Lesson 4

This week our focus is on the "Let Us" passage found in II Corinthians 7:1

"Therefore, having these promises, beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all defilement of flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God."

Look for the keywords in this verse.  What about this word "defilement".  What does it mean exactly?  What other word is used for defilement in other translations?   What or who was the source of the Corinthians' defilement?

What does it mean to "perfect" holiness?  Are we perfect in God's sight?  Why or why not?

Can we perfect holiness without cleansing ourselves?  

What does it mean to fear God?

Can we be holy if we do not fear God?
