Week Five: Light vs. Darkness
“What shall we say then? Shall we continue to sin that grace may abound?” Romans 6:1 Often it is thought that God allows us to continue in our sinful ways with little reaction to us except affording us the grace to continue. On the contrary, God is very grieved by our sin and he never expects that we continue to do it! What he expects is that we walk in a newness of life. Not continuing to sin, but turning away from our old ways of sin to walk in a new way. Sure he is a God of grace and that grace allows us the opportunity to repent and be forgiven of our sins, but it never says that we are to remain in this activity expecting God to overlook it and keep giving while we take! This sin is called darkness and God wants us to walk in the light(His word)so we don't stumble and fall. This week we will study about his light and how we can walk in it and not walk in darkness.
Read John 1:1-5 What questions did you have after reading this? ___________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________ Answer the following questions: In the beginning what existed? ________________________________________ Where was the word? ________________________________________________ Who made all things? _______________________________________________ What was the light? _________________________________________________
Jesus is the light of the world, through Him we can escape the struggles that attack us through our flesh. Sim has no power over us when we live and move and have our being in Jesus.
Read John 1:6-14 What questions did you have after reading this? ___________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________ Answer the following questions: What came into the world? ___________________________________________ What power was given to those who believe? ____________________________ What was the word full of? ___________________________________________
This grace that we read here is not a grace that says to us that we can continue to sin because thsi grace was not alone, if it were alone than it might not address our sins the same way. This grace that we read here was partnered with truth. Grace always has to be partnered with truth otherwise we shall continue to take advantage of this grace as though all sin can continue because we have grace. Sin is not expected to continue just because we have received grace. Read John 1:15-18 What questions did you have after reading this? ___________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________ Answer the following questions: Who bore witness to Jesus? ___________________________________________ Who came first John or Jesus? ________________________________________ Has anyone ever seen God?____________________________________________ Read John 8:12-32 What questions did you have after reading this? ___________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________ Jesus is what to the world? If you follow Jesus you will not what? If you continue in his word then you are what? How can we know the truth and be set free?
A Disciple of Christ never lives for themselves, but only for God's truth! Truth would not be recognized without Jesus and for every truth there is a lie because the Father of all lies is determined to deceive as many as he can. He will always stand in the way of truth! The thief… Read John 10:1-10 What questions did you have after reading this? ___________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________ Answer the following questions:
What is the way to heaven? ___________________________________________ Who is the door of the sheep? _________________________________________ What is a person that tries to enter another way? _________________________ What does the thief come to do? _______________________________________ And Jesus what did he come to do?_____________________________________
Grace and truth and life live closely together, without one there cannot be the other. Jesus is life therefore in Him is grace and truth. We will always be able to tell if a thing is from Jesus when grace and truth follow. We can see how the enemy is not the same.
Read Genesis 3:1-6 What questions did you have after reading this? ___________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________ Answer the following questions: what question did the serpent ask the woman? ___________________________ Which tree of the garden was forbidden to eat from and why? ______________ Would they die or would their eyes be opened? ___________________________ Knowing good and evil does it make us as God? __________________________
What does the serpent in John 10:10 ______________________________________ Here we see the battle between darkness and light, the serpent or thief rages against the light. Jesus is the truth. In Jesus we will always have the victory!
