Discussion Questions
-
How did your study on the doctrine of Christ give you a deeper love for the Savior?
-
What a great God we serve , he took on every weakness of mine so I can overcome in him. My head is bowed in perpetuity for who he is and what he’s done.
-
I am still studing now. I want to learn more and grow in deeper love for the Savior. I feel like if I come to him for my hunger i will fall in deeper love.
-
This was great! The Holy Spirit was ministering to me, and I would write down what the Holy Spirit was revealing to me, and it would get confirmed later in the course. I learned about Jesus Christ’s deity and manhood via “New Testament Basics,” so part two was more of a confirmation and deeper understanding of who Jesus was. The entire lecture was more of a confirmation of what I’ve learned in my private time with the Triune God. I am excited to dive deeper into theology. Oh, another thing was that I have been living out the theology of God for the past 6 months and had not made the connection until now. Everything that God has been doing in me is theology. The theology of God has been what has been transforming my inner man.
Also, I would like to say that the doctrine of Christ, as it relates to his death, was transformative and revelational to me. This is what I wrote in my notes as the Holy Spirit was ministering to me.
Jesus’ death is the display of both the justice of God and the mercies of God.
- Justice in that God’s justice was satisfied.
- Mercy in that an innocent man died a guilty criminal’s death so that we did not have to.
- You can have justice and mercy (forgiveness) at the same time.
- Justice, no matter how brutal, can be merciful and forgiving at the same time.
- Justice is love.

My love for the Savior in the study of the doctrine deepened in that now I have a deeper understanding of God who came to earth as a human being to show his love to me when I was yet in my sin and then died an agonizing death just for me even when I did not want part of Jesus.
-
What impressed you about the idea of “adorning the doctrine of God”?
-
Adorning is essentially what we do to make ourselves or something look better than the way it was before. It is our way to stand out. That’s what happens when we “adorn” ourselves in the truth of the Word of God. We become a better version of who we once were.
-
We wear His robe of righteousness, given from him to us who were sinners, but by his gift(s) we are forgiven. The Holy Spirit lives within us keeping us on the right path here on earth (that is to say, if one is a believer), until Christ comes back to take us to our eternal, heavenly home.
-
Why do we adorn the walls of our house with pictures or artwork? Because an empty wall isn’t much to look at.
Similarly, to adorn the doctrine of God is to “wear” it or display it in our lives for others to see. When we cling to the doctrine of God in our lives we (a wall) display God’s goodness (artwork) for all to see.
-
To adorn God is to recognize that God is Lord over all and that he must be first in my life always.
-
God Is my everything. He stated in his word that if he be lifted up he would draw all men unto him. As a child of God I want others you see the light of God within me. Greater is he that is within me than he that is in the world.
