This document summarizes key aspects of life in Christ according to sections 1692-1698 of the Catechism of the Catholic Church. It discusses how through baptism Christians become children of God and partakers in divine life. They are called to lead lives worthy of the gospel through grace and the gifts of the Holy Spirit received in the sacraments. United with Christ, Christians can imitate God and conform their lives to Christ's example. The way of Christ leads to eternal life while the contrary way leads to destruction. Catechesis should focus on Christ, grace, virtues, sin and forgiveness, and the twofold commandment of love.

1. LIFE IN
CHRIST
According to
the Cathechism of
the Catholic Church
1692- 1698

2. 1692 The Symbol
of the faith
confesses the
greatness of
God's gifts to
man in his
work of
creation,

3. and even
more in
redemption
and
sanctification

4. What faith confesses, the sacraments communicate:

5. by the
sacraments
of rebirth,
Christians
have become
"children
of God,"
"partakers
of the divine
nature."

6. Coming to see in the faith their new dignity, Christians are called
to lead henceforth a life "worthy of the gospel of Christ."

7. They are made
capable of doing
so by the grace
of Christ and the
gifts of his Spirit,
which they
receive through
the sacraments
and through
prayer.

8. 1693 Christ Jesus always
did what was pleasing
to the Father,

9. and always lived in perfect communion with him.

10. Likewise Christ's disciples are invited to live in the sight of the Father "who sees
in secret," in order to become "perfect as your heavenly Father is perfect."

11. 1694 Incorporated into Christ by Baptism, Christians are "dead to
sin and alive to God in Christ Jesus" and so participate in the life
of the Risen Lord, following Christ and united with him,

12. Christians can strive to be "imitators of God as beloved children, and
walk in love" by conforming their thoughts, words and actions to the
"mind . . . which is yours in Christ Jesus," and by following his example.

13. 1695 "Justified in
the name of the
Lord Jesus Christ
and in the Spirit
of our God,"
"sanctified . . .
[and] called to be
saints,“ Christians
have become the
temple of the
Holy Spirit.

14. This "Spirit of the
Son" teaches
them to pray to
the Father, and
having become
their life,
prompts them to
act so as to bear
"the fruit of the
Spirit" by charity
in action.

15. Healing the wounds of sin, the Holy Spirit renews
us interiorly through a spiritual transformation.

16. He enlightens and strengthens us to live as "children of
light" through "all that is good and right and true."

17. 1696 The way of Christ "leads to life"; a contrary way "leads to destruction." The
Gospel parable of the two ways remains ever present in the catechesis of the Church;
it shows the importance of moral decisions for our salvation: "There are two ways,
the one of life, the other of death; but between the two, there is a great difference."

18. -a catechesis of the
Holy Spirit, the
interior Master of
life according to
Christ, a gentle
guest and friend
who inspires,
guides, corrects,
and strengthens
this life;

19. -a catechesis of grace, for it is by grace that we
are saved and again it is by grace that
our works can bear fruit for eternal life;

20. -a catechesis of
the beatitudes,
for the way of
Christ is summed
up in the
beatitudes,
the only path that
leads to the
eternal beatitude
for which the
human heart
longs;

21. -a catechesis of sin and forgiveness,
for unless man acknowledges that he is a
sinner he cannot know the truth about
himself, which is a condition for acting
justly; and without the offer of forgiveness
he would not be able to bear this truth;

22. -a catechesis of the human virtues which causes one to grasp
the beauty and attraction of right dispositions towards goodness;

23. - a catechesis of the Christian virtues of faith, hope, and
charity, generously inspired by the example of the saints;

24. -a catechesis
of the
twofold
commandment
of charity
set forth
in the
Decalogue;

25. - an ecclesial catechesis, for it is through the manifold exchanges
of "spiritual goods" in the "communion of saints" that Christian
life can grow, develop, and be communicated. CCC 1697

26. 1698 The first and last point of reference of this
catechesis will always be Jesus Christ himself,
who is "the way, and the truth, and the life."

27. It is by looking to him in faith that Christ's faithful can hope that he himself
fulfills his promises in them, and that, by loving him with the same love with
which he has loved them, they may perform works in keeping with their dignity:
