The process of sanctification is determined to the extent of your effort of cooperating with the Holy Spirit!
Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.
Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will. (Rom 12:1-2, NIV)
1. What personal responsibility do you observe here? Circle key words to help your observations!
We have much to say about this, but it is hard to make it clear to you because you no longer try
to understand. In fact, though by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to teach you the elementary truths
of God's word all over again. You need milk, not solid food! Anyone who lives on milk, being still an infant, is not
acquainted with the teaching about righteousness. But solid food is for the mature, who by constant use have trained
themselves to distinguish good from evil. (Heb 5:11-14, NIV)
In the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who will judge the living and the dead, and in view
of his appearing and his kingdom, I give you this charge: Preach the word; be prepared in season and out of season; correct,
rebuke and encourage—with great patience and careful instruction. For the time will come when people will not put up with
sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what
their itching ears want to hear. They will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths. But you, keep your
head in all situations, endure hardship, do the work of an evangelist, discharge all the duties of your ministry. (2 Tim
4:1-5, NIV)
2. What personal responsibility do you observe here?
Yet a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in the
Spirit and in truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks. God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship
in the Spirit and in truth. (John 4:23-24, NIV)
3. What personal responsibility do you observe here?
And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in
mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord's people. (Eph 6:18, NIV)
Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with
thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your
hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. (Phil 4:6-7, NIV)
4. What personal responsibility do you observe here?
Brothers and sisters, if someone is caught in a sin, you who live by the Spirit should restore
that person gently. But watch yourselves, or you also may be tempted. Carry each other's burdens, and in this way you will
fulfill the law of Christ. (Gal 6:1-2, NIV)
And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds, not giving up
meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another—and all the more as you see the Day
approaching. (Heb 10:24-25, NIV)
