VIII. FURTHER STUDY
1. The doctrine of the Person of Christ is a
major doctrine of the New Testament. With
the help of outside sources, such as a book
on doctrine, study the following:
a. the humanity of Christ: Was it real and
perfect? Did Jesus have to be human in


order to make man’s salvation possible? If
so, why?
b. the deity of Christ: Was Jesus truly
God? Did Jesus have to be God to make
salvation possible? If so, why?
c. Jesus as God-man: How could Jesus be
truly God and truly man at the same time!
2. Make an extended study of joy as that
experience is written about in other parts of
Scripture. Among other things, aim at a
biblical definition of genuine joy.

3. Spend further time studying what
Philippians reveals about Paul and about the
Christians at Philippi. For the latter, refer to
such verses as 1:5, 27, 29-30; 3:2; 4:2, 10,
14-18.
