:15to follow him.
11:17And this will do it
11:18understand the law
11:19in a way
11:20different.
11:21Let's look at the testimony
11:24of Paul.
11:25Let's look at this text
11:27of Galatians.
11:28Let's go to Galatians
11:291.13,
11:30where Paul
11:31He speaks to us precisely
11:32from old Paul,
11:34of that Paul
11:35what is
11:36the one who destroys
11:38the church,
11:39the one who destroys
11:40the Christian life.
11:42Let's go then
11:43And let's read the text.
11:44from Galatians
11:451.13
11:46and tells us
11:47They already know
11:51of my behavior
11:52former
11:52in Judaism
11:53how ruthlessly
11:56pursued
11:57to the church
11:57of God
11:58and it devastated her.
12:00You see.
12:01this text
12:01my brothers.
12:04A text
12:05where
12:05he recognizes
12:07which was
12:08another man.
12:10These same
12:11sources
12:11testify
12:13the fact
12:13of his sudden
12:14transformation
12:16in apostle
12:16of Jesus Christ
12:17wrought by God
12:19at that meeting
12:21in that
12:21path
12:22to Damascus.
12:24With what we were saying
12:25a moment ago
12:26if we take
12:27as an example
12:27of the conversion
12:28the experience
12:29of Saint Paul
12:30we would then have
12:32that accept
12:33that this is born
12:34of a meeting
12:36with Christ
12:36which actually
12:38It is a
12:39inner revelation
12:40where
12:41the man
12:42it is discovered
12:43beloved
12:44and freed
12:45Oh my God.
12:46This is the reason
12:47for which
12:48It's so important
12:49the kerigma
12:50because
12:51the kerigma
12:53is the one that
12:54will lead to
12:55is going to propose
12:56in us
12:57that experience
12:58from Damascus.
12:59It's the one that suits us
13:00to help
13:00that God
13:02between
13:03in a way
13:04special
13:05to our heart
13:06and show us
13:08his love.
13:09Show us
13:10this love
13:10that we already know
13:11in catechesis
13:13Because if we know
13:14that God
13:14It's love
13:15and we can read
13:16a lot about
13:17Corinthians 13
13:18and we will be able to find out
13:20a lot about this
13:21but really
13:22the man
13:23has to experience
13:24that God loves him
13:25and that gives it a
13:26different understanding
13:27to their relationship
13:28with God
13:28and obviously
13:29their relationship
13:30with the world
13:31with all the people
13:33that without it
13:34we wouldn't have.
13:36It is about
13:37so
13:37on the one hand
13:38of a Christophany
13:40in which
13:41the Lord Jesus
13:42it was revealed
13:43somehow
13:44Saul
13:45through
13:46of a light
13:46coming from heaven.
13:48On the other hand
13:49It was an illustration
13:51about the
13:52unit
13:53of the divine plan
13:54of salvation
13:55about humanity
13:57God
13:58which reveals
13:59now to his Son
14:00which
14:01is God
14:02creator
14:03Lord of History
14:04and faithful
14:05to the alliance
14:06with Israel.
14:06That's it.
14:09to God
14:10that Saul
14:11It has always been useful
14:13but now
14:14it manifests
14:15in a way
14:16different
14:17wonderful
14:18now
14:18at a moment
14:19understands
14:20things
14:21that for him
14:21they were only
14:23read
14:23They were experiences
14:25past
14:25They were history
14:27of his town
14:28Now that story
14:29it comes to life in him
14:31that God
14:33in which he believed
14:34now he tells her
14:35his love
14:36and it manifests
14:37completely
14:38in this way
14:39Trinitarian
14:40that all of us
14:41We also have
14:42that experience
14:43if truly
14:44we want our life
14:45be oriented
14:46focus
14:47to a relationship
14:48safe with God
14:50and?
14:51can produce
14:53in us
14:53the real
14:54conversion
14:55we could say
14:57that somehow
14:58inside
15:00from Paul
15:00as it should be
15:01in us
15:01it was revealed to him
15:03the value
15:04salvific
15:05of death
15:06and resurrection
15:07of Jesus
15:08the Messiah
15:09in God's plan
15:11and provided him
15:12a new vision
15:14of history
15:14of salvation
15:15with the inauguration
15:17of the era
15:17messianic
15:18and the wait
15:19of its realization
15:21final
15:22This is what
15:22Paul understands
15:24at one blow
15:25at the moment
15:26of that demonstration
15:28that has
15:28there in Damascus
15:30the fact
15:31that the meeting
15:33with Jesus Christ
15:34resurrected
15:34the Messiah
15:35in whom they are fulfilled
15:37the prophecies
15:38It will blind him
15:39sample
15:40externally
15:42their inner blindness
15:43in the face of truth
15:44of Christ
15:44already in different
15:46forms
15:47I have made it clear
15:48that blindness
15:49in the gospels
15:50and in general
15:51in the New Testament
15:52It is a sign
15:53external
15:54of the lack of faith
15:55of being blind
15:57in the light of God
15:58That is why
15:59that only
16:00when Paul
16:01receives baptism
16:02this recovers
16:03the view
16:04fulfilling
16:05in it
16:05physically
16:07what theologically
16:09has been done
16:09at baptism
16:10in this sense
16:12points out
16:14Benedict XVI
16:15in his hearing
16:16general
16:16September 3rd
16:17from 2008
16:18that can
16:19and we must talk
16:20of a conversion
16:22see
16:23see
16:25is to be converted
16:26a person
16:28converted
16:29you'll see
16:30to his wife
16:31different
16:31to their children
16:33your work
16:34you'll see
16:36the relationship
16:37economic
16:38in a way
16:39different
16:40everything transforms
16:42we begin
16:43really
16:44let's see
16:45And that's why
16:47It is important
16:48this experience
16:49in Paul
16:50and it has to be
16:51also an experience
16:52in us
16:53to be able to see
16:54if we
16:55we continue watching
16:56things
16:57as we saw them
16:58always
16:59if for us
17:00marriage
17:01that's what it's been
17:02always
17:03if our relationship
17:04with the money
17:05it has always been
17:06equal
17:07if it hasn't changed
17:08nothing
17:09so
17:10oh
17:10I come from
17:12of a family
17:13in which my conversion
17:14it's already
17:15imbued
17:17It's something that I
17:18I was a mother
17:19It's something that I
17:19I received
17:21directly
17:21from a very young age
17:23either
17:24I have not converted
17:26I mean
17:27if there is no change
17:28either
17:29I'm already here
17:30converted
17:31And that's why
17:32well
17:33I can't see
17:34no matter how much I continue
17:35moving forward
17:36in my spiritual life
17:37I can't see
17:38different things
17:39Well, that means
17:40that my life
17:41that's it
17:42converted
17:42I'm just moving forward
17:44in understanding
17:45and in the depths
17:46or
17:48If I see
17:49which also
17:51of taking
17:52classes
17:52and from this course
17:53from the Bible
17:54and of I don't know what
17:54so many stories
17:55in the church
17:56And I don't see it.
17:57different from my wife
17:58to my children
17:59the relationship with money
18:00my relationship
18:01with this
18:02with my work
18:03society
18:04and it doesn't change
18:05brother
18:06You haven't become
18:07has not entered
18:09this light
18:09in your life
18:10and you keep watching
18:10things
18:11as usual
18:12You've seen them
18:13and so?
18:14It's not conversion
18:15we can say
18:16without place
18:17to make mistakes
18:18that the meeting
18:19with Jesus Christ
18:20transforms
18:22his thinking
18:22and his life
18:23This is the point
18:25from the start
18:26of the conversion
18:26of the transformation
18:28deep
18:29that must suffer
18:30every man
18:31living
18:32in the kingdom
18:32without this meeting
18:35staff
18:35and transformative
18:37we cannot say
18:39that exists
18:39In fact
18:40a Christian life
18:42the proof is
18:44that now
18:45the man
18:45go
18:46doesn't see
18:48because there isn't one
18:50conversion
18:50That's the proof
18:51if everything continues
18:53equal
18:54because there isn't one
18:55conversion
18:56the person
18:58see things
18:59in a way
19:00different
19:01when it becomes
19:02I can do this for you
19:04I say
19:05I can tell you
19:06anyone
19:06that there is
19:07already experienced
19:08this
19:09this meeting
19:11staff
19:11with Christ
19:12And this is what I would like
19:13that it was a fort
19:14motivating
19:15for you
19:15so that
19:16all this study
19:18that we are doing
19:19Let's not forget
19:20only
19:20in things
19:22mental
19:23in erudition
19:25but
19:26truly
19:27I'll take you
19:27to the meeting
19:28with Christ
19:29And if you don't have it
19:30if everything you have
19:31studied here
19:32with us
19:32he hasn't
19:33provided
19:34Keep looking for it

19:47I want to see
19:48all things
19:50renewed
19:51inside me
19:51this conversion
19:54It is the one that leads us
19:55to a transformation
19:56in all areas
19:58of our life
19:59and this
20:00Well, obviously
20:01it is obvious
20:02for the others
20:03people
20:04He's going to ask us
20:05What happened to you?
20:07What happened in your life?
20:08You are not
20:10the same person
20:11that he knew
20:12and this
20:13the greater the distance
20:14is
20:15in time
20:16I mean
20:16if I have left
20:17from seeing a person
20:18for one week
20:19probably
20:19He doesn't notice.
20:20But I have left her.
20:21of seeing a month
20:22two months
20:22one year
20:23three years
20:24will say
20:24You are a person
20:26new
20:27different
20:28I don't recognize you
20:30there have been
20:31a conversion
20:32and this
20:34occurs
20:34precisely
20:35through a process
20:37of death
20:38that leads me
20:39to a change
20:40that is to say
20:41I'm dying from certain things
20:42and I am reborn
20:43to others
20:44for Pablo
20:45everything it has
20:48what to do with Christ
20:49is related
20:50with death
20:51death
20:53grave
20:54and resurrection
20:55of Christ
20:56not as concepts
20:58but as a
20:59life experience
21:00Pablo has died
21:02with Christ
21:03has been
21:04buried
21:05with the
21:05and has been reborn
21:07now being
21:08by force
21:08of the Holy Spirit
21:09a new
21:10creature
21:12we can say
21:14paraphrasing
21:15Rodney
21:15Reeves
21:16that in general
21:17men
21:18we are looking for
21:19learn
21:20how to live
21:21while Jesus
21:22in his gospel
21:23It teaches us
21:24how to die
21:26to die
21:27a bit
21:28daily
21:29the conversion
21:31It is death
21:32It is death
21:33of that man
21:34old
21:35which gives rise to
21:36to the man
21:37new
21:37die
21:39and bury
21:40in order to be able to
21:41from there
21:42resurrect
21:43and this
21:44that's what
21:45Pablo's name is Pablo
21:46a sacrifice
21:48alive
21:48this change
21:50radical
21:50in the person
21:51makes understand
21:52that everything that
21:54there are in the world
21:55if you compare
21:56with Christ
21:56and what it offers
21:58the Christian life
21:59result
22:00truly
22:01negligible
22:02Let's listen
22:03what it tells us
22:04the apostle Paul
22:05in his letter
22:06to the Philippians
22:06I invite you
22:07let's see
22:08in your Bible
22:09Philippians
22:103.8
22:10we read
22:14the text
22:14what does it tell us?
22:15all that
22:17considered
22:18valuable
22:18is now
22:19trash
22:20siblings
22:24This represents
22:26In fact
22:26a death
22:27to all that
22:29who is not God
22:29things
22:32in themselves
22:32lose value
22:33nevertheless
22:34which are good
22:35I can't say
22:37that my car
22:38be bad
22:39or having money
22:41be bad
22:41or be married
22:42be bad
22:43No
22:43but they lose
22:46that dimension
22:48which I had previously
22:49and now
22:50everything changes
22:51and becomes
22:53completely
22:54well
22:55secondary
22:56not to mention
22:57negligible
22:58but at least
22:58yes secondary
22:59This leads to the person
23:01to experience true freedom
23:03of the children of God
23:04I am no longer tied down
23:06that car
23:06nor to that house
23:07not even that money
23:08nor to anything
23:09alive
23:10in freedom
23:11of the children of God
23:12It has everything
23:14but actually
23:15one lives
23:16as if there was nothing.
23:18Therefore
23:19Saint Paul
23:20invites the Corinthians
23:21to live
23:22this freedom
23:24these Corinthians
23:25that always
23:25as you may recall
23:26when we saw
23:26the topic
23:27of the Corinthians
23:28because they lived
23:29in a port
23:29full
23:30of satisfiers
23:32where life
23:33of Corinth
23:34it was then
23:35going to Corinth
23:36having a good time
23:37not anymore
23:39it's no longer of interest
23:40now
23:41our perspective
23:42is God
23:42our perspective
23:43is Christ
23:44true that
23:46he
23:46I was expecting
23:48the end
23:48of the times
23:49as something imminent
23:50however
23:52reality
23:53It's because he doesn't value it.
23:54to that
23:55that he doesn't wear it
23:56to live
23:56with greater privacy
23:58with Christ
23:59with who
23:59He is crucified
24:01He crucified himself
24:03with the
24:03He died
24:05with the
24:05he buried
24:07he was buried
24:08with the
24:08and has
24:10reborn
24:11has been
24:14a transformation
24:15in Christ
24:16And that's why
24:17writes
24:18to the Galatians
24:19one of the quotes
24:21that at least
24:22for me
24:22It is truly
24:23very very important
24:25I would like us to read it
24:26together
24:26It is Galatians
24:282.20
24:29Let's go
24:30to our text
24:31says
24:36the apostle
24:37and I am no longer myself
24:39who lives
24:40but it is Christ
24:42who lives in me
24:43and life
24:44that I now live
24:45in the body
24:46I live it through my faith.
24:48in the Son of God
24:49who loved me
24:50and surrendered
24:51to death
24:52for me
24:53so that
24:54this text
24:55he mentions
24:57the importance
24:58centrality
25:00of Christ
25:01in his life
25:01and how
25:02He has died
25:04with the
25:04And that's why
25:05things already
25:06of this world
25:07the truth
25:08They're not interested
25:09all
25:11important
25:11all
25:12valuable
25:13for Pablo
25:14will be
25:15united
25:16to Christ
25:17and I would like
25:19centralize a little
25:20on the topic
25:20of
25:20I am no longer myself
25:22who lives
25:22but Christ
25:23the one who lives in me
25:24that is the foundation
25:26Christ
25:26that lives within us
25:27and well
25:29to talk about this
25:30we would have to talk
25:31of baptism
25:32baptism
25:34the conversion
25:35is actually
25:37the beginning
25:38of a new life
25:39the old man
25:41with all its ties
25:43dies
25:44and begin a new experience
25:45in the love of God
25:46about this
25:48He had already told us
25:49Jesus
25:49in the gospel
25:51of San Juan
25:51in chapter 3
25:52you will remember
25:54the dialogue
25:54with Nicodemus
25:55that in verse 3
25:57he tells us
25:58You have to be born
25:59again
26:00that is to say
26:01we need to be
26:02a new creature
26:03It's not that we're going to go in
26:04to the belly
26:05of our mother
26:06but the Holy Spirit
26:08It will transform us
26:10It's going to change us
26:11completely
26:12and it will make us
26:12a new creature
26:14and within this
26:16we need to see
26:17what is the process
26:18And that's why I would like now
26:20talk a little bit
26:21in the end
26:22of our topic
26:23about the meaning
26:24of the cross
26:25in the conversion
26:26because it is the way
26:27which will allow us
26:29to die to the world
26:30to pass
26:34to this new state
26:35the proposal
26:36It is death
26:37that Paul
26:38will identify
26:38with the cross
26:39or as he says
26:40to be crucified
26:42the conversion
26:43in Paul
26:44It's not adding
26:45something to his life
26:46or propose
26:48add something
26:49to our life
26:49but change
26:51radically
26:52our life
26:53I mean
26:54our past life
26:55He has to be crucified
26:57He has to die
26:59to the past life
27:00It's not that
27:01just as I am
27:02And now I'm getting ready
27:03a pin
27:04and next week
27:05I'll put on another pin
27:06and I'll be right back
27:07with a sack
27:07black
27:08and next week
27:09I'm coming with one
27:10blue
27:10and into this bag
27:11I put
27:12and him
27:12No
27:12it's not adding
27:15to our life
27:16That's what he wants
27:17the Christian
27:18I'm going now
27:19to mass
27:19I'm confessing now.
27:21add
27:22I didn't go before
27:23I'm coming now.
27:24What did I do?
27:25I didn't go to mass
27:26I added the mass
27:28awesome
27:29No
27:30No sir.
27:32you are not
27:33converted
27:34a person
27:35that only
27:36goes to mass
27:36that person
27:37It is not converted
27:38He is a Catholic
27:39more than thousands
27:40and millions
27:41that is in the world
27:41but it is not converted
27:43to be Christian
27:44is crucifying
27:45life
27:46It is dying
27:47is to be a
27:48new person
27:49do not add
27:50nothing
27:50That's why I said
27:52Rips
27:52people
27:54thinks he needs to be taught
27:57to live
27:58And Jesus teaches us
28:00the way to die
28:01because it is from death
28:03from where we are reborn
28:05if the grain of wheat
28:06does not die
28:07It does not bear fruit.
28:08the crucifixion
28:10makes our world
28:11turn upside down
28:13because?
28:15because
28:15because what used to be important
28:18ceases to be
28:19and what it wasn't
28:21it's starting to be
28:22It's not that I add
28:25go to mass
28:25Maybe it was already going
28:27But now the mass
28:30has a new
28:31significance
28:33now the mass
28:34It truly begins
28:35to be important
28:36I used to do it.
28:37because there was a precept
28:38that marked me
28:39that I had to go to mass
28:40Sundays
28:41I'm going now
28:42because that's where I am
28:43with my lord
28:44my relationship with my wife
28:46with the children
28:47all
28:48I didn't add anything to it
28:50it transformed
28:52That's it.
28:53death
28:53Resurrection
28:54Passover
28:55the cross
28:57then it is presented
28:58like the path
28:59The path to what?
29:01the way to go
29:02losing their lives
29:03to go
29:05relativizing
29:06all
29:07in order
29:08to the life of heaven
29:09which would
29:10well
29:11the vision
29:12of resurrection
29:12we're going in
29:14to a process
29:15of death
29:16a process
29:17of crucifixion
29:18that it will give us
29:19as a result
29:19life
29:20the new life
29:21the Christian
29:23it thus becomes
29:24in the dead
29:25that smell good
29:26come on
29:27says Pablo
29:28we are spreading
29:30the pleasant aroma
29:31of the gospel
29:32that is, our life
29:33testifies
29:34our life
29:35represents
29:36help people
29:38Let's see something
29:38who doesn't see
29:39We are the dead
29:41that smell good
29:42dead to the world
29:44but alive
29:45for Christ
29:46and so it spreads
29:48this pleasant aroma
29:49of Christ
29:50around the world
29:51which would
29:52of this world
29:53if this aroma
29:54if this were
29:56scattered
29:57all over the world
29:58if people
29:59I saw
30:00in us
30:01those men
30:02and those women
30:03new
30:03life would be
30:05completely
30:07different
30:07the conversion
30:09as a process
30:11unfinished
30:12in Christianity
30:13that is, the conversion
30:15It's something
30:15what happens
30:17and that's it
30:18That's where it ends
30:19I mean
30:20the conversion
30:21It's something
30:22that will last
30:24our whole life
30:25have
30:27some texts
30:28that tell us
30:29about that
30:29could review
30:30first
30:31of Thessalonians
30:32Chapter 4
30:34first 8 verses
30:36or perhaps Romans
30:37Chapter 12
30:39the first
30:4011 verses
30:41That's where we meet.
30:42account
30:43that this
30:44It's something
30:45that begins
30:46but that
30:47He's walking
30:49in our life
30:49the conversion
30:52it is presented
30:53so
30:54in the Christian life
30:55And he understood it that way.
30:56Saint Paul
30:57like a
30:58process
30:59that is to say
31:00a process
31:01that never ends
31:02always is
31:03growing
31:04always goes
31:07moving forward
31:08Yeah
31:09It's not something
31:10static
31:11no one can say
31:12I have already converted
31:13yes indeed
31:14I'm already converted
31:14No
31:15We can always say
31:18We are in the process
31:19father
31:20and you have already become
31:22No
31:22I am in the process
31:25conversion
31:26I'm making progress
31:27in this process
31:28That's what he tells her.

31:36Let's read it together
31:37so that
31:38we can

34:33and a half
34:34no new man
34:35It's a lie.
34:37that person

34:53heart
34:54It keeps coming out
34:55the same
34:56trash
34:56that has come out
34:57always
34:58Let us remember
35:00that we are
35:00in a boat
35:02that sails
35:03in the sense
35:04contrary
35:04to the current
35:05and if it is left
35:07rowing
35:07invariably
35:09we will retreat
35:11There are many
35:13those who
35:13know
35:14in this situation
35:15many
35:16those who
35:16they begin
35:17his life
35:18Christian
35:18with a lot
35:19decision
35:20they leave

35:25well convert
35:27in true
35:28new men

35:35they stop confessing
35:37stop reading
35:39the holy scripture
35:40and again
35:42We're leaving
35:44arranging
35:45to the world

35:54us
35:54we will accommodate
35:55to the world
35:56with which
35:58our life
35:59will deteriorate
36:00quickly
36:01and let's go
36:03to return
36:03to stadiums
36:04life
36:05that we had already
36:06overcome
36:07the conversion
36:10It's a crisis
36:12But it's a crisis
36:15carrying
36:16a process
36:17I mean
36:19the conversion
36:20it puts us
36:20in crisis
36:20siblings
36:21is really
36:22a crisis
36:23terrible
36:24the conversion
36:25because we have to
36:26die to everything
36:26what happened
36:27we have to endure
36:28the criticisms
36:29etc
36:30through Christ
36:33at once
36:35by all
36:35We have been given
36:37a new
36:38position
36:39in the new
36:40creation
36:40of God
36:41But day by day
36:43by faith
36:44we must go
36:46appropriating
36:47of everything that
36:48Christ won
36:49on the cross
36:49And he gave it to us.
36:50the word
36:52of God
36:52renews
36:53our minds
36:54according to
36:55as we
36:56Let us surrender
36:57him
36:58day by day
36:59as it tells us
37:01Saint Paul
37:01in his letter
37:02to the Romans
37:03No
37:04get settled
37:05to things
37:07of the world
37:07which is nothing else
37:09than an echo
37:10of those words
37:11of Jesus
37:12in San Juan
37:13sanctify them
37:15in your word
37:16your word
37:18it's the truth
37:19as we go
37:22understanding
37:23the word
37:24of God
37:24in addition
37:25gradually
37:27we will be
37:27transformed
37:28through the spirit
37:29holy
37:30this transformation
37:32brings a
37:33renewal
37:34and this renewal
37:35entails
37:36to a life
37:37completely
37:38transformed
37:40to a life
37:40changed
37:41it is said
37:43that physically
37:44we are what
37:45we eat
37:46it isn't true
37:46but spiritually
