The cost of reconciliation

THE COST OF RECONCILIATION

(COLOSSIANS 1:21-23)

Though we were once aliens, Jesus has reconciled us to God in order to present us blameless, provided we continue in the faith.

  • What Jesus Has Done (v. 21)

  • What the Lord Will Do (v. 22)

  • How We Should Respond (v. 23)


Discussion Starters

Monday—What does it mean to ‘continue’ in the faith? What temptations seek to draw us away from the faith?

Tuesday—What does it mean to be hostile in mind? Hostile towards whom?

Wednesday—Why did Jesus need to die in order to reconcile us to God? Why a physical bodily death?

Thursday—What does the Lord promise to do for us in the future? How does that comfort us?

Friday—How are we called to respond in this life to the Gospel? How can you practice that response?
