Explain: 2 Corinthians 5.21 God made Him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in Him we might become the righteousness of God. p. 41 |
Christ was without sin. The righteousness of Christ has been credited to all those who believe on His name. |
|
|
Explain: The holiness of Jesus was more than the merely the absence of sin. p.42 |
Jesus conformed perfectly to the will of His Father. John 6.38 Jesus came: "not to do his will, but to do the will of the One who sent Me." |
|
|
What does it mean that holiness has to do with more than mere actions or deeds? p.43 |
God knows our hearts, so: 1. Our motives must be holy, 2. Our thoughts should be holy |
|
|
Why is it true that the more we grow in holiness, the more we need assurance that the righteousness of Christ is credited to us? p. 43 |
This is true because part of growing in holiness is the Holy Spirit making us aware of our sin and therefore our need for holiness. Plus, Satan will attempt to use the Holy Spirit's work to discourage us. (i.e., you call yourself a Christian?) |

Explain: 1 Peter 2.21 ... if you suffer for doing good and you endure it, this is commendable before God. To this you were called, because Christ suffered for you, leaving you an example, that you should follow in His steps. p.45 |
The life and death of Jesus is meant to be an example of holiness for us. Jesus always did what pleased the Father. Even as He was nailed to the cross he had compassion for His crucifiers. This is our example and road to follow. |
