Verse 25 – “If we live by the Spirit, let us also walk by the Spirit.”
Galatians 516; 25
Small Group Questions
1. Discuss the concept of hearing God’s word in the sense it is used in John 5:24. How should that affect the way we read God’s word each day?
2. How does the fact that we “have” eternal life affect our daily lives? How does our new life in Christ help us see the temporal world with an eternal lens?
3. Consider the fact that believers will never undergo judgment for sin. How does that encourage you in your walk with the Lord and the pursuit of sanctification?
4. The verse finishes by explaining that we have passed out of death into life. How has your life changed since the Lord saved you? Give thanks to God together for all He has done in your lives.
Core Questions
• What is God teaching you about Himself from His Word, and how is your life different/changing as a result?
• How have you seen God answering prayer? What are you praying for?
• How is God using you in the process of evangelism to draw people up Himself?
• What sins has God revealed to you so that you might repent of them? In light of grace realities, what must that repentance look like?
