May 10 |The Verdict That Changes Everything
Romans 8:1-17
Discussion Questions
Three general questions for digging deeper:
- What does this text teach us about God?
- What does this text teach us about ourselves?
- If this text is true, what should we do to obey this teaching?
Questions specific to the May 10 sermon from Romans 8:
-
Paul opens with a sweeping verdict: “There is therefore no condemnation…” how does this differ from how people often view God’s judgment? Where do you still tend to live as if condemnation is hanging over you?
-
Paul contrasts the “law of sin and death” with the “law of the Spirit of life”: How would you explain the difference between living under the law versus living by the Spirit in your own words?
-
What are some ways we can “set our minds” on the Spirit in daily life?
-
How does seeing yourself as adopted by God confront fears or insecurities you face in day to day life? How can the Spirit help you live with greater assurance?
