This study teaches that involvement in the work of God is not optional but required to maintain salvation. It explains that believers who refuse to engage in good works deny God by their actions and are described in Scripture as disobedient, reprobate, and detestable in God’s eyes. The study shows that good works are the works God commands, preaching the Gospel, serving the body, giving, supporting ministry, and bearing fruit. It confronts excuses, rejects passive Christianity, and calls believers to active participation as proof of living faith.
This study explains sanctification as a progressive process carried out by the Holy Spirit through obedience to the Word of God. It distinguishes sanctification from justification and righteousness, showing that sanctification is purification and consecration for holy living. The study teaches that sanctification does not occur automatically, but requires submission, study, obedience, and endurance. It explains why God allows sanctification to take time, showing that gradual holiness humbles believers, strengthens dependence on God, produces testimony, and prepares the soul for eternal glory.
This study defines justification as being rendered innocent and cleared of guilt before God. It rejects the idea that justification comes by belief or faith alone and demonstrates from Scripture that justification involves Christ’s sacrifice, belief, faith, grace, and obedience expressed through good works. The study emphasizes that justification is ongoing, conditional, and must be maintained, warning that believers must qualify through obedience rather than assume justification automatically.
This study explains that righteousness and holiness are closely related but distinct from justification. It teaches that righteousness is living in obedience to God’s commandments and that Scripture repeatedly identifies righteous people by what they do. The study confronts false teachings that claim righteousness is automatic or imputed without obedience and shows that disciples are commanded to pursue righteousness actively. It emphasizes that righteousness comes through obedience, study, correction, and separation from unrighteousness.
This study defines biblical joy as a work of the Holy Spirit that is not dependent on circumstances. It shows that joy flows from faith, obedience, justification, and fellowship with God, even in suffering, persecution, and trials. The study contrasts temporary emotional happiness with spiritual joy and demonstrates that true joy strengthens believers to endure hardship, remain faithful, and finish their course with perseverance.
This study explains the fruit of the Spirit as the visible evidence of the Holy Spirit working in a believer’s life. It defines “fruit” as actions and results, not intentions or words, and contrasts the fruit of the Spirit with the works of the flesh. The study emphasizes that these fruits identify true disciples and demonstrate transformation, showing that spiritual fruit is the outcome of obedience, submission, and life led by the Spirit.
This study defines biblical peace as wholeness, security, and harmony with God that results from justification and faithfulness. It teaches that peace is not the absence of trouble but stability in the midst of tribulation. The study explains that long-suffering is required to maintain peace and that believers are called to endure hardship without compromising truth, obedience, or holiness.
This study explains goodness and gentleness as moral strength submitted to God’s authority. It teaches that gentleness is not weakness, but controlled power guided by humility, truth, and love. The study emphasizes correcting others with patience, forgiving offenses, rejecting pride, and submitting personal judgment to God’s wisdom. It shows that true gentleness upholds holiness while remaining firm in truth.
This study presents meekness and self-control as disciplined submission to God rather than passivity. It teaches that meekness is strength under restraint and that self-control is evidence of spiritual maturity and Spirit-led living. The study emphasizes mastery over desires, emotions, and reactions, showing that believers who walk in meekness and temperance demonstrate obedience, stability, and readiness for God’s use.
