2. What is the significance that the awesome glory of God dwells in every Christian? How is this truth “The Key” when it comes to truly living for God? How does this truth impact you?
3. How does this truth change your perspective of God? Yourself? Others? Reality?
4. Read and discuss Galatians 2:20-3:3. What is this saying and how will you apply it to your life?
5. How can we grow in living with a greater awareness of God’s presence in us?
6. What incentive should this truth (God in us) give to someone considering becoming a Christian?
Relational Discipleship Question: What healing needs to take place in God’s loving arms? How is God using your pain and circumstances to draw you to Him and to reach out to others? Are you living in peace with all others in your family, at work and socially? Share your spiritual growth plan (s) in this area.
Or if you did that question last week discuss this Relational Discipleship Question: Share how you are serving at home. Husbands/Fathers: How have you led your family this week as “pastor” of your family? Wives/Mothers: How have you helped lead and build your family this week? Singles: How have you been positively relating to your family? Share your spiritual growth plan (s) in this area.
