DISCUSSION
Answer the following questions after you have finished the lecture. They will help you identify and summarize the major points. • Which person of the Godhead initiated the plan of salvation? If you are in a group, have the members discuss how they tend to view the role that God the Father plays in the work of redemption. Consider asking questions such as these: Why do you believe that we have a tendency to think about the Son as the One who makes the Father willing to be gracious to us? How does a right understanding of the Father’s role in initiating the plan of salvation magnify the grace of the gospel? • Why is the insistence that one has to observe the Jewish law in order to be right with God destructive of the true gospel? If you are in a group, have the members discuss the various ways that we may subtly fall into the trap of adding something to the finished work of Christ for a right standing with God. Consider questions such as this: Do you ever think or act as though your standing with God were based on something other than or in addition to Christ? • How can believers be zealous to maintain the truth of the gospel? If you are in a group, have each member discuss the importance of preaching the gospel to himself or herself. Consider asking questions such as these: How often do you purposefully preach the gospel to yourself? What practical benefit is there to preaching the gospel to yourself? |
