Rescued, Part 3: God and the Jews
The law cannot save, it can only reveal sin. Relying on good works cancels the work of Christ. We are saved by grace alone, yet we are still called to obey Jesus and His commands.
DISCUSSION QUESTIONS FOR SHEPHERD GROUPS
- What stood out to you in this message?
- Discuss how easy it is for believers to see the law (commands of God) as a measuring stick we use to compare ourselves to other and feel superior.
- Discuss why it is difficult for followers of Christ to maintain a humble spirit, embracing our brokenness before God.
- Read Galatians 2:20-21. Discuss the interface between living by faith and the matter of works.
- In John 14:21 Jesus says if you love me you will do what I say. Read the passage and then discuss the place of obedience in the life of the believer.
