Dear fellow Douloi
This coming Friday we will again delve into 1John and …yes…I know… we will still discuss introductory questions. But I believe that this will be a very helpful study for your daily walk as a Christian and therefore I did not want to skip it. You can prepare yourself studying the questions below, but I will give plenty of time to study those questions in groups on Friday as well.
I am looking forward to another great discussion and fellowship.
In His service
Pascal
STUDY PREPARATION:
1) Study Jeremiah 31:31-33 and answer the following questions:
a) What is the main difference between the old and the new covenant?
b) How is this truth shedding light on the difficult passage in 1John 3:9?
c) What does Jeremiah 31:34 contribute to the understanding of 1John 2:27?
d) What are therefore the basic truths, that every Christian knows instinctively (taught by the Holy Spirit), and that therefore constitute non-negotiable truths of the Christian faith? (Especially consider 1John 4:1-6)
2) Study Ezekiel 36:24-27 and answer the following questions
e) What effect will this New Covenant have on the recipients? (v.27)
f) How is this passage shedding light on 1John 2:3/ 2:29?
g) How is this contributing to our assurance of salvation?
h) Knowing all this, what do you think do the following theological terms mean?
h1) Regeneration (2Cor 5:17; 1Cor 2:14)
h2) Justification (Rom 3:21-26)
h3) Positional Sanctification (1Cor 1:2/ 1Cor 6:11)
h4) Progressive Sanctification (1Thess 4.3/ Heb 12:14)
i) Why is it important to know the difference between those terms for daily application?
