Discussion Questions
  1. How does the Law's revelation of sin function as a doorway–rather than a dead end–into the grace of Christ (Romans 3:20-24; Romans 5:20; Galatians 3:24)?
  2. Where have you seen a clearer grasp of grace lead you to a deeper, more personal knowledge of God (Colossians 1:6, Colossians 1:9-10; II Peter 3:18)?
  3. What practices help you keep your joy rooted in knowing God rather than in changing circumstances (I John 1:3-4; John 17:13; Philippians 4:4)?
