C.
I believe in God, the Father almighty,
creator of heaven and earth.
I believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord.
He was conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit
and born of the virgin Mary.
He suffered under Pontius Pilate,
was crucified, died, and was buried.
He descended into hell.
On the third day he rose again.
He ascended into heaven,
and is seated at the right hand of the Father.
He will come again to judge the living and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Spirit,
the holy catholic Church,
the communion of saints,
the forgiveness of sins,
the resurrection of the body,
and the life everlasting. Amen

The Simple Way a Father Should Present Them to His
Household

The First Commandment:

You must not have other gods.

Q. What does this mean?
A. We must fear, love, and trust God more than anything
else.
11
DISCUSSION & REFLECTION


How does the 1st Commandment fit into this discussion?
The First Commandment makes our relationship with
God exclusive.
Between the true God and false gods, we are to love
exclusively the true God.
But then, that is precisely the trouble.
This commandment is in reality the only commandment.
Every sin takes something else and treats it like God.
That is the sin of idolatry!
Whatever we place great value in that is not God is an
idol.
12
DISCUSSION & REFLECTION
 Romans
3:
23 for
all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,
All = all! We are sinners. No one looks good to
God in and of ourselves. It is only because God
wants to love us that we have any hope, any
future, any dignity.
 God wants to love us not because we are lovable,
but for the sake of Jesus Christ, so that the
sacrifice of Jesus will not have been in vain.
 This is why we have Confession & Absolution. We
sin when we are by ourselves, and the community
we belong to sins.

13
DISCUSSION & REFLECTION

St. John Chrysostom (354-407) “There is no difference at all
between the Greeks, the Scythian, the Thracian or even the
Jew, for all are in the same plight…Even if you have not done
the same sins as others, you have still been deprived of
God’s glory just as they have been, because you are among
those who have offended… However, Paul was saying this
not to cast them into despair but rather to show the love of
the Lord toward man, as he goes on to say (in the following
verses).”

What is St. John Chrysostom saying?
Sin is universal. That’s not unusual or important. That God
loves us is important!

14
DISCUSSION & REFLECTION

Psalm 27:1The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear?
The LORD is the stronghold of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?
Because God loves us/me, what can harm me,
really? Nothing!
 If nothing can harm me, then I am free to
celebrate God’s love, living His love out in
my/our life.

15
DISCUSSION & REFLECTION

Isaiah 12:2 “Behold, God is my salvation; I will trust, and will not be
afraid; for the LORD GOD is my strength and my song, and he has become my
salvation.”
Because God loves us, I can be brave.
 I can risk holy love.
 There is nothing to lose!

16
DISCUSSION & REFLECTION

Ephesians 4:26 Be angry and do not sin; do not let the sun go down
on your anger, 27 and give no opportunity to the devil.
Anger, Fear and Anxiety lead us into a selfpreservation mode, as if we were the only ones
capable of defending us (idolatry).
 Can’t God defend us?
 If we prefer to trust ourselves to defend
ourselves, then we have become our own idols.


Peter
5:
8
Be sober-minded; be watchful. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a
roaring lion, seeking someone to devour.
The devil is real!
 Root meaning of the word “devil” is confusion.
 We become confused who our God really is,
picking a false god in the process (idolatry).
 Cling to Jesus!
 In any and every temptation, every day, every hour
cling to Jesus in prayer, study and work.

18
DISCUSSION & REFLECTION

Oecumenius (6th century) “Justin Martyr
(110-165) explains
this by saying that before the coming of Christ the devil did not know
what the weight of his punishment would be, but that when the Lord
came and proclaimed that eternal fire was prepared for him and his
angels he reacted by becoming even more determined to ensnare
believers, in order to have as much company as possible in his
rebellion.”
The devil is still determined! He knows our names.
 Remember, Jesus won that battle already, and that
victory becomes ours when we belong to Him.
