Questions:

(1) At the end of the refinement process, the precious metal is whole and complete. In the same way, we look forward to a day when we will be fully and completely refined, all impurities removed. What do you look forward to God removing in refining you?

(2) Describe the doctrine of Glorification. How does the hope of this doctrine shape the way we live today?

(3) The reality is, today, we are living in the World, under the oppression of the Devil, combating the nature of our Flesh. How can you find joy in your life today, as we await hope and await the Final Day of refinement? (Consider your private life, your intimate life, and your outward life)
