Response of Grace

Part 3

By: Mike Mazzalongo     Posted: August, 2016
In this class, we look at the Law and Abraham as we begin chapter 4 of Romans. We'll also take a short 6 question "Faith Check" quiz.
Discussion Questions
  1. The lesson shows that Abraham was declared righteous before circumcision. How does this truth demonstrate that righteousness is available to both Jews and Gentiles–and how does it shape our understanding of salvation today?
  2. Paul contrasts salvation as a wage earned by works versus a gift received by faith. Why is it important to keep this distinction clear in our Christian walk?
  3. David's story reminds us that even grievous sins can be forgiven through faith, not restitution. How does this encourage us in our own struggles with sin and guilt?
  4. Abraham believed God's promise "against hope" (Romans 4:18). What does it look like for us to hold on to faith when our circumstances seem to contradict God's promises?
  5. The summary "faith test" asks direct questions about belief in Jesus' death, resurrection, forgiveness, and eternal life. Which of these truths is easiest for you to believe, and which is most challenging? Why?
