Presentation transcript:

God created man and woman with body, soul, and sanctifying grace. “sanctifying grace”- God dwelling in his soul, pouring supernatural life into it.

Consequences of Losing Sanctifying Grace: Adam immediately brought death to his soul and retained his bodily life only temporarily.

Consequences of Sin… Before (the Fall) After (the Fall)

Consequences of Sin… Before (the Fall) After (the Fall)

Need Life, But Don’t have It. Original Sin – We are born without Sanctifying Grace …Not “stain” but the “absence” of that grace we need to reach the goal for which God destined us. Heaven- (Life with God) We can never live there without Grace (Share in His Life). i.e. If we wanted to live on another planet, we should need new breathing powers, which by nature our lungs have not got. To live the life of heaven, we need new knowing and loving powers, which by nature our souls have not got.

No Sanctifying Grace  No Heaven Its not a question of getting past the gate but living once we are there! What are we to do…? “O happy fault, O necessary sin of Adam which gained for us so great a Redeemer!”

John 3:16 Romans 6:23 John 10:10 Jesus: “Truly, truly, I say to you unless one is born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter the Kingdom of God”

CCC 1213 Holy Baptism is the basis of the whole Christian life, the gateway to life in the Spirit and the door which gives access to the other sacraments. Through Baptism we are freed from sin and reborn as sons of God; we become members of Christ, are incorporated into the Church and made sharers in her mission: Baptism is the sacrament of regeneration through water in the word.
