BSF Study Questions Revelation: The Hope Lesson 21, Day 5: Romans 5:6-11; 6:23; Ephesians 2:1-10

by atozmom, posted in BSF Revelation: The Hope 2024/2025

Summary of Romans 5:6-11; 6:23

Romans 5:6-11: Christ died for us sinners. We are now justified by Christ’s blood, reconciled to God, and saved from God’s wrath.

Romans 6:23: “For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.”

Summary of Ephesians 2:1-10

We were dead in our transgressions and sin, deserving of God’s wrath. In God’s love, grace, and mercy, He made us alive in Christ. By grace through faith in Jesus as a gift from God, we are made alive. God has prepared in advance the good works we are to do.

BSF Study Questions Revelation: The Hope Lesson 21, Day 5: Romans 5:6-11; 6:23; Ephesians 2:1-10

10a) Grace, mercy, and salvation leading to eternal life through the sacrifice of His Son, Jesus, on the cross, if we believe. I have responded with faith that God has given me in Jesus Christ’s salvation and given my life to Him.

b) God sent Jesus to pay the penalty (justice) for our sins. This was the ultimate show of mercy on God’s part so that we can be reconciled to Him forever. All we have to do is believe in Christ’s sacrifice for us.

11) The right response to God’s mercy is utter humility, to offer ourselves to God’s will for our lives as a living sacrifice, and confess our sins and our need for a Savior. We are to walk in God’s ways. I try to show mercy to everyone who slightly angers me and walk in the light, reflecting God’s character as I interact with others.

Conclusions BSF Study Questions Revelation: The Hope Lesson 21, Day 5: Romans 5:6-11; 6:23; Ephesians 2:1-10

Every gift is from God. If we just did our best to remember this at all times, we’d be closer to Him every day.

End Notes BSF Study Questions Revelation: The Hope Lesson 21, Day 5: Romans 5:6-11; 6:23; Ephesians 2:1-10

God’s love is so great for us that He made the ultimate sacrifice of His Son. This saves us from His just wrath against us.

We are alive in Christ through undeserved grace and mercy. Salvation is a gift from God that we should not boast in. We are God’s workmanship, His creation, with good works to do.

We were dead; now we are alive! All because of Christ and God’s plan for us!

BSF Study Questions Revelation: The Hope Lesson 21, Day 4: Exodus 32; 33:12-14; 34:4-7

by atozmom, posted in BSF Revelation: The Hope 2024/2025

Summary of Exodus 32; 33:12-14; 34:4-7

Exodus 32: When Moses did not return from the top of Mount Sinai, Aaron told the people to make a golden calf. God saw this and wanted to destroy the people and make Moses into a great nation. Moses pleaded for the people and God relented.

When Moses returned, he threw the 10 Commandments and they broke. He then destroyed the idols the people had made. He saved the faithful and murdered the rest. The people were punished with a plague from God.

Exodus 33:12-14: Moses pleads with God to teach him His ways. God promises his presence will be with him.

Exodus 34:4-7: Moses took 2 stone tablets and went up to Mount Sinai. The Lord came down in a cloud and passed before Moses. He declared He was full of love but punished the guilty.

BSF Study Questions Revelation: The Hope Lesson 21, Day 4: Exodus 32; 33:12-14; 34:4-7

8a) He brought upon just punishments for their sins, but when Moses pleaded for the people, he listened. He spared the people and lessened his punishment.

b) God relented when Moses pleaded for the people, reminding God that he had made a covenant promise with Isaac, Jacob, and Abraham to make the people great. He also argued that God’s enemies would say He had evil intent to rescue his people only to kill them. Moses interceded for the people like Jesus. He took the penalty for their sins per se with his arguments.

c) Yes. Those who still refused to turn back to God were killed. Others were struck with the plague. God cannot ignore sin without just punishment. He does not leave the guilty unpunished. “He punishes the children and their children for the sin of the parents to the third and fourth generation.”

9) God’s judgment is just and appropriate. His mercy is unbounded. Often, it just takes asking, and He will relent. Such an amazing God!

Conclusions BSF Study Questions Revelation: The Hope Lesson 21, Day 4: Exodus 32; 33:12-14; 34:4-7

Such a great lesson! It’s great to be reminded that we all deserve the ultimate punishment but God in His mercy relents out of his undying love for us. So great!

End Notes BSF Study Questions Revelation: The Hope Lesson 21, Day 4: Exodus 32; 33:12-14; 34:4-7

Aaron, a leader, went along with the people’s will rather than confronting them and putting a stop to it. We must be careful of going along with the crowd, especially when it comes to sinful acts.

Moses interceded for the people and appealed to God’s character, using mercy, grace, goodness, and God’s glory. Moses grew too, showing his heart for the people. And, he prayed as if life depended on it, showing us how to pray, too.

The people still faced consequences for their sins. Those who refused to turn back to God were destroyed. Moses interceded again for those remaining, appealing to God’s mercy and grace. God, once again, relented.

God pleads for God’s presence to go with them to the Promised Land in Exodus 33:12-14.

God proclaims His character in Exodus 34:4-7, that He is merciful and full of grace but also just when it comes to punishment.

We all need to remember there are consequences for our sins, so the closer we are to God, the lesser our sins become (ideally) as we choose God over Satan more and more. But, when we sin, God forgives us in His mercy! So great!

BSF Study Questions Revelation: The Hope Lesson 21, Day 3: Romans 1:18-32; 3:10-20

by atozmom, posted in BSF Revelation: The Hope 2024/2025

Summary of Romans 1:18-32

God is angry at the sins of mankind. He made it plain through Creation that He exists, yet many turn from Him. So, God gave them over to their sinful desires, lust, and depraved mind.  They have no understanding of God and His ways.

Summary of Romans 3:10-20

All of humanity has turned from God, and they do not fear Him. The law shows us our sins, and God forgives our sins and allows us to be righteous through the blood of Jesus.

BSF Study Questions Revelation: The Hope Lesson 21, Day 3: Romans 1:18-32; 3:10-20

5) Evil, sinful, prideful, full of lust, depraved, greedy, envious, murderous, strife, deceit, malice, and more. I see this a lot in my own life when I have to push down my own sinful and selfish desires and choose God instead.

6) We deserve God’s wrath and death because we turn from God willfully, ignore His forgiveness, and choose evil over Him.

7) No one really wants to admit that they are evil at heart and only want to make themselves happy even at the expense of others. It’s hard to say, “I’m evil.” No one wants to face consequences for this, either. Everyone wants to be in control with no one telling them what to do.

Conclusions BSF Study Questions Revelation: The Hope Lesson 21, Day 3: Romans 1:18-32; 3:10-20

These passages are hard to digest because humanity’s tendency is to reject God. Thank Him every day for his mercy to bring our evil hearts to Him!

End Notes BSF Study Questions Revelation: The Hope Lesson 21, Day 3: Romans 1:18-32; 3:10-20

Without God and His mercy, this world would be utter chaos with no law and order.

God gives us something to live for and gives us hope that we can overcome our innate evil desires and do good in this world.

BSF Study Questions Revelation: The Hope Lesson 21, Day 2

BSF Study Questions Revelation: The Hope Lesson 21, Day 2

3a)

Justice: Justice to me is enacting proper consequences for wrongdoing.

Mercy: Mercy is giving undeserved grace to others.

b) Positive aspects of justice and mercy: Justice can bring peace and allow for forgiveness. Mercy can help give others a second chance even if they don’t deserve it.

Negative aspects of justice and mercy: Improper justice can bring pain to others. Showing too much mercy can leave the door open for more pain.

c) Exodus 34:6-7: God punishes the guilty. Yet, He forgives the wicked, the rebellious, and those who sin.

John 3:16-18: God sent His Son to save the world from their sin, showing the ultimate mercy.

2 Peter 3:9: God gives everyone a chance to come to Him, showing mercy.

4a) I’ve received justice by paying the consequences for my sins.

b) I’ve definitely received mercy from God for allowing me to believe in Jesus and have everlasting life. I’ve received mercy from others whom I’ve hurt and they have forgiven me.

Conclusions BSF Study Questions Revelation: The Hope Lesson 21, Day 2

I liked this lesson, but it was hard to quantify justice and mercy. They are both such big ideas, and God offers both to us on a daily basis that it’s hard to truly grasp the entire meaning of both words.

End Notes BSF Study Questions Revelation: The Hope Lesson 21, Day 2

Justice is the treatment of people with fairness and dignity and living righteously with God.

Mercy is compassion or leniency shown to another person, especially someone who has offended you. Mercy is a fruit of the Spirit (Galatians 5:22-23). The ultimate show of mercy was God’s sacrifice of His Son, Jesus, on the cross for us.
