Lesson 4: The Sacraments Are Signs of Grace
The sacraments are signs of grace that give us God’s divine life.
The sacraments are signs of grace that give us God’s divine life.
God speaks to us in our consciences, helping us make good choices.
We need to learn and practice how to make good moral choices.
When we love unselfishly, we live as the Lord lives.
Learning to know and choose the good is a habit we can develop.
A well-formed conscience helps us make good decisions, in spite of how we might initially feel.
The first three commandments show us how to be faithful to God and honor Him.
Baptism is necessary for salvation from sin.
Sin leads us away from God and the plan of happiness He has for us and leads us closer to eternal separation from Him in Hell.
Conscience is not a feeling but an ability of mans reason to judge whether an action is moral or immoral.
Grace is the expression of Gods love that not only makes us His adopted children but also makes us good.
Theft is the usurpation of anothers goods against the reasonable will of the owner (CCC 2453). We have the right to use and enjoy those things we properly own. The right to property, however, is not absolute.
We must speak, act, and uphold the truth, and so we should not lie in word, thought, or deed.
Living a life of holiness as a disciple of Christ requires us to live a life of witness to Him by sharing with the world our love for Christ by our words and actions.
Sacraments are efficacious signs of grace by which divine life is dispensed to us.
