The world tells us that, while we are not perfect, we are on our way and to reach that goal effectively, restraints should be dismissed. This world view excludes God, spiritual realities, and our ultimate responsibility before God. Join Dr. James Boice on The Bible Study Hour as he demonstrates how man’s world view has especially influenced our perspectives on the sacred covenant of marriage.
Those who are in Christ have been justified before God. But salvation means much more; it means that we are sanctified, that God actually leads us into holiness. As Michael Allen and company explain, our holiness is carried out in the present work of our sovereign, loving God. In Christ we are given life, not simply in name, but in fact. Praise the Lord, who delivers His children through every weakness. Though you struggle with sin, do not be discouraged; it is God who works in you, "both to will and to work for his good pleasure" (Phil. 2:13).
