Discussion Questions
-
Why is it impossible to do this in your own strength? How has Christ helped you in following Him?
-
Because in my own strength I will make mistakes and push away those I’m trying to reach. Even the one teaching the fakes doctrine. By giving me hope, strength, knowledge, and the desire to know Him more. By pa vine the way for me.
-
He provides even when I am unsure
-
only through letting God to guide our lives can we overcome our fallen natures and follow the path God wants for us
-
Christ has helped me in following Him because I cannot do this in my own strength. If we are children of the most high God, we will always need help from our heavenly Father. Children will always need help from their mother, father, sister, or brother. Therefore, in the natural we have to ask for help from those who are much older or those with years of experience.
God knows everything, we do not. Therefore, I will always need His help.
Christ has helped me in following Him by giving me the New and Old Testaments as my instructional guide to life. When I read His instructional manual and follow His perfect plan, I know He is helping me to follow Him. -
It is his life in me which strengthen me.
-
In 3 John we learned how to deal with someone teaching false doctrine. How do you respond to teachings that contradict Scripture?
-
I disregard them.
-
How do you respond to teachings that contradict scripture?
As I think about the truth of the word of God. I asked myself, “How can I identify the truth and separate the lie?” But, how do I respond to teachings that contradict scripture? I would first check my heart for a self-control alert. Then, I would search the truth by double check the scripture to make sure contradiction took place. If so, I would let God be the judge. -
I usually listen and ask questions regarding why they believe what they do, and then I share what I believe.
-
You know what you know to be true. If you feel comfortable you minister to them but if you do not, you pray for them.
-
I have always been very shy. In the past, I would simply listen and then walk away. Now, I do believe that I could loving discuss the Scripture.
-
In commenting on 1 John, Dr. Buzzell said, “If you want to be convinced that you are in Christ, then you have to live the way Christ taught you to live.” Why?
-
because only by applying what Christ taught us to our lives shows that we truly accept Crist and His teachings
-
If I want to be convinced that I am in Christ, then I have to live the way Christ taught me to live.
I have made a commitment to live for Christ. I gave my life to Jesus in 1986. I was a babe in Christ in that year because I was considered a new Christian. Babies need milk in order to get strong bones. They also feed on food that will not choke them. But once they began to grow, they are given stronger food to swallow along with thicker pieces to chew on.
Well the same example could be used for your spiritual relationship with Christ. During your first year as a new Christian, you may not live your life to the fullest according to the word of God because you need to be taught God’s word. Therefore, you would need to feed yourself with the word every day and get stronger in your spirit as well as apply what you’ve learned. As you apply the word more and more, then you will become convinced that you are in Christ because your actions will speak for you. Your behavior and lifestyle will also display to others that you are living the way Christ has taught you to live. -
The way I live is the evidence of my salvation in Christ.
-
You have to walk like and talk like it to truly try to achieve it.
-
In everything you say, everything you do, do it in Christ’s image. Living by Christ’s example, as explained in the Gospels leads you to the path of righteousness.
