Chapter 7
1. What does it mean the spiritual life is a “cooperative effort” and what do you believe this implies?
I believe what Scott is saying is that life with Christ is participatory. It involves us actively pursuing growth and understanding of ourselves, God and others better. This process does not just happened automatically but only after we chase after God and what He desires.

2. Some denominations believe that the gift of the Holy Spirit can be gained and lost. Can human‟s affect the work of the Holy Spirit to the point where it can be lost and regained in one‟s life?
I do not believe that we can lose the Holy Spirit. Once He comes He is there to stay.

3. What is the purpose of the Sermon on the Mount as presented by Scott? How does Scott's understanding contribute to the sanctification process?
Scotts understanding of the Sermon on the Mount leads us to understand that it was there to help us know how to live according to the law. As the theme of this chapter was sanctification, I believe the Sermon on the Mount is there to help us through the process of sanctification.
