In this week’s message, entitled “Family Resemblance”, we examined 1 John 3:1-3. We heard how our adoption as children of God changes our past, present and future. In order to better understand the fulness of how our adoption changes who we are, let us consider these questions:
1. How is your struggle against sin a sign of your sonship?
2. Why should you be thankful if you are brought to the place of mourning over your sin?
3. How does it affect you to know that having a family resemblance as God’s child is not about already being perfect but being engaged in a process of change?
4. You heard that when you came into the God’s family, God stopped keeping score. What exactly does this mean?
5. Do you tend to focus on the sin that trips you up each day? How could the future promise of 1 John 3:2 have an affect on this focus?
6. Our hope is found, not in looking back at what we have done, but at what Christ has done. When do you most need to remind yourself of this and how?
Being a child of living God changes everything. Let us all pray that we daily walk in the amazing reality of our sonship.
