Holiness of life is possible because it is the ____, it is the ____, and it is the ____ of the Holy Spirit.

• A. Law of Moses; Prophecy; Wisdom
• B. Will of God; work of Christ; ministry
• C. Grace; Mercy; Faith
• D. Obedience; Service; Prayer

Answer: (B)

Holiness of life is possible because it flows from a threefold action: it is the will of God, it is the work of Christ, and it is the ministry of the Holy Spirit. God’s will provides the purpose for holy living, Christ’s redemptive work supplies the means and basis for transformation, and the Holy Spirit empowers and applies that work in us, producing holiness in daily life. The other options don’t capture this divine source of sanctification: they either shift focus to Mosaic law, prophetic themes, or wisdom; or they emphasize grace, mercy, and faith in a way that doesn’t highlight the Spirit’s active sanctifying ministry; or they center on obedience, service, and prayer as the primary cause rather than the Trinity-driven process that enables holy living.
