2 Corinthians 5:16-21
16 Wherefore henceforth know we no man after the flesh: yea, though we have known Christ after the flesh, yet now henceforth know we [him] no more.
17 Therefore if any man [be] in Christ, [he is] a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.
18 And all things [are] of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation;
19 To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation.
20 Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech [you] by us: we pray [you] in Christ's stead, be ye reconciled to God.
21 For he hath made him [to be] sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.
OBSERVATION QUESTIONS
1) Who was the Apostle Paul referring to when he suggested that we no longer rely upon our our human reasoning or perspective to know them? (v.16)
2) Why is it important to disregard an individual's previous conduct in light of who they are in Christ? (v.17)
3) What has God given to every believer? (v.18)
4) What did God do for us, because of Christ's sacrifice, so that we could be reconciled to Him? (v.19)
5) What is God's appeal to others, through His people? (v.20)
6) How are we made the righteousness of God? (v.21)
APPLICATION QUESTIONS

8) What do you do to serve the Lord as His ambassador?
9) What put you in right standing (relationship) with God?
PRINCIPLES
10) When God reconciles us to Himself, He forgives all our sins.
11) Those who belong to Jesus are "new creations" in Christ.
12) We are made righteous by the blood of the sinless Lamb of God, not our good deeds.

Waiting for the Lord's Mercy
Saturday, August 16, 2014
Jude 1:17-25
17 But, beloved, remember ye the words which were spoken before of the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ;
18 How that they told you there should be mockers in the last time, who should walk after their own ungodly lusts.
19 These be they who separate themselves, sensual, having not the Spirit.
20 But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost,
21 Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life. 22 And of some have compassion, making a difference:
23 And others save with fear, pulling [them] out of the fire; hating even the garment spotted by the flesh.
24 Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present [you] faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy,
25 To the only wise God our Saviour, [be] glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever. Amen.
OBSERVATION QUESTIONS
1) Who are we warned about during the last time? (v.18a)
2) What will these people be like? (v.18b,19)
3) What are Christian to do during these last days? (v.20-21)
4) How are we to help those who have fallen in their faith? (v.22-23)
5) Are we supposed to help every backslidden believer? Why, or why not? (v.23)
6) Who keeps us from falling into sin? (v.24a)
7) How will He present us before the Father? (v.24b)
APPLICATION QUESTIONS
8) Do you live according to your fleshly (or carnal) nature, or are you led by the Spirit?
9) Have you ever succumbed to the lusts of your flesh? If so, what happened?
10) What do you do when you are tempted to act according to the desires of your flesh?
PRINCIPLES
11) Those who live according to their fleshly desires, cannot please God!
12) Only the spiritually mature are able to help those who are given over to carnality.
13) God is able to keep us from falling from the faith, but only if we want to be kept in the faith.
