THEME SIN

Introduction: The Love of God


If God loves us, why war, hunger, poverty, injustice, discrimination.
If God loves us, why are there so many insecurities, fears, envies, sadness.
If God loves us, why don't we experience it.

The problem.
Before we can solve any problem, we must know what it is.
When we are sick, we go to the doctor; if our car breaks down, we take it to the shop.
When our life breaks down, who should we turn to?

What prevents us from experiencing love is Sin.


Since Adam and Eve, who believed that they could achieve happiness through their own strength.
The man has drifted away from God, the source of all life.
And since the first sin of man, evil spreads more and more.

How do we see sin (in our minds)? How would we describe sin?
What makes us sin? How much is too much sin?

Sin is: The opposition of man's will to divine will. It is not believing in God, not trusting in
He prefers to trust more in ourselves. It is to choose everything that does not come from God.
What is sin? It is a characteristic that defines the human condition.

SATAN AND HIS WORKS


Satan leads us to death.
It presents to us the power of the mundane as a source of happiness.
Sometimes we become instruments of Satan.
Our God does not accept sharing our heart with false gods; you cannot serve two masters.
Mt 12, 43-45: goes for 7 more demons.

How does sin act?

Testimony

First of all, the enemy discovers your weaknesses.


2. It puts different situations in your life, to distance you from the communion you have with God, remember
the more disconnected you are from your communion with God, the easier it will be to become discouraged.
3. How you have neglected your personal relationship with God, the enemy begins to bombard your mind
with thoughts of discouragement and sin.
4. Attacked by thoughts of sin and adding the fact that you are not having a personal relationship with God.
as you would have to have, you have nothing left but to succumb to temptation and fail.
What happens during sin?

1. In committing it, you will have in your mind that you should not do it, but your own weakness (for not
maintaining a constant communion with God makes you want to overlook that, even though honestly you won't be able to.
You may feel carnal satisfaction, but never spiritual.
3. Be sure that the act of sinning will not be a cause for joy, but rather when you sin you will have
presence that is not due.

What happens after committing sin?

You will feel defeated.


You will regret having done what you did and you will want to go back in time to not make that mistake.
but unfortunately it will not be possible, instead you will have to face the consequences.
3. Perhaps the consequences of your sin will be difficult, but remember that it was all due to the bad.
decision to fall into sin.

CONSEQUENCES:
It generates consequences in all areas: individual, marital, family, social, and in nature.
Difficulty in discovering God in all things and people.
Individual: In the mind, in behavior, lack of harmony with oneself, lack of harmony with others.
Addictions, shackles, anger, etc.
Relationships: false relationships, inability to love healthily.
Social: Corruption, oppression, injustice.
Numbers 32:23: "Know that it will be a sin against Yahweh, and this sin will follow you."
Sin would not find so many followers if its consequences were seen immediately. The main reason why the
that God does not want us to sin is because sin is destructive. We are not only
disobeying God, but we hurt ourselves.
Even those that seem like small sins can cause us many problems.

Example: Sin of lying.

OUR SINS
We are looking for false paths: Materialism, humanism without God, believing in false idols, believing in ourselves
superheroes.
We are blind.

Drunkenness of two pals who wanted to sail in a boat and did not untie the boat.
We got used to sin: Wax.

Romans 6:23: "The wages of sin is death"

The day when man wanted to be God, he sank.

ACKNOWLEDGE YOUR PROBLEM


The worst sinner is the one who does not recognize his sin. "Race of vipers, whitewashed tombs"
Only the sick can be healed, only the dead can be resurrected.
"You see and do not see": When a blind person believes they can see.
4. John 9:41: "If you were blind, you would have no sin; but now you say, 'We see,' therefore your sin remains."

In a prison: The king was going to free someone, everyone claims they are innocent, except one, and that one is set free, to
do not let me ruin the others who seem so good.

Talking about infidelity


Betraying a friend
Liberty: true meaning
John 8:34: "Whoever lives in sin is a slave to sin"

CONDITIONS FOR SINNING


Three stages through which the sinner passes to sin.
forbidden matter (that which we know is sin, or perhaps we have an idea because the conscience shouts it out)
we move on to the next stage which is:
The warning is that our intelligence alerts our power and tells us: it is a sin, you are going to sin.
you are breaking the law of God, it may be good to enjoy this moment, perhaps you can control it; the
Intelligence sends that message in many ways, therefore we are entering the definitive part.
3: Consent or acceptance by our second power, the will, then we can
conclude with a phrase so delicate 'little one, because I wanted to', 'I know I did something contrary, but I liked it', 'God
is sad but it's my weakness,” this and other expressions are what we can experience and that the
the result is the rupture of God's love.

THE CLOSURE
Everyone -parents, teachers, and friends- are sinners. It's true. We are all human and are destitute.
from the glory of God. Sin separates us from God, but fortunately it never separates us from His love.

The Bible is full of examples of God's grace and forgiveness. Christ showed love and mercy towards the
sinners. In fact, Jesus spent time with sinners who were considered the lowest in society.
that moment (like Mary Magdalene, who was a prostitute).

Joke: the Virgin Mary, the only one without sin.

CONCUSPICIOUSNESS
6. Jn 9:34: "They answered him: -You are nothing but sin from your birth, and do you pretend to teach us?"
lessons to us? - And they expelled him.
Romans 3:23: "for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God."
We cannot prevent sin because it comes from our own being. We are like a lemon tree that
it always gives sour and acidic lemons, it cannot give sweet lemons, because its root is of lemon, and ours is of
sin
Romans 7:19: 'I do the evil that I do not want, and I do not do the good that I want.'
Since we are damaged from the root, we cannot heal ourselves.
 From the Gospel according to Saint Luke (15:1-3, 1-32)
Tax collectors and sinners were drawing near to Jesus to hear him. So the Pharisees and the teachers of the law
they criticized among themselves: This man welcomes sinners and eats with them. Then Jesus gave them
this parable:
There was a man who had two sons. The younger one said to his father: 'Give me the part of the estate that belongs to me.'
"It is appropriate." And the father divided his goods between the two.
The youngest son gathered all his belongings, and a few days later he went to a distant country. There he squandered his money.

and began to experience hardship. He went to look for work and offered his services to a local resident, who sent him
to his field to take care of pigs. He would have wished to fill his stomach with the food the pigs were given, but
nobody gave him anything.
Finally, he came to his senses and said to himself: 'How many of my father's hired workers have bread to spare, while I am here starving?'
I am starving! I have to do something: I will go back to my father and say to him: Father, I have sinned against God and
against you. I no longer deserve to be called your son. Treat me like one of your hired workers." So he got up and
it was where his father.
He was still far away when his father saw him and felt compassion; he ran to throw himself around his neck and kissed him. Then the
Son, he sinned against God and against you. I no longer deserve to be called your son. But the father said to him:
Your servers: Quick! Bring the best dress and put it on. Put a ring on the finger and bring shoes.
for his feet. Bring the fattened calf and kill it; let us eat and celebrate, for this son of mine was
he was dead and has come back to life; he was lost and we have found him. And they began the party.
The elder son was in the field. Upon returning, as he approached the house, he heard the orchestra and the dance. He called one
of the boys and asked him what it all meant. He answered: Your brother has returned home,
and your mother ordered the fat calf to be killed for having recovered it safe and sound. The eldest son got angry and did not want to
enter. His father went out to plead with him. But he answered him: I have served you for so many years without disobeying.
Never a single one of your orders, and you have never given me a goat to throw a party with my friends.
But now that your son who has squandered your money on prostitutes comes back, you kill the fattened calf for him.

The father said to him: Son, you are always with me and everything I have is yours. But we had to celebrate and be happy,
since your brother was dead and has come back to life, he was lost and has been found.

We have told our father countless times to give us our share of the inheritance that we...
