We have spoken of bringing the disciple to behold the loveliness of God in himself, in the face of his incarnate Son, and in his personal appointment and care of our individual existence. This is a process that must go hand in hand with the second main objective in a curriculum for Christlikeness. That, as we have said, is the breaking of the power of patterns of wrongdoing and evil that govern our lives because of our long habituation to a world alienated from God. We must learn to recognize these habitual patterns for what they are and escape from their grasp.14
