The Spirit Convicts
Episode 11 of he Wild Goose Series
"It is not an exaggeration to say that our attitude towards sin has eternal consequences. Sin wounds, and at times destroys, our relationship with Christ. The Spirit of God convicts us of our sin not to condemn us but to convert us. In this segment we will see how the Spirit draws us closer to Christ by revealing to us our sin."
Discussion Questions
1. In the spiritual life, becoming more aware of our sin doesn’t separate us from God, but rather it has the capacity to draw us closer to him. Also, in what seems to be a paradox, when we get closer to Christ we become more aware of our sin. The more light we have in our lives the more we are able to see into the darkness.
2. Sin does not keep us out of heaven: in fact, heaven is full of men and women who have sinned. An inability to recognize our sin and repent is what keeps us away from God. Discuss times when you have had an awareness of your sinfulness and more importantly an experience of God’s mercy and forgiveness.
3. We live in a culture that is quickly losing any understanding of objective truth and everything is now relative. Discuss the impact this has had on you, your family, and parish.
