Notes for January 16, 2011

I trust all of you are having a great week.  Please be in prayer for the items sent out this week via email.  If you are not on the email list please email me at andrew@autuscoaching.com and I will ensure you are added.

Some reading and questions to get your ready for this Sunday's lesson:

Please read Romans 3:12 to 3:31.

1) Explain the difference between 3:20 and 3:21?

2) What dependence do we have on the Law for salvation?

3) Why does verse 22 matter?  What is the manner of justification and is there a differentiation on the manner?  Who is this verse to?

4) Verse 23 is a well known verse - what is the end of coming short?  If you come short of a goal what does that mean?  Do you get to it?  What does this verse mean to the human race, your neighbor, your relative?  Does this verse do anything at all to our thoughts on if we should be evangelists?  Why?

5) What words are important in verse 24 and why?
"and are justified" - means...
"Freely" - means...
"By His Grace" - means....
"through the redemption" - means...

6) What does it mean that God had set forth in verse 25?  When was the plan for Christ initiated?  How are sins forgiven?  How does shedding of blood work in the old testament vs. the new?  Why is it necessary?

7) What does it mean that God is invioably righteous even while he is the merciful justifier (from Wesley's comments on these scriptures)?

8) What does verse 27 do to you?  What does it do to the church and the people in it?  What would we NOT be talking about vs. what WOULD we be talking about?

9) What do you have when you have faith (vs 28) vs what do you have when you have works?  why is this important day to day?  Why would this be important to your kids?

10) Verses 29 and 30 - Why do these verses matter today?

11) What does the Law attest to?  In verse 31 is the Law voided?

Hope you have a great week.  We will go over the above this Sunday.

Andy
