Application Questions:
1. Read Jeremiah 17:9-10 and Matthew 15:18-20. Why do you think people generally avoid introspection and contemplating their sins? What is the danger of trying to ignore sinful impulses and actions?
2. Read 1 John 3:8. How does this verse and its ties to such large biblical themes help you to see sin for what it is, and begin to rightly consider the importance of what Christ came to do in your life?
3. Read Romans 5:6-11 and 1 Timothy 1:12-17. What is the most motivating part of these important passages? What does it prompt you to do? How does it challenge the way you think about God’s grace?
4. Read Psalm 32:3-6. Why is it important, when considering the topic of God’s grace, to underscore this related topic? How would you encourage someone to be responsive to this kind of conviction of the Holy Spirit?
5. Read Romans 5:20 – 6:4. How would you describe to someone that God’s costly grace granted to us in Christ, if rightly understood, is never an excuse or permission to keep on sinning?
