04: Being and Doing – Lesson Plan — 2 Comments

  1. c. Personal Application: Why is it easier to see the faults of others than those of our own?
    Because we see others clearly while we often excuse ourselves.

    d. Case Study: One of your relatives states: “Salvation is by grace, not by works. So our works have nothing to do with our salvation. That would be legalism.” How would you respond to your relative?
    I would suggest that “Salvation” is made up of three parts and ask them to answer these 3 questions.
    1) Saved by whom
    2) Saved from what
    3) Saved for what purpose
    My answers would be:
    1) Saved by Jesus’ grace
    2) Saved from sin
    3) Saved to have a character and actions like Jesus
    I would then ask them how do we know what is the character of Jesus

    c. Personal Application: Is it easier to fall into sin when you are with someone, or when you are alone? Why is this? Share your thoughts.
    It depends on the friend – we are easily influenced either way to sin or not to sin – if this is true I need to consider my level of commitment to Jesus

    d. Case Study: One of your neighbors states, “Why are the Ten Commandments called the “perfect law of liberty”? I thought the law led to bondage, not freedom.” How would you respond to your neighbor?
    I would say, it is sin that puts us in bondage to Satan, we are condemned by breaking the law not by obeying the law.

    Joh_8:33 They answered unto him, We are Abraham's seed, and have never yet been in bondage to any man: how sayest thou, Ye shall be made free?
    Joh 8:34 Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Every one that committeth sin is the bondservant of sin.
    Rom_6:6 knowing this, that our old man was crucified with him, that the body of sin might be done away, that so we should no longer be in bondage to sin;
    Rom 6:14 For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under law, but under grace.
    Rom 6:15 What then? shall we sin, because we are not under law, but under grace? God forbid.
    Rom 6:16 Know ye not, that to whom ye present yourselves as servants unto obedience, his servants ye are whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness?
    Rom 6:17 But thanks be to God, that, whereas ye were servants of sin, ye became obedient from the heart to that form of teaching whereunto ye were delivered;
    Rom 6:18 and being made free from sin, ye became servants of righteousness.
