Unit 5: God Speaks
God invites us to join Him in His work … He doesn’t compel us to do His will.
  • Why?
  • What advantages are there in both methods of “guidance”?
  • What do we learn about this from Psalm 32:8,9 (context?)

Does God’s invitation include Justification as well as Sanctification?
1 Timothy 2:4
1 Corinthians 12:3
Romans 10:17
Ephesians 1:13

What role does the Holy Spirit play? The Word??

Now, as God’s children, Jesus promised He would not leave us in the dark, but give us guidance …
John 14:15-18
John 8:42-47

But what about specific “guidance” in specific situations … are the Scriptures just a fixed record of objective truth? What does the Spirit do?
Hebrews 4:12
Ephesians 6:17, 18

Why would we want to avoid “Bible Roulette?”
