In this sermon, Fr. Matthias Shehad explores the spiritual and personal damage caused by indulging in sin. He emphasizes the Gospel teaching to love even our enemies, explaining how hatred and unforgiveness expel God from our hearts and hinder our spiritual growth. Fr. Matthias discusses the consequences of willful sin, including the loss of purity, spiritual habits, and the formation of bad habits that can be difficult to break even after repentance.
He also addresses the ongoing battle with guilt, the pain and challenges of true repentance, and the reality that some broken relationships may never fully heal. Using biblical examples like King David and the Prodigal Son, Fr. Matthias reminds viewers that while God forgives sincere repentance, living in sin causes lasting harm and spiritual damage. He encourages daily repentance as a path to healing and freedom from the damage of sin.
