Why or why not? How would Christianity be different if God operated by a list of demands rather than grace? Is there such a thing as a truly selfless act? Why or why not? How would your Christian life be different if you did not know you have eternal life? Does it increase your desire to share the gospel knowing there are many who claim the name of Christ who live this way? What is the difference between a one-way and two-way view of the New Covenant? Do you ever feel like you have to “do” certain things or make certain promises in order to gain God’s favor? How do we balance the fine line between having personal convictions of morality and projecting or demanding that conviction of other believers? Do you feel any pressures to conform outwardly in order to be accepted by other Christians? Did the analogy of the hen gathering her chickens speak to you? Have you ever experienced this? Do you have any questions about the relationship between Israel and the Second Coming of Jesus?

Can you put these events in the right order: obedience, faith, grace, forgiveness?
