Discussion Questions
-
Are you sure you are a born-again Christian? Explain.
-
Yes, I admit my sinful status, my inability to change it, Christ’s sinless life, and his sacrificial death, I believe in his resurrection and choose to repent and live my life in response to his sacrifice.
-
Yes- I’ve turned from my sins and accepted Jesus as Lord and Savior of my life knowing it’s Him that saves me and not myself.
-
Absolutely.
I know that I am a child of God.
By grace through faith in Jesus Christ my Lord and Savior. -
I am a born-again follower of Christ. I recognized that my sin separated me from the Lord and that I was trying to live a good life through my own futile efforts. I acknowledged Christ’s sacrifice on the cross as God’s gift to me, despite the fact that I had done nothing to earn it. Jesus was the atoning sacrifice, not just for my sin, but for the sins of the whole world. When I accepted Jesus’s gift of salvation, I was washed clean from the sin that separated me from the Father and was welcomed in to God’s family.
-
I am positive that I am a born-again Christian. By faith alone and putting my trust in Jesus as my personal Lord and Savior, I am born again and made new.

They are all ways to grow deeper in relationship with Jesus.. to know him better and to love him more..
-
Bible Study is how we hear from God. We can also hear from God through fellowship with other believers. Prayer is our way of communicating back to God.
-
What new insights did you learn from a careful review of the Scripture readings cited in this lesson?
-
In looking at the biblical requirements for restored fellowship with God, the first point is to “admit that we are sinners and cannot save ourselves.” The second point is a sober reminder of “the seriousness of our sin.” I must accept that I am part of the “all” who “have sinned and fall short of the glory of God” (Romans 3.23 NKJV). Looking around to justify my sin by citing what others do or don’t do is futile. Circling myself to do or undo my failures is a waste of time, energy and anything else God has so graciously given (for His glory). All of our attempts or offerings for “righteousnesses are like filthy rags” (Isaiah 64.6 NKJV). That’s adding insult to injury.
-
I have learned that When you are saved you are fullied with an unearthly amount of joy and I remember this feeling from when I was first saved and it beings great joy to my heart
-
God’s redemptive grace and process in Christ Jesus.
-
I was reminded that it is about what God has done on the cross for me and not my own works. Also, love the call in 2 Peter 3:18 to continue to grow our relationship with Christ through the before mentioned Bible study, prayer, fellowship with other believers. It is a good reminder of how to grow closer to Christ in all areas.
-
I have learned that the Holy Bible is a book about God’s plan of redemption.
