Too often from our human vantage point we get the very heart of Christianity reversed. Christianity is not an "out-side-in" education and training of a person. It is instead an "inside-out" life: Christ living within us influences the whole person — spirit, soul and body. We can persevere in the Christian life only by allowing the life of Jesus to influence our actions from within until we individually are "filled with the fullness of God" — result: "inside-out Christianity"

This study is particularly well-suited for ladies' Bible classes.
