QUESTIONS FOR DISCUSSION

Read Ephesians 2:1-10

  1. From verses 1 to 3, how does Paul describe people before they are in Christ?
  2. Looking back at your life before you knew Jesus, how can you see that that was true of you too?
  3. How has God brought us from death to life? How has he gone above and beyond for us?
  4. What motivates God to save people? See verses 4 and 7. What is God showing off? How does he show it off?
  5. What did we do to benefit from what God has done for us in Christ? How does this make us feel or respond? (See verses 8 to 10)

Prayer

Praise God for his kindness and love for us! Praise God for Christ Jesus reconciling us to God through his death in our place.
