Please post your answers to the following questions here:
1. The Wesleyan View of sanctification teaches that one can become perfect (without sin) in this life. Do you think that a person can be perfect? Why or why not.
2. The flesh is the energizing principle within all people that inclines them toward sin. Do you think people are born with particular sin tendencies?
3. Many people excuse and justify sinful behaviors saying that the reason they engage in them is because they were “born this way.” How does the fact that we are all born with the flesh help to respond to such an argument? Explain.
4. How can we work with God in our sanctification process? What is our part? What is God’s part?
5. How can a complete surrender or dedication to God help us in our battle against sin? Explain.
6. Why is it that orthodoxy (right teaching) must precede orthopraxy (right doctrine)?
7. Discuss the validity of this statement: “Only when one understands and believes what God has done for them will they be motivated to serve Him in truth.”
8. How was your thinking challenged the most by the lesson? Explain.
