Discussion Questions
-
Are you sure you are a born-again Christian? Explain.
-
I believe in Jesus Christ, He died for us and was raised from the dead.
-
yes, I have repented to God, been baptized and now live my life serving the Lord, my God
-
Yes, because I have received and confess that Jesus is my saviour.
-
Am I a reborn Christian? The question and answer are very important. I know that I am a reborn Christian. That is because Christ is the one who organizes my life and Christ is the one who saves me from sin. Also, my neighbors sometimes say, “God loves you!.”
-
Yes, beyond the shadow of a doubt! I confessed my sins, repented, and surrendered my life to the Lord at the age of 10. Thank you to my AWANA teachers! 🙂
-
Explain how Bible study, fellowship, and prayer can be called different forms of spiritual communication.
-
Bible study is exactly that – it’s consistent time in His word, studying the scriptures. It’s how we learn!
Fellowship is where we come together as fellow believers in Christ, and encourage one another as we seek to advance His Kingdom.
Prayer is our intimate, personal relationship with Jesus. This is how we directly communicate with the One in whom we have placed our trust. -
Bible study is getting to know God’s redemptive plan, but moreso His character–who He is as the one True God, with all His attributes perfectly unified. He speaks directly to us through His word, through His Spirit in prayer, and through fellowship with other Christ followers.
-
The way that we, as Christians, can get to know God is through His Word. The Bible is the holy, inerrant, inspired Word of God, which allows us to learn more about Him. Through fellowship, believers are built up in community as we all grow in our walk with the Lord. We seek God in prayer to give Him praise, ask for forgiveness, cast our burdens on Him, and ask for things such as wisdom and discernment in this life. Prayer is how we directly communicate to our God, who is loving and abundant in mercy.
-
All involve communication with each other about the things of God and communication with God Himself. In Bible Study, we’re allowing opportunity for God to speak to us; in fellowship we’re allowing for people to speak and encourage us and vice versa, and in prayer we’re speaking to God.
-
Bible study is how we can know God, help others understand their walk in the faith is fellowship, and prayer is how we communicate with Jesus our needs for this life.
-
What new insights did you learn from a careful review of the Scripture readings cited in this lesson?
-
Jesus came to save us from ourselves, and to allow us to be reborn again.
-
There was not a lot of new content for me. However, I was reminded of the importance of discipleship and becoming more like Jesus.
-
I am not a patient person. Realizing that things happen in God’s time as opposed to mine wasn’t necessarily new, but a needed reminder. I have struggled in the past with trying to fill myself with things of this world, not realizing that I was really needing God. I just didn’t know how to begin my relationship.
-
Nothing new, necessarily. Just a refresher on what I’ve known to be true since the day I accepted Jesus as my Lord and savior.
-
I’ve been walking with the Lord since 2003, so nothing new from this section.
