01:00And it is indeed important for our brother Paul that he dedicates practically seven chapters of his letter to the Romans to speak only about this very important topic that affects us and for which we need the help of our Lord.
01:21In the Pauline writings, he leaves us very important elements to help us advance in our life of grace.
01:28As we discussed in the previous topic, Saint Paul in most of his letters dedicates himself to correcting the errors of the community and in many cases, especially in Romans and Corinthians, making them understand that sin is the instrument of the devil to destroy our relationship with God and ruin the life of each of the elect.
01:49That is why one of the elements of spirituality in Saint Paul is his deep understanding of the reality of sin.
02:00And no matter how deep our relationship with God is, the evil root of sin will remain in man.
02:10And this will always be Satan's great opportunity to come and seduce man and lead him to the jaws of death.
02:21Remember that Satan never gives up, that is, no matter how much we advance in our spiritual life and get to know him, he will never stop persecuting us.
02:36Imagine Jesus, the Son of God, was persecuted all the way to the cross, so the same will be done to us.
02:46We must therefore be attentive and learn more about this important topic which is sin.
02:53That is why it is essential that we understand the nature of evil and the harm it causes to us and to society so that we can try to avoid it and protect our lives.
03:08We must therefore understand above all that sin is not just a stain on the soul.
03:13Paul goes into depth and lets us see that the reality of sin is comparable above all not to a stain, but to a disease that can lead man to death.
03:27Although this is a theme that permeates the letters of Saint Paul in various ways, it would be too vast to do a complete analysis of this theme in all his letters.
03:38Therefore, I want to focus our reflection on the letter to the Romans, where, as I mentioned at the beginning, he dedicates his first seven chapters to it,
03:49Although we could extend it to the eighth, where it comes as a conclusion not so much of sin, but of the antithesis of sin, which is grace.
03:59In these eight chapters, or in these seven chapters, he lets us see what he, with the help of the Spirit, has understood about this mystery that concerns us all.
04:13and that is the cause of the destruction of man and his society, including the relationship with others and, of course, especially with God our Lord.
04:24We can say that in the letter to the Romans, Saint Paul makes a literary presentation of sin as a personified power
04:32and establishes the relationships it has with the flesh, the law, and death.
04:39It also shows how it acts upon men in different possible situations,
04:47Before redemption, Gentiles and Jews, and after redemption, in all of us.
04:54Saint Paul begins his discourse by highlighting how man, despite knowing what God wants, clings to his own ideas.
05:24In Romans, in the first chapter, beginning with verses 21 through 23, they say the following.
05:35For although they knew God, they did not honor him as God, nor give thanks to him, but their thinking became futile.
05:44And their foolish hearts were darkened; professing to be wise, they became fools and exchanged the glory of the incorruptible God.
05:55by an image in the form of corruptible man, birds, quadrupeds, and reptiles.
06:03It is man's tendency towards independence, to always want to control God.
06:11It is the sin that has marked man since Genesis, when seduced by the serpent, instigator of all sin,
06:21He came to promote independence from God, and from there, man has sought to invent his own gods.
06:28which ultimately only lead to frustration.
06:32With Christ, God has revealed his true image, the image of a just and merciful God.
06:39which seeks to give man a life of fulfillment in love.
06:44We want to be independent of God, and this is what ends up ruining our whole life.
06:52Now, this continuous search for independence leads us to continually seek to create idols for ourselves.
07:01so that those gods will be the ones to come and give us happiness.
07:06In other words, we don't believe—and this is the problem—that God is capable of making us happy.
07:15And since we don't believe this, because it places certain restrictions on us that are aimed at controlling our passions,
07:24that we don't realize, but they are the cause of all the deterioration in our lives.
07:31So, God tries to contain them, he invites us to place certain restrictions,
07:35But we don't like these restrictions.
07:38So what do we do?
07:40Well then, let's find or make our own little gods
07:45that allow us to do whatever I want.
07:51Gods, do not place restrictions on my passions.
07:55Gods that allow me to enter peacefully on the path of pleasure, possessions, and power.
08:02In verse 24 of this chapter, the reality of sin is revealed to us in stark terms.
08:11as something that directly harms man.
08:16Let's see what verse 24 tells us.
08:19Therefore, God gave them over to impurity in the lusts of their hearts,
08:27so that they dishonored their own bodies among themselves.
08:33In this verse we see that sin is not actually a stain,
08:38but an action against ourselves.
08:41That in sin lies hidden the mystery of our own destruction.
08:46Sin itself produces consequences that are not the work of God.
08:52but of that mystery of destruction that is contained in sin.
08:57Therefore, we must be clear, as Saint Paul was,
09:00that every sin, small or large, will always have consequences that stem directly from the sin.
09:09And we can't fool ourselves, because we've all experienced this.
09:13Sin will always touch our lives in one way or another.
09:20discomfort, destruction, misunderstanding, frustration.
09:26We must understand sin as a mystery that operates in man
09:31and that leads to sins, which would be like the fruits of sin.
09:36Therefore, the apostle continues to show how sin leads man astray.
09:43to all kinds of disorders and actions that destroy it.
09:47And they destroy their society and separate them from God.
09:52We must, it must be clear to us, brothers,
09:55It's not that God turns away from us because of sin.
09:59God loves us, God loves the sinner, He hates sin.
10:05But God does not turn away from us because of sin,
10:08but it is the very effect of sin that separates us from God.
10:14Man, through sin, distances himself from God,
10:19repeating the same action as Adam,
10:22that there in paradise, together with Eve,
10:24They decide to go their own way,
10:27They decide to become independent of God
10:30and from then on they will not seek to do what God has commanded in his law,
10:37what God has asked them to do continually in their lives.
10:42On this subject of sin,
10:44one of the aspects that prevent our lives from being fulfilled perfectly
10:49The man denies that he is a sinner.
10:51Tell me if it isn't true that we always feel fair, good,
10:57especially before God,
10:59And we believe that with what we do, we please God.
11:03Proof that this is not the case
11:05It is the fact that the lives of these people,
11:09of those who feel good,
11:12it's falling apart
11:13and they are unable to achieve complete happiness
11:16and instead of seeking the sources of happiness,
11:20who is God,
11:20He is always seeking the emptiness of pleasures,
11:24which is nothing other than the manifestation of sin
11:26as a force that guides him to death.
11:30In his letter to the Romans,
11:32It is clear that we have all sinned,
11:35that no one can escape this reality,
11:39because it is something inherent to man
11:41and not by its own nature.
11:43In other words, by our very nature we have freedom.
11:47And by our nature we have passions that easily overflow.
11:53We like money,
11:55We like to eat,
11:56We like sex,
11:57We like it,
11:58They are things,
11:59They are important elements of our appetites,
12:03but they overflow,
12:06They overflow when stimulated
12:08And then, if man does not have enough control over them,
12:12So let's go further
12:15and we fall into sin.
12:18That is why when we say that it is inherent to man,
12:21It's not that God created us sinners,
12:24otherwise we become sinners
12:26by not obeying what God told us to do,
12:31who tells us this today as well,
12:32that is to say,
12:33Don't continue,
12:34Don't follow your impulses,
12:36I mean,
12:38think,
12:39reflect,
12:40Check if this is right for your life.
12:43If this is what I want
12:44so that you can lead an orderly and decent life,
12:49No?
12:49So,
12:50It certainly isn't,
12:53It is not inherent,
12:55but it's ingrained in our flesh,
12:58as he will say a little later
13:00in chapter 7,
13:03our dear Pablo.
13:04Seek to deny that we are sinners
13:08It's absurd.
13:10since our own actions
13:11They don't reveal it,
13:13Or are you going to tell me?
13:15that you're watching me right now,
13:16that you are not a sinner.
13:18Of course you are.
13:20Just like me
13:21and all who pass through this world,
13:24with the exception of Mary and Jesus,
13:27all,
13:27absolutely everyone,
13:29We have sinned.
13:30And that is why we are in need of redemption,
13:33in need of God's strength to rescue us,
13:37as we saw at the beginning of our study in the Pauline letters.
13:42That is to say,
13:43There isn't a single one.
13:45We are all sinners,
13:48For so the prophet David had already said,
13:53King David,
13:54when he wrote Psalm 51,
13:56Well, he tells us,
13:59sinner,
14:00My mother conceived me.
14:01That is to say,
14:03even from our mother's womb
14:04We bring this trend,
14:08this,
14:09as Saint Augustine would say,
14:10this bad root.
14:13The knowledge of our sin
14:15That's what will make us raise our eyes to the sky
14:18and ask God for compassion in the face of our miseries
14:22and the inability to get out of them.
14:25If we truly want God to help us,
14:28The first thing we have to do is recognize that we are sinners
14:31and that we cannot escape this reality on our own,
14:37that only with God's help will we achieve it.
14:40And this is what leads us to continually cry out to the Lord for help.
14:43save us,
14:45that He may make us righteous men,
14:48according to the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
14:52So, my brothers, we need,
14:54First of all,
14:56acknowledging our guilt
14:58and realize that there is an important force
15:01that continually pushes me to do what I don't want to do.
15:05But the problem with sin is not only the harm it does to us,
15:10but the harm he does to the church,
15:12the harm it does to society.
15:15Because sin always has social consequences.
15:19and destroys the community
15:21and particularly from among them the weakest.
15:26This is what we call bad testimony.
15:28In other words, when our sin
15:30transcends our limits
15:33and it already affects the community,
15:36This, then, is always a reality.
15:40Sometimes it takes longer to appear, and sometimes less.
15:45Some with more strength and others with less.
15:48But what I am convinced of
15:49The fact is that sin always has social consequences.
15:54And let's look at this situation, shall we?
16:01Inspired by the actions of the Pharisees of his time,
16:05an important theme for Saint Paul,
16:07and therefore it must be so for us as well,
16:10It is the bad testimony of believers,
16:12which leads to others, especially the weakest,
16:16to turn away from the faith.
16:18This is one of the devastating effects of sin,
16:21because it creates a reluctant layer
16:25that prevents others from entering the Christian life.
16:29And worse still,
16:31This is the reason why many leave the ranks of the Christian life.
16:35and return to paganism,
16:37or move to one of the Christian sects.
16:41This is in the best-case scenario,
16:42Because the vast majority, sadly,
16:45So she leaves the church
16:46to, therefore, join the ranks of modern paganism.
16:51A vaccination then takes place.
16:54It is a vaccine that inoculates the other
16:57the mystery of iniquity
16:59which will prevent people from becoming
17:02and know life in abundance.
17:04In Romans 2:24
17:07The apostle is decisive
17:09and exposes with all harshness
17:11This reality,
17:13Well, he tells us,
17:15You who boast in the law,
17:16violating the law,
17:18and dishonor God,
17:19because the name of God is blasphemed
17:21among the Gentiles
17:22because of you.
17:24And this should make us think, brothers.
17:29In this text,
17:30Paul alludes
17:31to the prophet Ezekiel,
17:33but in doing so it reveals
17:35the terrible damage
17:36what sin does
17:37when it manifests
17:39in believers,
17:41leading a life
17:42outside the Gospel
17:43and saying
17:44who are Christians.
17:46Regarding this,
17:47Jesus was very harsh.
17:49when he told us,
17:52It's inevitable
17:52that sin exists
17:55and let stumbling blocks come,
17:57But woe to him!
17:59for those who are coming.
18:01He'd better
18:03if they hanged him
18:04a millstone
18:05on the neck
18:05and throw him into the sea
18:07before causing someone to stumble
18:10to one of the little ones.
18:14Look,
18:14This quote to me
18:16It always impresses me
18:17because when I had
18:18the opportunity
18:19over there in Europe
18:20to know
18:21the millstones
18:22from the time of Jesus,
18:25well I was left
18:26impressed.
18:27One would think
18:28on a small stone.
18:29No,
18:30the stone
18:30It's a mole
18:32stone
18:33I think
18:35what else
18:35one meter,
18:36meter and a half
18:37and so
18:38half a meter
18:40thick
18:42and he sat down
18:43on a cone
18:44and it turned around
18:45with the slaves
18:47or with a donkey
18:48and I don't know how much
18:50may weigh
18:51a rock
18:52of those,
18:53but
18:53lot.
18:55so
18:56the image
18:58that Jesus
18:59he tells us
18:59It's one thing
19:00very serious
19:01giving
19:02bad testimony
19:03because it does
19:05than the others
19:05move aside
19:06of God.
19:08Our sin
19:08has
19:09well one
19:10double consequence.
19:11First it affects me
19:12me
19:12taking me
19:13into the darkness
19:14but it takes
19:16to others
19:16I no longer believe
19:17in grace,
19:18I no longer believe
19:19in the church
19:19and finally
19:20Well, I don't believe anymore.
19:21in God.
19:23Sin
19:24that is committed
19:24by causing sin
19:25to another
19:26is that serious
19:27that
19:28is comparable
19:31As I was saying earlier
19:31with the topic
19:32from this stone
19:33No?
19:35And that is it.
19:36because not only
19:37It affects us
19:39us
19:40that we commit it
19:41but it affects
19:42to the church
19:43and discredits
19:45the name
19:45of Christ
19:46and we have said
19:47on the contrary
19:48God must
19:49feel proud
19:51of his children
19:52that carry
19:52a life
19:53That's enviable.
19:54really
19:56a life
19:56full
19:57a life
19:57perfect
19:59so
19:59have
20:00to avoid
20:01by all
20:03the media
20:03giving
20:05this evil
20:06testimony
20:06think very carefully
20:07what is going to be said
20:08what will be done
20:09especially
20:11when we are
20:12in company
20:13of other brothers
20:14another topic
20:16important
20:16in relation
20:17to sin
20:18It is the vision
20:20of Saint Paul
20:21with respect
20:22to the law
20:22This is also
20:24very important
20:24for us
20:25the apostle Paul
20:27he writes in his letter
20:28to the Romans
20:29as follows
20:29I invite you
20:30to go now
20:31to chapter 3
20:33the verses
20:3419 and 20
20:35now then
20:37we know that
20:39everything it says
20:39the law
20:40He says so
20:41to whom
20:41are subject
20:42her
20:43so that everything
20:44the world
20:45shut your mouth
20:46and be convicted
20:48before God
20:49therefore
20:50no one will be
20:51justified
20:52in presence
20:53of God
20:54for doing the
20:55works
20:55that requires
20:56the law
20:56rather
20:58through the law
20:59we charge
21:01awareness
21:02of sin
21:03from the perspective
21:06of the New Testament
21:07the main function
21:09of the law
21:10mosaic
21:11It consists of
21:12the man
21:12recognize
21:13which is impossible
21:15attain salvation
21:16only
21:17through
21:18of their own
21:18efforts
21:19this law
21:20cannot convert
21:21to a person
21:22unfair
21:23in a person
21:24fair
21:26nor grant
21:27grace
21:28to a sinner
21:29this law
21:31is immutable
21:32and it concerns us
21:34us
21:35always
21:36That's why
21:37They are always in force
21:39the requirements
21:40of the law
21:40of God
21:41The Ten Commandments
21:43and above all
21:45now for us
21:46the commandment
21:47concerning
21:48to the love of God
21:49and to one's neighbor
21:51the law
21:52thus
21:53reveals
21:54that human beings
21:55he is a sinner
21:56It is the revelation
21:59of the limits
22:00of grace
22:01and of sin
22:02I mean
22:02the law
22:03It shows like a line
22:04that guides us
22:06on this side
22:07have
22:08life
22:08of grace
22:09and on this side
22:11have
22:11life
22:13of sin
22:14the law
22:15it marks us
22:16where it ends
22:17a
22:17and where it begins
22:19the other
22:19that's why
22:21the apostle
22:22Saint Paul
22:22he says in his letter
22:23to the Galatians
22:24I want us to go
22:26to Galatians
22:263
22:2723
22:2824
22:29and this
22:30well it would be worth
22:31also the penalty
22:32have it underlined
22:34before coming
22:38this faith
22:40the law
22:41we had
22:42prisoners
22:43locked up
22:44until faith
22:45it will be revealed
22:46so the law
22:48it came to be
22:49our guide
22:50in charge
22:51to lead us
22:52to Christ
22:52so that we would be
22:54justified
22:55by faith
22:55but now
22:57that has arrived
22:58faith
22:59we are no longer
23:00subjects
23:01to this guide
23:02What is it that we
23:04means
23:05Saint Paul?
23:05Well
23:06the law
23:07It was like a
23:08Hello
23:09that is to say
23:10refers to
23:11to a teacher
23:12a pedagogue
23:13that makes you take
23:14awareness
23:15of the one itself
23:16situation
23:16and leads us
23:18towards Christ
23:18the law
23:19only
23:20it was useful to us
23:21to tell us
23:22Don't do this
23:23because this
23:24It will take you
23:24to death
23:25but it didn't give us
23:26further
23:27it cannot save us
23:29It has no power
23:30About Us
23:31simply
23:32This drives us
23:35and it helps us
23:36God gave it to us
23:40to drive
23:42our life
23:42along the way
23:43of justice
23:44although she
23:45it cannot be
23:46in us
23:47which
23:48that we
23:48Let's observe her
23:49that we
23:50Let's live it
23:50I mean
23:51the law
23:51It's something
23:53dead
23:54only
23:55he tells me
23:55where it ends
23:56one thing
23:57and where
23:57the other one begins
23:58but it doesn't give me
23:59the force
24:00it's simply
24:02a limit
24:03that leaves us
24:04see
24:04that to
24:05transgress it
24:06we will fall
24:07in a situation
24:08of death
24:09a situation
24:11which is not
24:12beloved by God
24:13This is understood.
24:14clearly
24:15when God
24:16expresses
24:16the first law
24:18that gives
24:19Adam
24:20when he gives
24:22because Adam
24:23and well
24:23Well, there we are.
24:24all men
24:25this law
24:26that gives
24:26in paradise
24:27about what
24:28respect
24:29certain rules
24:30that he
24:31put
24:32I mean
24:32the law is
24:35Adam
24:36man
24:37obey me
24:38do not transgress
24:39this that I am telling you
24:41saying
24:41and your whole life
24:43It will be great.
24:44Let's go to the text
24:46of Genesis
24:47Let's review a little.
24:48this text
24:49Let's go to the book
24:50from Genesis
24:51in chapter 2
24:52It is Genesis
24:55Chapter 2
24:57verse 15
24:58It says
24:59God
25:01the Lord
25:02He took the man
25:03and he put it
25:04in the garden
25:05of Eden
25:05so that he would cultivate it
25:07and take care of him
25:08and gave
25:09this mandate
25:10you can eat
25:11of all the trees
25:12from the garden
25:13but from the tree
25:15of knowledge
25:15of good
25:16and of evil
25:17You must not eat
25:18the day
25:20eat it
25:21certainly
25:23you will die
25:24with this
25:27It remained
25:29established
25:30a law
25:30the man
25:31I shouldn't have taken it
25:33of the tree
25:33of knowledge
25:34of good
25:35and of evil
25:36there is a line
25:37to do it
25:39of transgressing it
25:40God
25:42warned the man
25:43that this
25:44would bring
25:45consequences
25:46in his life
25:47he told her
25:48the day
25:49that you transgress
25:51this line
25:51the day
25:53have a good time
25:53on the other side
25:54the day
25:56that you eat
25:56of this fruit
25:58that day
25:59you will die
26:00irretrievably
26:02God
26:04thus establishes
26:05a limit
26:06that man
26:06should not
26:07to cross
26:08doing it
26:11transgressing it
26:13it will bring him
26:14consequences
26:16that will have an impact
26:17seriously
26:18his life
26:18This shows
26:20that the law
26:21only presents
26:22the limits
26:23hence
26:24the thesis
26:24from Paul
26:25about grace
26:26It takes on great strength.
26:28because it's just her
26:29the one that can do
26:30that man
26:31do not break the law
26:32and with that
26:33become a believer
26:34to the consequences
26:35of this violation
26:36consequences
26:37which are not
26:38Dear ones by God
26:39nor are they
26:39sunsets
26:41or proposals
26:41For God's sake
26:42they are simply
26:43well
26:44the consequence
26:46natural
26:46if I take
26:48this book
26:48and I let it go
26:51falls
26:53God wants
26:54that it falls
26:55I want
26:56that it falls
26:56No
26:57part of
26:58of a law
26:59and
27:01if I let go
27:02this book
27:03I'm putting it here
27:04and I let it go
27:04It's going to fall
27:05equal
27:06the day
27:07that we eat
27:09of this fruit
27:10from this tree
27:12that day
27:13irretrievably
27:14we will die
27:15the law
27:17Saint Paul will say
27:17It's not bad
27:18only guides us
27:20and leads us
27:21to the extent
27:22in which we observe it
27:24and we introduce it
27:26to our life
27:27But the truth is
27:28It's that without grace
27:30it turns out
27:31practically
27:32impossible
27:32that we don't go
27:34to break
27:35that's why
27:36It is important
27:37have
27:38awareness
27:39of
27:40as
27:41that law
27:43it is fundamental
27:44for
27:46delimit
27:47the field
27:47that's why
27:48we have to
27:49to know
27:49to know it well
27:51Honor your father
27:53and your mother
27:53OK
27:54what's happening
27:55but
27:56There will be
27:56consequences
27:57Thou shalt not steal
27:59the law
28:02that's what it says
28:02and that prevents
28:03that I steal
28:04No
28:04He just tells me
28:05the day you steal
28:07that day you will die
28:08Do not commit adultery
28:10do not fornicate
28:12don't say
28:14lies
28:15etc.
28:16There it is
28:17It makes it clear to me
28:19What is the limit?
28:20so as not to
28:22fall
28:23in situations
28:24more serious
28:25No
28:25and well then
28:27I think with this
28:28I have made it clear
28:29What is this topic?
28:31of sin
28:33and the law
28:33So, well, that's it.
28:35having made it clear
28:36this topic
28:37in which the law
28:39It saves us
28:39and?
28:40when we transgress it
28:42we sinned
28:42and that this
28:44will bring
28:44consequences
28:46to my life
28:46these transgressions
28:49they can even
28:50take us
28:51until death
28:52when Paul
28:54has already left
28:55clear
28:55this idea
28:56in the mind
28:57of its listeners
28:58now expresses
28:59the need
29:00that man has
29:01of the work of Christ
29:02in order to be able to
29:03get over
29:04this weakness
29:05human
29:05and so
29:06strengthened
29:07by grace
29:08to be able to walk
29:09with peace
29:09in this world
29:11and direct
29:11life
29:12towards eternity
29:13an eternity
29:15that God himself
29:16it offers us
29:17us
29:18for that
29:20the sinner
29:21has to join
29:22to Christ
29:23and die with him
29:24in this way
29:25that has been released
29:27of tyranny
29:28and slavery
29:28of sin
29:29and as it says
29:30the apostle Saint Paul
29:31in his letter
29:32to the Romans
29:34in chapter 6
29:35verses 5 through 7
29:36says
29:38indeed
29:39if we have been united
29:41with the
29:41on his death
29:42definitely
29:43we will also be
29:44united to him
29:45in his resurrection
29:47we know
29:48that our old nature
29:50She was crucified
29:52with the
29:52so that our body
29:54sinful
29:55lost his power
29:56so
29:57that we would no longer continue
29:59being slaves
30:00of sin
30:00because he who dies
30:02then he is free
30:04of sin
30:04it isn't true
30:04Imagine this
30:07There's a dead person here
30:08and I pass it to him
30:10one million dollars
30:11So
30:11above her eyes
30:13What does the dead man do?
30:15It does nothing.
30:16he can't grab them
30:17because?
30:18Because he's dead
30:19I pass by parading
30:22at some
30:24beautiful girls
30:25all naked
30:27And the dead man?
30:28what are you doing?
30:31Well, it doesn't do anything.
30:32He is dead
30:33dead to sin
30:35and alive for him
30:37in this text
30:39speaks of one
30:40of the mysteries
30:41larger
30:42of our faith
30:42death
30:44of each one
30:45of us
30:45in Christ
30:46whereof
30:47we have already spoken
30:48previously
30:49death
30:51that's what
30:52enables
30:53that sin
30:54can no longer
30:56operate on us
30:57the dead man
30:58He will no longer respond.
31:00to temptations
31:01He is dead
31:03while the man
31:05does not develop
31:06per se
31:07this process
31:08of death
31:08will continue to be
31:10in greater
31:10or to a lesser degree
31:12a slave
31:13of sin
31:13will obey
31:15to their passions
31:16without opposing
31:17endurance
31:18Let us remember
31:20that passions
31:21They don't die
31:22never
31:23we will always have
31:25taste
31:26for the good
31:27because it's comfortable
31:28for the pleasure
31:30our senses
31:31will continue to be
31:33a medium
31:33so that sin
31:34develop
31:35in us
31:37but I would like
31:38address now
31:39a bit
31:40the topic
31:40how it happens
31:42this process
31:43which is what
31:44we know as
31:45the process
31:45from temptation
31:47which is by means
31:48of which
31:49the demon
31:49taking advantage
31:50our weakness
31:51it seduces us
31:52and performs
31:53your goal
31:54to lead us
31:55to death
31:55to illustrate
31:57this
31:57in a way
31:58clearer
31:59allow me
32:00go out
32:01of the letters
32:02Pauline
32:02for a moment
32:03and use the letter
32:04of the apostle
32:05Santiago
32:05that expresses
32:07very clearly
32:08this situation
32:09in man
32:10I'd like
32:11that we were
32:12to the text
32:12from Santiago
32:13the chapter
32:14one
32:15the verses
32:16fourteen
32:17and fifteen
32:18end of your bible
32:20we found
32:21to Santiago
32:22and we located
32:23in the chapter
32:24one
32:24the verses
32:25fourteen
32:26and fifteen
32:27each
32:27is tempted
32:28when their own
32:29ill wishes
32:30They drag him
32:31and seduce
32:32then
32:33when the desire
32:35has conceived
32:36begets
32:37sin
32:37and sin
32:39once
32:40which has been
32:40accomplished
32:41gives birth
32:42to death
32:44That is clear.
32:47that the factor
32:48determinant
32:49It's our passion
32:51which exercises
32:52pressure
32:53continues
32:53About Us
32:54that ends
32:55for dragging us along
32:56Let us note
32:58the term
32:59drag
33:00It's something
33:01what is done
33:02against force
33:03of a person
33:03we drag
33:04a piece of furniture
33:05drag
33:06to a person
33:07means
33:07that I
33:08maybe
33:08I am
33:09defending
33:10but
33:11It drags me along
33:12it turns out
33:14be
33:14stronger
33:15the one who drags
33:17that the dragged
33:18however
33:20yes ok
33:21at first
33:22It's something
33:23who governs
33:24our will
33:25with the step
33:26weather
33:27This leaves
33:27if it is mandatory
33:28and begins
33:29a process
33:30of falling in love
33:31of seduction
33:33in which
33:34the soul
33:34he is becoming convinced
33:36little by little
33:36sometimes
33:37without giving us
33:38so much matters
33:40We're leaving
33:41convincing
33:42and we begin
33:44to release
33:45We'll leave now
33:46to oppose
33:46endurance
33:48to whom we
33:48is dragging
33:49and begins
33:50a process
33:51of seduction
33:52we begin
33:53as in Genesis
33:54open our ear
33:56our ears
33:57to the words
33:58seductive
33:59of our passions
34:00to this demon
34:02that from the outside
34:04is constantly
34:05feeding us
34:06so that we
34:07Let's take it one step at a time
34:09yielding
34:10to temptation
34:11words go
34:13and they come
34:14they multiply
34:16the arguments
34:17for and against
34:18but the senses
34:20They continue acting
34:21as mediators
34:22and passion
34:23grows
34:24and each time
34:25the demon
34:26will give better
34:27arguments
34:28why
34:29if act
34:30This is going to take
34:32to a process
34:33new
34:33what is
34:35conceive
34:35sin
34:36drop
34:38drop
34:40the restriction already
34:41Let's go now
34:43to enter
34:44in a process
34:45of
34:46growth
34:47it's going to grow
34:49in us
34:50the desire
34:51the action
34:51now it seems to us
34:53delightful
34:55and now
34:57we conceive
34:58sin
34:58It will be a matter of
35:01now only
35:02of time
35:02but there are no more
35:04return
35:05sin
35:07it will only grow
35:09within us
35:10the decision
35:11It's already been taken
35:13the will
35:15resists
35:15but only
35:17like the dying man
35:18the poison
35:19It's already acting
35:20indeed
35:21in the heart
35:22of man
35:22The time will come
35:24in which it will give light
35:26will be finalized
35:28sin
35:28and this will give
35:30as a result
35:31death
35:32if you look closely
35:34are processes
35:37are processes
35:39sometimes
35:39imperceptible
35:40no
35:40if we don't have
35:41a vision
35:42clear about this
35:43we don't realize
35:44how
35:45first it drags us along
35:47You are a person
35:48Christian
35:49goes to mass
35:50confesses
35:51communion
35:51wants to serve
35:53to Mr.
35:53And then comes temptation
35:56and at the beginning
35:57It drags you along
35:57and you feel it dragging you down
35:59and
35:59and little by little
36:02you stop resisting
36:03little by little
36:05if you're not
36:05wild
36:06on the way
36:07of grace
36:08you stop resisting
36:09and little by little
36:10is less
36:11the resistance
36:11minus the resistance
36:13and begins
36:14falling in love
36:16until
36:17finally
36:17is engendered
36:19sin
36:19and now
36:21are
36:23in love
36:26Are you ready?
36:28to sin
36:28It will be a matter of
36:29of time
36:29some say
36:31scholars
36:32of the spiritual life
36:33that only
36:35a miracle
36:36once conceived
36:37sin
36:37once we have
36:39stopped resisting it
36:41we're going to be
36:42already
36:43irretrievably
36:45dragged
36:46we will be
36:47carried
36:48voluntarily
36:49to sin
36:51and to death
36:51only a miracle
36:52says
36:52that's why
36:53the important topic
36:54is to resist
36:56are processes
36:58that if not avoided
37:00it will be practically
37:02impossible
37:04avoid
37:05sin
37:06one of the tips
37:08of Saint Paul
37:09on this topic
37:10It's in the letter
37:12to the Romans
37:14Let's see
37:15what does it tell us?
37:15Pablo
37:16in chapter 13
37:17in verse 14
37:18Let's go back a little.
37:20in our Bibles
37:21says Saint Paul
37:25rather
37:27clothe yourselves with the Lord
37:30Christ
37:30and don't think
37:32in providing
37:33for the appetites
37:35of the meat
37:35Look how interesting!
37:37provide
37:39To provide is to feed
37:43that is to say
37:43Do not feed
37:45the passions
37:47avoid all that
37:49that can feed them
37:51words
37:52conversations
37:54programs
37:55companies
37:57etc.
37:58if it feeds
38:00passion
38:01It will be strengthened
38:02and it will be
38:05very difficult
38:07that still
38:08gracefully
38:09we can
38:11avoid
38:12It will be very difficult.
38:14that still
38:14living in grace
38:15we can
38:16arrest
38:16do not feed
38:20their passions
38:21says Saint Paul
38:22He's a real expert
38:24on this
38:25this letter
38:27to the Romans
38:28truly
38:28You have to drink it
38:29completely
38:30focusing
38:32on the topic
38:33of sin
38:34This again
38:36we can see it
38:37clearly
38:38in the text
38:38from Genesis
38:39in it we read
38:41as
38:41how he acted
38:43sin
38:43in them
38:44in chapter 3

39:10since there are no more
39:11restriction

39:21so he took

39:31to death
39:32the woman
39:35it was left
39:36carry
39:36because of their passion
39:37she was
39:38feeding
39:39throughout
39:40time
39:41that he was talking
39:42with the snake
39:43and so
39:44your wish
39:45it grew
39:45principis
39:48obstat
39:50principis
39:53obstat
39:55Stop it at the beginning
39:57you start chatting
40:00with your wishes
40:01with your temptations
40:02are you talking
40:04with Satan
40:04are you talking
40:06with that
40:07which led
40:07to Eva
40:09to break
40:10their relationship
40:11with God
40:12in this sad
40:16episode
40:17we see how
40:19Eve
40:19ends
40:20being
40:22victim
40:23of their appetites
40:25I saw the fruit
40:27he felt like it
40:29it was growing
40:31in it
40:32the desire
40:33to eat it
40:34I couldn't find it anymore
40:35one reason
40:35Why not eat it?
40:37if finally
40:38God lies
40:39it was now
40:41good to eat
40:42And that's it.
40:45She finally takes it.
40:46to disobedience
40:47to break
40:48the law
40:48given by God
40:49and with that
40:50it is carried
40:51all the consequences
40:53prescribed
40:54by law
40:54you will die
40:56you will die
40:59in a text
41:03marvelous
41:04from Paul
41:04in his letter
41:05to the Galatians
41:05in chapter 6
41:07verse 7
41:08says
41:09Don't be fooled
41:11of God
41:12Nobody makes fun of me.
41:14well, everything
41:16what man
41:17always
41:18that's it
41:19will harvest
41:21because he who sows
41:23for his own flesh
41:24of the meat
41:26is going to pick up
41:27corruption
41:28but he who sows
41:31for the spirit
41:32of the spirit
41:33will harvest
41:34eternal life
41:35do not sow
41:38for the meat
41:39Do not feed
41:41your passions
41:42That's why it's very
41:43important
41:44that you hear
41:45that you see
41:46what friends
41:48have
41:48what conversations
41:49are the ones that
41:51you develop
41:51which shows
41:53you're going
41:53I mean
41:57all this
41:57That's what it does
41:58that our life
41:59finally
42:00collapse
42:02it is therefore necessary
42:03continuously encourage
42:05spiritual life
42:06acquire
42:07all that
42:08all that
42:09that can feed her
42:10and avoid
42:11all that
42:12that she can
42:14destroy
42:16Let's not think
42:19that we can
42:20sin
42:21and that there will be no
42:23consequences
42:24This is a serious
42:25mistake
42:25sin
42:28always has
42:30consequences
42:30if you sow
42:32in the meat
42:34you are going to
42:35harvest
42:36destruction
42:38in your life
42:38the thesis
42:40so
42:41of Saint Paul
42:42This leads us to ensure
42:43that sin
42:44ends
42:44paying
42:46with death
42:46This will be
42:48the consequence
42:49theological
42:50of sin
42:51however
42:52this is visible
42:53translated
42:54in reality
42:54in dissatisfaction
42:56in sadness
42:57in the loss
42:58of peace
42:59and finally
43:00with the loss
43:01of happiness
43:02offered to man
43:04through death
43:04of Christ
43:05sadly
43:07the man
43:07today
43:08think
43:08who can sin
43:09and that this
43:10will not have
43:11consequences
43:12in his life
43:12however
43:14He's wrong.
43:15as we already saw
43:16in the previous point
43:17since all sin
43:19always has
43:20consequences
43:21if you sow
43:23in the meat
43:24harvests
43:26sowings
43:27harvests
43:29that you sowed
43:30brother
43:31I sowed
43:31I planted corn
43:32and what you will reap
43:34I want to harvest
43:36now
43:36I want to harvest
43:38bean
43:38you can't
43:39You planted corn
43:40if you sow
43:44if you feed
43:45your passion
43:45what you're going to pick up
43:47It is sin
43:48and with him
43:49death
43:49with this statement
43:52It remains completely
43:52clear
43:53that sin
43:53will always have
43:54consequences
43:55and that these
43:56they may reach us
43:57to set aside
43:58definitely
43:59of salvation
44:00obtained by Christ
44:01then
44:03fundamental
44:03that we do not forget
44:05this statement
44:06from Paul
44:06what is
44:07fundamental
44:08if truly
44:09we want to take
44:10a life in peace
44:11and in harmony
44:12above all
44:13aspire to possess
44:15eternal life
44:16with God
44:17how sad
44:19that because of a serious sin
44:20spoiled
44:21desired
44:22we can arrive
44:25to lose
44:25fullness
44:27with Christ
44:28in the sky
44:28and lose
44:29in this world
44:30happiness
44:31and carry us
44:32so many evils
44:33for us
44:34and for our families
44:35must be avoided
44:39sin
44:39and well then
44:41before we finish
44:43only a few
44:44words
44:45that they help us
44:46on our way
44:46knowing
44:47that
44:48as sinners
44:50hardly
44:51we will be able to live
44:52completely
44:54marginalized
44:54his
44:55we must always
44:56remember
44:57that God
44:58He loves us
44:58that God
45:00love the sinner
45:01hates
45:02sin
45:02but loves
45:04to the sinner
45:05God
45:06loved
45:06deeply
45:07to Adam
45:08and to all
45:09sinners
45:09He loves us
45:10and therefore
45:11seeks
45:12with all
45:12their forces
45:13that we avoid
45:15that man
45:16be seduced
45:17because of sin
45:17But if it falls
45:20we need to know
45:21that mercy
45:22of God
45:22It's much bigger
45:24that everything that
45:25we can
45:26sin
45:26and that there is no
45:28no sin
45:29due to serious
45:29that this be
45:30that it cannot be
45:31forgive
45:32says God
45:33through
45:34of the prophet
45:34Isaiah
45:35in the chapter
45:371 verse 18
45:38says
45:38although his sins
45:40be like crimson
45:42reds
45:43so horrible
45:44They will be like snow
45:46bleached
45:47even if they're red
45:48like crimson
45:49will remain
45:51like white wool
45:53siblings
45:55brother
45:56that you're watching me
45:57mercy
45:59of God
45:59It's forever
46:00and it doesn't run out
46:01never
46:02one of the texts
46:04most beautiful
46:04about this
46:05It is the psalm
46:06136
46:07where we see
46:08to the people
46:09remember
46:10that mercy
46:11of God
46:11It's forever
46:13and that there will be no
46:14nothing
46:15nothing we do
46:16that it cannot be
46:18forgiven
46:18for love
46:19inexhaustible
46:20of our loving
46:22God
46:22we must then
46:24trust
46:25And as the letter says
46:26to the Hebrews
46:27approach
46:28to the throne
46:29of mercy
46:31to the throne
46:32of love
46:32of God
46:33therefore
46:34Let's get closer
46:36with confidence
46:37to the throne
46:37of grace
46:38so that we may receive
46:39mercy
46:40and we will find
46:42funny
46:42for help
46:43timely
46:45after the
46:46Resurrection
46:46of Christ
46:47no one can
46:48despair
46:49and feel
46:50lost
46:50because the blood
46:51of Christ
46:52has covered
46:52all our
46:53sins
46:54I conclude
46:55this chapter
46:56reviewing the chapter
46:587 of the letter
46:59to the Romans
47:00where Paul
47:01summarize in a few
47:03verses
47:03the tragedy of
47:04man
47:05which
47:06private of the
47:07funny
