The believer's justification and heirship.

Believers are regenerated and renewed by the Holy Spirit.

Paul's role as an apostle and preacher of God's Word was assigned to him by God. In this lesson Paul expresses the reality that God has arranged the body of Christ into an organized system comprised of believers assigned to varying roles. Find out more in this lesson from Titus 1:3-4.

Paul's role in the body of Christ was given to him by God. Yet, Paul had to choose whether or not he would fulfill his role in obedience to God. The same is true for all believers. This lesson works through the first two verses of Titus and identifies details surrounding Paul's role, who the elect of God are, and the believer's ability to trust a God who has never misrepresented reality.

Paul's letter to Titus calls believers to engage carefully in good works, not as a means to salvation but as evidence of transformation. As we study Titus, we'll discover what good deeds actually look like in God's eyes versus human standards, and how to maintain spiritual integrity when surrounded by cultural values that oppose biblical truth.

There is no lack of reason to rejoice if you are a believer in Christ! So why does it seem like many believers are not constantly joyful? It all comes down to the believer's thought process. Believers who get caught up in the here and now of the world around them will displace their joy for trouble. But by maintaining a spiritual perspective during their life believers can remain joyful always.

Harmony among family members is difficult when selfishness leads the way. Believers are members of the same family and the same body; disharmony within either concept destroys effective production of spiritual growth and fruit. So how can harmony be restored and lead the way in relationships between believers? Find out in this lesson from Philippians 4.

It's always good to review previously learned information. This lesson seeks to remind believers about what their thought process should be focused on while they live out their physical lives as ambassadors for God.

This final lesson in the series focuses on the eternal rewards that believers receive for their good works. But what really constitutes a good work in God's eyes? Find out more in this lesson as you continue developing a mindset focused on living in light of eternity.

What kind of sower are you? The Bible teaches believers that they can either sow spiritually and reap righteous fruit that is eternal or sow fleshly and reap corrupt fruit that is perishable. Find out more about what you sow in this lesson on sowing eternal fruit.

Have you ever gotten caught up in conflict only to find that you weren't actually at odds with what you originally thought you were? Believers must be on guard so that they don't mistakenly think they are fighting against the world and people around them. Living in light of eternity means recognizing that everything is a part of the spiritual battle brought on by Satan & Co.'s rebellion. Find out more about being developing an eternal perspective when faced with conflict.

Have you ever wondered what God wanted you to do or what decision He wanted you to make? Understanding God's will can be a tricky thing for sight-based humanity. But, by learning to walk by faith and renovating the mind to match God's, the believer can both understand and carry out God's will. Find out more in this lesson on learning to live in light of the eternal will of God.

What is shaping you and your behavior? Is it the temporary, perishable things of the time you're living in? Or is it the eternal, imperishable realities of the spiritual life? Find out more about presenting your body to God as a vessel for Him to use as He pleases in this lesson.

There are plenty of things to love about what this world has to offer. But do those things warrant being loved more than God? The answer is emphatically, "NO!" Find out more about living in light of eternity in this challenging lesson to love the Creator more than His creation.

Believers in Christ are citizens of heaven as a result of their spiritual birth into the family of God. What does that mean about the believer's perspective of this world around them? Find out in this introduction to developing an eternal mindset.

If the believer is going to live for eternity, he must recognize that heaven, not earth, is his home. Only then will the believer be successful in his pursuit of living as if he no longer has a sin nature. Find out more in this lesson that reviews key truths about the believer's entrance into God's nation and the eternal future he has in Christ.

How do you move through the moments of your life? Do you follow your desires, urges, and hankerings, or do you follow righteousness, truth, and God's will? Paul identifies that there are two different thought process between faithful believers and unfaithful believers or non-believers. Find out more about what takes place in you each moment you walk through your life in this lesson.

Have you forgotten that God has a plan for your spiritual life with an end goal in mind? Believers have to set their mind on the finish line of eternal life in order to stay focused on fulfilling that plan. Find out more in this lesson about His promise and plan for you.

Are you perfect? Then you don't have to obey Paul's instruction...doesn't sound quite right, does it? Find out why in this lesson that deals with positional and experiential differences in the believer's spiritual life.

Have you ever wished you could change the past? Unfortunately, we can't. But we can correct our thinking and move forward in God's plan for our life by repenting and confessing sin. Find out about Paul's perspective of living the spiritual life and pursuing the future in this lesson.

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to not have your sinful nature? Paul says he made it his aim to live as if his sin nature was already removed from him. This can only be done by staying in fellowship with God and growing into spiritual maturity.
