TW 703 from PFHL Course 233-- Christians’ Responsibility for Righteousness

(Special Compilation of Verses by Bill Stevenson)

Directions: First try to determine why each verse is in the section it is in and how it can be
applied to living in today’s world. If you really believe most of the verses, please tell
me which ones. Also, indicate any questions or doubts you might have about the
verses you don’t believe. Or/and write an essay as if you had the opportunity to try to
persuade a new Christian to want to be more Christ-like everyday. This assignment
is worth 4 units, so write at least 5 quality pages (single spaced lines and no
redundancies).
