Discussion Questions
-
How did your study on the doctrine of Christ give you a deeper love for the Savior?
-
For me this opens the doorway to deeper understanding of what Jesus has done for me. This discourse also challenges me to examine the life I am leading for Jesus.
-
I was able to see that Jesus gave all there was for our redemption which God the Father had planned for all our sins.
-
Through the study of the doctrine of Christ, I know that Jesus Christ is God, but he is willing to come down to earth to identify with us, taking on the body of flesh and blood, enduring all the limitation of a human life. This acts show his great love for us. He came to save us from our sin and to give us eternal life and be a model for us to follow in his way. HE came to reveal God the Father to us.
All these makes me grateful to Jesus Christ and to love him more. Being human, he is able to understand my struggles, and as God, he is able to help me overcome my weaknesses and to submit to God’s will. -
As I reflect on how Jesus Christ, though fully God, should stoop so low to die a condemned criminal’s death on a cross, solely out of love for me, I’m touched and know I can never repay this love. The words of an old hymn come to my mind in worship:
And can it be that I should gain
An interest in the Savior’s blood
Died He for me, who caused His pain
For me, who Him to death pursued?
Amazing love! How can it be
That Thou, my God, should die for me?
Amazing love! How can it be
That Thou, my God, should die for me?
He left His Father’s throne above
So free, so infinite His grace
Emptied Himself of all but love
And bled for Adam’s helpless race
Tic mercy all, immense and free
For O my God, it found out me!
Amazing love! How can it be,
That Thou, my God, should die for me? -
It’s so easy to forget that Christ is constantly working on our behalf. This was a great reminder.
-
What impressed you about the idea of “adorning the doctrine of God”?
-
What impressed me about the idea of “adorning the doctrine of God” “What a good God He is”. His doctrines has increased my beliefs and reminded me of His amazing attributes, that we need to always remember. Which is helping me to continue trusting him and focusing on his promises.
-
This reminds us that we must put our lives in order and to live the way Christ wants us to live. We are to allow Christ to be seen through us in everything that we do.
-
As the Scripture tell us, that we are to do all things as unto the Lord, and this is a beautiful reminder of how it is we all should be living. As children of the Living God, and not as this world. We are to be the ones standing up for those who are being mistreated, laughed at, mocked, we are to be literally a Living Bible, we are the Bible that most people will ever read, and I pray that they are reading the Holy Scriptures as they look at us and make there little jokes, and I pray that they are not reading the comics as they watch our lives. We are to be living every moment to bring glory and honor to our Lord and Savior, I always say, that people may be mean, foul mouthed, dirty jokes, but are we still being an example of what we all have been called to be, or are we laughing at the dirty jokes, are we joining in on belittling someone, are we the ones mistreating a person. we need to remember that as long as a person has the breath of life in them, we are to pray for that person, we are to be a living example to that person, it does not excuse their behavior, but its a simple reminder that they are a soul in need of a Savior.
-
It is a different take on an idea that is often thought of as stiff and librarian – it makes the idea of doctrine more accessible and useful.
-
The thing that impressed me about the idea of adorning the doctrine of God is that it is not only taught and believed. The doctrine of God must be practiced and this is sometimes lacking in Christians.
