8. Faith can be living or dead and the indicator of true, spiritual, living faith, is always works . (Works _______ we are saved, not works to be saved.)

12. Through the whole of this study I have endeavored to show that God gives all to us. He gave us our faith through Adam , our call to turn from the natural exercise of it to the spiritual , and instructions on its use after salvation to enhance our lives and by our use of it in Christ He wants to give us "... life , and that they might have [it] more (pick one) beautifully atrociously abundantly wealthily lovingly."
13. God has taken us in these pages from asking Christ to increase our faith, to an understanding that He has given us the way to do that for ourselves- (pick one) DO OBEISANCE TO IT COVER IT BIND IT USE IT KILL IT, order it to go to a specific task, make it our servant, not our master.
