Lesson 1, Point III. The Acceptance of Personal Responsibility - Jude 16-25 The reason I chose this point is because of the truth in it. Before a person is saved, he/she must, by the truth of the Word and the conviction of the Holy Spirit, realize and admit and take personal responsibility for their sin. This same personal responsibility continues throughout the Christian's life. We must take responsibility for our actions.

It shows me that I need to let God be my strength, instead of trying on my own. In fasting, I realize how frail I am, and I realize God's sustaining grace. I love food, so fasting for me, is all about learning self-denial in a new way. I know that God is not saying food or the like of food is bad. But he wants us to practice trusting in him alone, not relying on the physical, or letting the physical control us. God is good, always providing a way for his children to
