Walking in the Light
Main idea:
We love because Jesus first loved us
1 John 4.7-12
REFLECTION QUESTIONS
1) Have you ever thought about the fact that without Jesus we are actually captive to sin?
2) Do you think of yourself as someone who has overcome the world of sin because of Jesus? Do you see your life in terms of having a new life?
3) How is it going for you in growing in obedience? What ways can our family help you with that? Are there any lies you might be believing about yourself?
QUESTIONS FOR PARENTS TO DISCUSS WITH THEIR FAMILY
1) As a family, talk about what John means when he says the our faith is what allows us to “overcome the world.” How is that possible? What is our faith in? Our ability to do good or the work God has done? Is faith a passive things or do we show faith by loving God which, as John says, is obeying Him?
2) How are you, parents growing in seeing God’s commands as not burdensome?
