Topic 23: Any place for let go & let God?
Question: In light of the discussion in ch. 18 of How People Grow, do you think there’s a place for being completely passive, letting go & letting God, in the Christian life? (Be sure to do more research into the issue. If the group cannot come to a consensus, feel free to have different group members each express their own opinions.)
Some religious theories have similarties and differences, especially when it comes to sanctification. Sanctifiacation is known as an act of God which he eliminates sin in a saints life. The main religion view is connected to faith in God, but some views on sanctification are contrastive as well.
The Keswick theology states that we as people get complete victory over sin, if we just surrender to Jesus. This can be a form of letting go and letting God. Even though Keswick beliefs are connected with God's love just like the Wesleyan point of view, Wesleyan's theory appear unalike. Wesleyan is known as "theology of love"; God's love.
Even though these views on religion or so called theories seem to view santification different, they still seem to view faith the same. In life people need faith to get by and this faith consists of letting go and letting god in control. For Keswick states that all sin is attained by faith. Therefore our faith for God helps to take our sin away and to help us get rid of sin that we continue to be tempted to do.
