Recite & Explain: Hebrews 10.10 p. 32 |
"By God's will we have been made holy through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all."
By God's choosing and His judicial declaration we have holiness through Christ. |
|
|
Explain: Hebrews 12:14 |
"Make every effort to live in peace with everyone and to be holy; without holiness no one will see the Lord."
Holiness is what we are to strive after. |
|
|
Contrast Hebrews 10.10 with Hebrews 12.14 |
Hebrews 10.10 is related to Justification. By God's will we have been made holy by the atoning sacrifice of Jesus. Hebrews 12.14 is related to Sanctification. We are responsible to make every effort to be holy (i.e., to become what God has declared us to be). |
|
|
Does Hebrews 12.14 refer to the holiness we have in Christ? p. 32 |
"make every effort ... to be holy". No. This is a holiness we are to strive after in sanctification; we are to make all efforts toward holiness. |
|
|
Explain: 1 Thessalonians 4:7
p. 32-33 |

1 Corinthians 1.2 To the church of God in Corinth, to those sanctified in Christ Jesus and called to be holy... What does "sanctified in Christ" mean? p. 33 |

|

|
|
What is the purpose of salvation? p.33 |
The whole purpose of salvation is that we be "holy and blameless in His sight" (Ephesians 1:4) |
|
|
What is the relationship between saving faith and a desire for holiness? p. 34 |
The Holy Spirit creates both within us... 1. Saving faith 2. A desire for holiness He does not create one without the other. |
|
|
Why should we pursue holiness? p. 35 |
The pursuit of holiness is required because when He calls us to salvation, God calls us to fellowship with Himself and His Son (1John 1.3). Since God is light and in Him is no darkness (1John 1.5), we cannot have fellowship with Him if we continue to walk in darkness. |
|
|
Does God require a perfect, sinless life to have fellowship with him? p. 35-36 |
No, but God does require that we: 1. be serious about holiness 2. grieve over our sin instead of justifying it 3. earnestly pursue holiness as a way of life. |
|
|
Explain why holiness is required for our own well-being. p. 36 |
Hebrews 12.6

Explain why holiness is necessary for assurance of salvation. p. 37 |
Romans 8.14 For all who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God. The only safe evidence that we are in Christ is a holy life. If we know nothing of holiness, we do not have the Holy Spirit dwelling within us. |
