Main Text: Ephesians 2:8-10
Memory Verse: Ephesians 2:10 Click here to download 2012 Theme Song
When one, through the work of the Holy Spirit, receives the new birth after accepting Jesus into his life, he begins to bear the fruit of the Spirit. This shows in his behavior and conduct. It therefore makes the Christian lead an upright life. After the believers had experienced the baptism of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost, they were identified by their right living.
· They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teachings. (Acts 2:42)
· They were together and had everything in common (Acts 2:44).
· People shared whatever they had with one another. (Acts 4:32)
· In Jerusalem
· In Antioch
· Their practical living at home, work places, the streets and elsewhere might have communicated this name to the people.
· The individual becomes strong and as a result the church becomes strong in the Lord,
· The Church sends people on missions to other culture.
· The Church provides financial help to other Christians and society. (Acts 11:27-30).
Points for Discussion
1. How do people see us as children of God?
2. Why were the disciples called Christians?
3. What are the benefits of right living to your Church?
Good work. And what do you intend to do? To post a lesson a week? Anyway it serves as a good start for the new year and at the same time a smooth transition from "Being led by the Spirit of God" to "Discipled to Disciple others"
ReplyDeleteMay God bless you for this innovation of posting the weekly Bible study online. It will be helpful anytime anywhere for us to be good disciples who will rightly divide the Word of Truth even as we share with others on the net.
