Hello everyone!
I hope you are all having a great week in crediting God for what He is doing in your life and looking at your obligations and opportunities with His guidance. This week we will begin Romans 5. Here are some questions to review before we meet on Sunday...
Please read Romans 5:1-5
What are the main themes that you see from this passage?
In verse 1 - What is the therefore referring to from Chapter 4?
In summary, how do you obtain peace (verse 1)? Who does it come from, how do you obtain it?
Starting of verse 2 - Answer honestly, do you, personally, stand in this grace and peace? If not, why? If so, is there anything that is keeping you from this peace day to day? Do you need to give something up to Him and trust him (remember last week's lesson on)? If so, what?
When is the last time you 'boasted in the hope of hte glory of God' - verse 2? Be specific - to whom and what was the situation?
Verse 3 - What sufferings have you had in your life? Do you glory in these sufferings? How can someone glory in their sufferings - be realistic and tactical here - if they don't know God as a SOVEREIGN God? Is it realistic to glory in sufferings? How do you tie verse 1 and peace with these sufferings? How do you TACTICALLY have peace - through what mechanism - when you are suffering to get peace? Is it prayer, bible study, fellowship? If so, do you have a specific time and suffering to point to?
Verse 4 - Detail your definition of these words: perseverence, character, hope. Give an example of where you have had these lived out in your or someone else's life in a suffering... What does that do for the Glory of God? Is it a witness?
Verse 5 - What does it mean that the Holy Spirit has been given to us? Who gave it and what would that mean if you could 'loose' the Holy Spirit? For REAL, is the Holy Spirit poured into your heart? If not, what are you waiting on? If so, what is the difference each day about how you make decisions if He is?
See you Sunday!
Andrew
