Lesson 11 — The Work of God in Us
When we place our faith in Jesus Christ, God offers more than forgiveness for our past. He also begins a work of transformation within us. This lesson explores sanctification—the process by which God sets believers apart for His service and shapes their lives according to His character.
Lesson Overview
The lesson examines God’s desire for His people to live holy lives and explains why this work cannot be accomplished through outward behaviour alone. Through the Holy Spirit and the power of God’s Word, believers are changed from within. Sanctification is presented as a work of God’s grace that prepares His people to meet Christ and grow in the likeness of His character.
