Looking for a City: The Life of Abraham, Part 3

DISCUSSION QUESTIONS FOR SHEPHERD GROUPS

  1. Read and discuss Genesis 15:1-6 and Galatians 3. What do these verses tell you about man? About God?
  2. What is the purpose of “the law” as described in Galatians 3?
  3. What is the relationship between Christ, faith, and the law?
  4. What does the term “belief in Jesus” really mean?
  5. How would you describe or explain “imputed righteousness”  and “the great exchange” to someone not familiar with those terms?
  6. In what ways do people “mix” the Gospel (i.e., believing Jesus plus _____ saves)? What do you depend on besides or in addition to Christ for your salvation?
