Discussion Questions
Does a Supernatural CREATOR exist?
Have you ever met someone who was hostile toward the idea of a higher being called God? Were you ever hostile towards God? What are the factors that drive someone’s skepticism? Why does it make sense to at least believe in a creator?
How do we know that Jesus is God?
Study the statements supporting the deity of Christ (John 1:1-3, 14; 5:18; 8:58; 10:30-33; 20:28; Titus 2:13; Col 1:15-16; 2:9-10; Matt 1:23; 14:33; 28:9; Heb 1:3; 13:8; 2 Peter 1:1; 1 John 5:20; 1 Tim 2:5; Phil 2:5-8; Jude 1:25). Why must Jesus be fully God?
How DEEP is the LOVE of Jesus Christ?
Jesus genuinely loved people (Mark 10:21; John 11:3-5,35-36; 13:1; 14:21; 15:9-10; Gal 2:20; Eph 3:18-19; 5:2; 1 John 3:16; Rev 1:5; 2 Cor 5:14). Have you received His love? And do you show this kind of love to others?
What does it mean to have ETERNAL LIFE?
Did you know that the eternal life God offers you begins the moment you turn from your own will? In 1 John 5:13, the phrase “you have eternal life” is in the present tense. It is not a future hope, but a reality that starts the moment you believe. Does this change the way you live daily?
Do you BELIEVE in Jesus Christ?
Read Romans 10:9-13. Do you believe in your heart that Jesus rose from the dead? Have you called upon Jesus’ name to be saved? Have you professed your faith in Jesus? You might be thinking, “That seems too easy, don’t I have to do more to be saved?” No, because we are saved by God’s grace (Eph 2:8-9).
