    Day 340 – Chosen, Redeemed, and United in Christ — Ephesians 1–3 | Bible In A Year (CSB)

    In the opening half of Ephesians, Paul lifts our eyes to the sweeping scope of God’s plan in Christ. He praises God for choosing, redeeming, and sealing believers through Jesus, emphasizing that salvation is entirely by grace through faith. Paul then reveals the mystery once hidden—that Jews and Gentiles are now united as one body in Christ. These chapters ground the Christian life not in effort, but in identity, reminding us who we are and what God has already done.Questions:1. Paul repeatedly emphasizes that salvation is by grace, not works. Why is it so easy to drift back into earning what God freely gives?2. In Ephesians 2, believers are described as once dead but now made alive in Christ. How does remembering who you were shape your gratitude and humility today?3. Paul celebrates the unity of Jews and Gentiles in one body. What barriers still threaten unity in the church, and how does the gospel address them?Check out Basicallybiblical.comUse my affiliate link to get the CSB apologetics study bible hereMy video review the CSB Apologetics Study BibleAll our links are here

    Day 339 – Living Free in Christ: Faith Expressed In Love — Galatians 4–6 | Bible In A Year (CSB)

    In these closing chapters of Galatians, Paul moves from doctrine to daily life. He reminds believers that they are no longer slaves but sons and daughters of God, adopted through Christ. True freedom, Paul explains, is not permission to sin but the power to live by the Spirit. He contrasts the works of the flesh with the fruit of the Spirit and calls the church to bear one another’s burdens, sow faithfully, and never boast in anything except the cross of Christ.Questions:1. Paul contrasts slavery and sonship. How does living as a child of God change the way you relate to obedience and freedom?2. The fruit of the Spirit describes the character formed by life in Christ. Which fruit do you see growing in your life, and which need more intentional cultivation?3. Paul urges believers to bear one another’s burdens. What are practical ways the church can live this out today?Check out Basicallybiblical.comUse my affiliate link to get the CSB apologetics study bible hereMy video review the CSB Apologetics Study BibleAll our links are here

    Day 338 – Freedom by Faith Alone: No Other Gospel — Galatians 1–3 | Bible In A Year (CSB)

    In these opening chapters of Galatians, Paul confronts a crisis at the heart of the church: the distortion of the gospel. He forcefully reminds the Galatians that salvation comes by grace through faith, not by works of the law. Paul defends his apostolic calling, recounts his confrontation with Peter, and points back to Abraham as proof that God has always justified His people by faith. The law, Paul explains, was never meant to save—it was a temporary guardian leading us to Christ.Questions:1. Paul says that adding anything to the gospel actually distorts it. What modern pressures tempt Christians to add requirements to faith in Christ?2. Abraham is used as the example of righteousness by faith. How does this shape our understanding of salvation across both the Old and New Testaments?3. Paul describes the law as a guardian until Christ came. How should believers today understand the purpose of God’s law in light of freedom in Christ?Check out Basicallybiblical.comUse my affiliate link to get the CSB apologetics study bible hereMy video review the CSB Apologetics Study BibleAll our links are here

    Day 337 – Strength in Weakness: Christ’s Power Unveiled —2 Corinthians 11–13 | Bible In A Year (CSB)

    In these final chapters, Paul defends his apostleship by doing something completely unexpected—boasting in his weakness. He recounts his sufferings, hardships, and even a mysterious “thorn in the flesh,” showing that true spiritual authority is marked by dependence on Christ, not outward success or strength. Paul warns the Corinthians against false apostles and calls them to examine their faith. The letter closes with a reminder that Christ’s power is made perfect in weakness and a final blessing rooted in the grace of the Triune God.Questions:1. Paul boasts in his weaknesses rather than his achievements. How does this redefine what faithfulness and spiritual maturity look like in the Christian life?2. The “thorn in the flesh” remains unnamed, yet central to Paul’s dependence on God. How does unanswered prayer shape humility and trust rather than bitterness?3. Paul urges believers to “examine yourselves to see whether you are in the faith.” What does healthy self-examination look like without falling into either pride or despair?Check out Basicallybiblical.comUse my affiliate link to get the CSB apologetics study bible hereMy video review the CSB Apologetics Study BibleAll our links are here

    Day 336 – Godly Grief & Generous Grace: True Repentance — 2 Corinthians 7–10 | Bible In A Year (CSB)

    In these chapters, Paul opens his heart about the joy he felt when the Corinthian church responded with genuine repentance. He distinguishes between godly grief, which leads to life and restoration, and worldly grief, which brings only regret. Paul then turns to the theme of generosity, holding up the Macedonian churches as an example of joyful, sacrificial giving. He reminds the Corinthians that God loves a cheerful giver and that generosity reflects the grace of Christ, who became poor so that we might become rich in Him.Questions:1. Paul says godly grief produces repentance that leads to salvation without regret. How can you tell the difference between conviction from the Spirit and the kind of guilt that just beats you down?2. The Macedonians gave generously despite their “deep poverty.” What does their example challenge in our assumptions about what it means to be generous?3. Paul teaches that God is able to make every grace overflow so that we can abound in good works. Where have you seen God provide what you needed in order to serve or give?Use my affiliate link to get the CSB apologetics study bible hereMy video review the CSB Apologetics Study BibleAll our links are here

    Day 335 – Treasure in Clay Jars: A New Creation Life — 2 Corinthians 4–6 | Bible In A Year (CSB)

    In these chapters, Paul pulls back the curtain on what it really means to follow Jesus in a broken world. He describes believers as jars of clay—fragile, ordinary vessels carrying the extraordinary treasure of the gospel. Though we face suffering, decay, and spiritual opposition, Paul reminds us that our hope is anchored in eternity. He explains that in Christ we are new creations, reconciled to God, and commissioned as His ambassadors. These pages overflow with encouragement, purpose, and a call to live with eternal perspective.Questions:1. Paul says we are “hard pressed but not crushed, perplexed but not in despair.” What does this tension look like in your own walk with Christ?2. In chapter 5, Paul declares that anyone in Christ is a new creation. What part of your life shows evidence of God’s transforming work?3. Paul describes believers as ambassadors for Christ, carrying the message of reconciliation. Where do you feel called to represent Jesus right now—home, work, friendships?Use my affiliate link to get the CSB apologetics study bible hereMy video review the CSB Apologetics Study BibleAll our links are here

    Day 334 – The God Who Comforts: Strength for The Weary — 2 Corinthians 1–3 | Bible In A Year (CSB)

    In these opening chapters of 2 Corinthians, Paul writes with deep vulnerability. He reflects on suffering, comfort, integrity in ministry, and the unwavering faithfulness of God. Paul explains that all of God’s promises find their “Yes” in Christ, and he points to the Holy Spirit as the seal of our salvation. He then contrasts the old covenant—marked by fading glory—with the new covenant of the Spirit, which brings lasting transformation and freedom.Questions:1. Paul describes God as the “Father of mercies and the God of all comfort.” How have you experienced God’s comfort in a season of hardship?2. Paul emphasizes sincerity and integrity in ministry, not manipulation or self-promotion. What helps you maintain authenticity in your faith and relationships?3. In chapter 3, Paul contrasts the fading glory of the old covenant with the surpassing glory of the new covenant. How does the Spirit bring freedom and transformation in your life today?Use my affiliate link to get the CSB apologetics study bible hereMy video review the CSB Apologetics Study BibleAll our links are here

    Day 333 – The Resurrection & the Way of Christ — 1 Corinthians 13–16 | Bible In A Year (CSB)

    These chapters bring Paul’s letter to a powerful climax. He defines love not as sentiment but as self-giving action—the essential mark of Christian maturity. Then Paul anchors the entire faith in the historical, bodily resurrection of Jesus. Without the resurrection, our faith collapses; with it, our hope is unshakable. Paul closes with practical instructions for giving, standing firm in the faith, and living a life shaped by the victory of Christ.Questions:1. Paul describes love as the indispensable virtue of the Christian life. Which aspect of his definition challenges you the most, and why?2. In chapter 15, Paul argues that the resurrection is the foundation of the gospel. How does the resurrection give meaning to your daily life and long-term hope?3. Paul ends by urging believers to be “steadfast, immovable, always excelling in the Lord’s work.” What does it look like for you to live with that kind of steadiness and purpose?Use my affiliate link to get the CSB apologetics study bible hereMy video review the CSB Apologetics Study BibleAll our links are here
