C. Module 6: Week 6

3 concepts that improved, clarified, or adjusted my knowledge from this week\u2019s reading.
There is a definite link between justification and sanctification. Grunewald expresses it
this way, \u201cJustification always effects our sanctification. In other words, the grace that
saves us also changes us\u201d (Grunewald, p. 105). This connection is rooted in Jesus Christ
who is at work within us re-creating us to be people who love the people around us.
The gifts and opportunities God gives us are so that we can serve the people around us.
They are not because \u201cHe\u201d needs something. We are given them because \u201cthey\u201d needs
something. Grunewald writes, \u201cOur neighbors need our good works. Jesus doesn\u2019t need
our love and service by our neighbors do. Jesus doesn\u2019t need our food in order to survive,
but our neighbors might. Jesus doesn\u2019t need us to protects Him and care for Him but our
children do need care and protection\u201d (Grunewald, p. 110). Thus, we are blessed to be a
blessing. We have received good things so that we can share those good things with our
neighbors.
The transformation in the believer is being orchestrated by Jesus and it turns our curved
inward bend to an outward bend. In other words, we are being reshaped so that instead of
an inward gaze at our own life we have an outward look to the needs of our neighbor.
Grunewald notes, \u201cJesus turns our inward curves out toward our neighbors. When
selfishness has made us worship only what pleases us, Jesus is at work in us making us
forget ourselves. Jesus gives us new sight as we see our neighbors the way He sees our
neighbors\u201d (Grunewald, p. 124). One practical outgrowth of sanctification is that we
begin to see the needs of others and the way in which God has gifted us to meet those
needs.<\/p>\n
2 ideas that are crucial from this week\u2019s reading.
Concupiscence: This theological word is not something we hear used frequently today.
However, its definition is one that describes the human condition. To that end,
\u201cConcupiscence is the desire and the lusting of the heart towards sin\u201d (Grunewald, p. 25)
Luther\u2019s interpretation of Deuteronomy 6:6: This is an understanding of this passage that
I was not aware of nor had been previously exposed to. Luther sees the terms in this verse
as more practical rather than religious. To that end, \u201c\u2018between your eyes\u2019 means all our
thoughts must be directed by these words, and the phases to write them on the doorposts
of your house and on your gates\u2019 means that all our senses and particularly our tongue
must be directed and applied according to these words\u201d (Grunewald, p. 112). <\/p>\n

1 way I can use what you have read.
Grunewald talks about hiding in chapter 1. More specifically, he talks about the way we
have learned to hide things as it relates to social media. He writes, \u201cWe\u2019ve become
experts at hiding. We filter our lives and crop out the sadness so that everybody sees a
version of us that has everything together…This is the unwritten law of social media:
show the best version of your life and hide the mess (Grunewald, p.12). With this in
mind, I will focus on personal contentment rather than personal dissatisfaction as I
consume information on social media. I will remind myself that what I am looking at is a
highlight reel with all of the sadness cropped out.<\/p>\n
