Transcript Virtues Vs. Sins

Therefore gird up your
minds, be sober, set
your hope fully upon
the grace that is coming
to you at the revelation
of Jesus Christ. As
obedient children, do
not be conformed to the
passions of your former
ignorance, but as he
who called you is holy,
be holy yourselves in
all your conduct; since
it is written, “You shall
be holy, for I am holy.”
I Peter 1: 13-16

Three Theological Virtues—These are
called “theological” because they are gifts from
God. We cannot make these happen on our own.
Four Cardinal Virtues--These are called
“cardinal” because they “are of the greatest
importance,” which is what the word means. We
can develop these on our own strength, but we
can take them much further when these are
strengthened by the Theological Virtues.

“Now faith is the assurance of things hoped
for, the conviction of things not seen.”
Epistle to the Hebrews 11: 1
To put it simply, having faith means that I am
able to know and believe things that God
makes known to me, even when I cannot
prove it in the same way I might prove
something material.
Hope is a Divine virtue by which we
confidently expect, with God’s help, to reach
eternal happiness beholding the presence of
God in the company of all the Angels and
Saints as well as to have all that we need to
actually be able to attain that wonderful
destiny.

Love, in the sense of agape, which is God’s selfsacrificing love poured out for us through the
life, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
Because Jesus Christ is truly human, he can
touch us in a direct, deep and personal way
with this love. Because Jesus Christ is truly
God, the love He offers us is truly this lifechanging agape.

“Love is patient and kind; love is not jealous
or boastful; it is not arrogant or rude. Love
does not insist on its own way; it is not
irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at
wrong, but rejoices in the right. Love bears all
things, believes all things, hopes all things,
endures all things.”
--I Corinthians 13: 4-7

“In this the love of God was made manifest
among us, that God sent his only Son into the
world, so that we might live through him. In
this is love, not that we loved God but that he
loved us and sent his Son to be the expiation
for our sins. Beloved, if God so loved us, we
also ought to love one another. No man has
ever seen God; if we love one another, God
abides in us and his love is perfected in us.”
I John 4: 9-12

“This is my commandent, that you
love one another as I have loved
you. Greater love has no man than
this, that a man lay down his life
for his friends.”
Gospel of John 15: 12-13
