QUICK REVIEW
READ Romans 5:6-11
This passage talks about being reconciled to God through the death of Jesus on the cross. How does this process of being reconciled to God prove His great love for us? How does it amplify the idea of us being powerless to help ourselves?

DIGGING DEEPER
READ Galatians 2:15-16
Do you think it is easier for us to live our lives by rules and traditions or by faith? Explain your answer.

READ John 17:24-26
Why was Jesus going to continue to make the Father known? What are some ways that the world tries to have a relationship with God apart from having a relationship with Jesus?
