Required for MDiv― 4 credits. Prerequisite: CT503― Cessationism vs. Continuism
Scripture calls us to spiritual maturity yet we continue to see childlike behavior among the Christians we know and we behave in ways we ourselves often regret.
What is it that keeps us from living without regret and experiencing real freedom in Christ?
As our spiritual life forms and builds, we may be unaware of the process started in childhood which steals our ability to truly put into practice what we learn about living in Christ. By understanding this process, we can overcome negative thoughts, irrational feelings and habitual sins.
Through personal introspection and knowing who we are in Him, we can experience real transformation with the help of the Holy Spirit. This study will not only be helpful to you personally, but profoundly effective in your ministry to others.
