Episode notes
Doctrine Leads Into Ethics
- Paul moves from doctrine to ethics, beginning with sexuality as primary real-life application.
- Sexual behavior reveals deeper spiritual reality and desires that shape a Christian's life.
Holiness Is Comprehensive
- Holiness (sanctification) is God's will for believers, affecting spirit, soul, and body.
- Holiness means being set apart for God and involves both status and ongoing transformation.
Both God And You Work Holiness
- Sanctification is both divine and human: we act, but God effects change within us.
- Paul and Habig stress cooperative agency: we work out salvation while God works in us.
