    3.12 What is Glorification?

    1. In previous podcasts we’ve discussed the Golden Chain of Salvation. Can you name the doctrines in order? (Hint: P… F… R… J… A… S… G…). Why is the order vitally important for our Christian lives? 2. What is Glorification? How is it different from Justification and Sanctification? 3. What does the Bible say about Glorification? (read and discuss Rom 8:29-21; 2 Cor 3:18; 1 John 3:2) 4. What else was helpful to you in this podcast?

    3.11 What is Sanctification?

    1. What is the doctrine of Sanctification? (WSC #35) 2. Why does the order of Justification and Sanctification matter? What changes if we think Sanctification comes before Justification? (read and discuss Eph 2:8-10) 3. As you look back on your life, how have you seen the Lord at work in your sanctification? What/Who has God used to further your sanctification? 4. What else was helpful to you in this podcast?

    3.10 Adopted By God

    1. What do you think of J.I. Packer’s statement that “Adoption is the highest privilege of the gospel. The traitor is forgiven, brought in for supper, and given the family name. To be right with God the Judge is a great thing, but to be loved and cared for by God the Father is greater”? 2. What is the doctrine of Adoption and why is it so important for our daily lives? (WSC #34) 3. How would you respond to someone who believes that all of humanity are the children of God? (read and discuss Eph 2:1-12) 4. What does the Bible say about the privilege of adoption? (read and discuss John 1:12-13; Rom 8:14-17; 1 John 3:1) 5. What else was helpful to you in this podcast?

    3.9 What is Repentance?

    1. Why is the need for repentance a difficult concept in our culture? 2. Jesus was not shy about speaking of the need for repentance. Read Matthew 4:12-17, Mark 1:15 & Luke 13:1-5. Why are we often shy about calling people to repentance? 3. WSC #87 gives a great summary of the Bible’s teaching on repentance - “repentance unto life is a saving grace, whereby a sinner, out of a true sense of his sin, and apprehension of the mercy of God in Christ, doth, with grief and hatred of his sin, turn from it unto God, with full purpose of, and endeavor after, new obedience.” What are the important aspects of the doctrine of repentance? 4. Why is repentance towards God (and others) often, maybe even always, difficult in our own lives? But why is it important? 5. In this podcast we made the point that when God saves a person (justification), other parts of the “golden chain of salvation” (Rom 8:28-30) follow, including a heart of repentance and the desire to do good works. Read James 2:14-26 and discuss the implications for Christians.

    3.8 What is Faith?

    1. What are common answers to “what is faith” (whether from this podcast or statements that you’ve heard)? 2. How does the Bible define faith? Read and discuss Hebrews 11:1, 6; Eph 2:8-9. 3. Westminster Shorter Catechism #86 gives a great summary of the Bible’s teaching on Faith - “Faith in Jesus Christ is a saving grace, whereby we receive and rest upon him alone for salvation, as he is offered to us in the gospel.” Heidelberg Catechism #21 also provides a great summary - “True faith is a sure knowledge where I accept as true all that God has revealed to us in his Word. At the same time it is a firm confidence that not only to others, but also to me, God has granted forgiveness of sins, everlasting righteousness, and salvation, out of mere grace, only for the sake of Christ’s merits. This faith the Holy Spirit works in my heart by the gospel.” What are the important aspects in these summaries of the Bible’s teaching on faith? 4. How does the Bible’s definition of faith differ from the common cultural understanding of faith? 5. The podcast discussed the importance of the three parts of faith: knowledge (how God has revealed himself in Scripture), belief (not just knowing facts, but believing them), and trust (resting and dependence on truth). In your own life, how do you see this play out in your own faith in God (whether positively or negatively)?

    3.7 Justification

    1. What are common answers to the questions “How can a sinful human be right with a holy and righteous God?” and “If you were to die tonight and meet God, why should he give you eternal life in heaven?” 2. The podcast discussed various views of salvation including Pelagianism, a cosmic scale of justice, Roman Catholic, and Arminian. What’s a common thread in all of these views? 3. We believe the Bible answers the question of how a sinful human can be right with a holy God with the doctrine of Justification. Read and discuss Rom 3:21-26, Rom 4:4-8, 5:9, 8:31-33, Gal 2:15, 1 Cor 1:30, 2 Cor 5:21. 4. Westminster Shorter Catechism #33 gives a great summary of the Bible’s teaching on Justification - “Justification is an act of God’s free grace, wherein he pardons all of our sin, and accepts us as righteous in his sight only for the righteousness of Christ imputed to us, and received by faith alone.” What are the important aspects of this doctrine? 5. Why is this doctrine so important!?

    3.6 Frequently Asked Questions About Predestination

    1. The podcast defined predestination as “the biblical teaching that God sovereignly chooses, before the foundation of the world, who he will save through his Son Jesus and because of that who will receive eternal life”. This raises questions about free will. Do we have free will if God chooses who will be saved? 2. How did this podcast explain our free will? 3. Do you have trouble embracing predestination? If so, why? 4. Sometimes we talk about predestination as a “secondary issue.” Read Ephesians 1.3-11 again. Do you believe Paul would have considered predestination a “secondary issue?” 5. Rather than treating predestination with skepticism, Paul treats it as something to be praised. Read Ephesians 1.11-14. Why do you think Paul is so filled with praise when talking about predestination?

    3.5 Do We Believe In Predestination?

    1. Why is this a controversial doctrine? 2. This podcast discussed the two views of the nature of humans - basically good (Pelagianism) or sinful and fallen. What are some of the differences between these two views? 3. Discuss how does the Bible speaks of predestination in Rom 8:28-30, Eph 1:3-11, John 15:13-19? Was it helpful to also consider predestination in the OT passages of Gen 18:18-19 and Deuteronomy 7:6-8? 4. Why is grace such an important part of the conversation when it comes to predestination? 5. Why should the doctrine of predestination be comforting to God’s people?
