Life Group Questions:
- Christ loved us and gave Himself for us even when we hated him and sin separated us from Him. If you have received this grace (unmerited favor) from the Lord, how does it impact the way you interact with others?
- As Christians we have the perfect truth as outlined in the Bible and the life of Christ, yet Jesus told his followers that the world know they were his disciples by their love. Do you struggle with the balance of truth and love? If we asked your friends/family/co-workers to describe you, would love be in that description?
- When you see “lawlessness” in people, do you find yourself spurred more quickly to love or to action?
