According to verse 4,for what purpose did jesus give himself? How does jesus rescue people today? How does he keep people from falling back into old ways? Jesus gave himself as a ransom for all of us or as a rescue mission to save us from making mistakes and caring more about the law then the gospel. Jesus keeps rescuing us by the word of grace and of salvation. He keeps people on track by motivating and encouraging us to stay true to his word.

Why do people blame moses for advancing the egyptian army? What motivates their fears? Who are they really blaming? How does moses respond to the blame and fear? Why doesnt moses defend himself? How do the people respond? They felt moses placed a trap to get killed by the egyptians,they felt it was better to serve egyptians then be where they was. Their fears was motivated by panic and not having enough faithin god and in moses leadership. Moses doesnt give in but motivates them to stand firm,stop whining and not be afarid god was to be by their side

Why was obiedence so important to the people deliverance? Why is obidence so important from sin,the flesh,etc? Is there any discipleship without obiedence? It was important because moses and aaron obeyed god then the people obeyed what their leaders had said, to obey god and act on it shows obiedence. Soon the blessings was to follow leaders must follow the voice of god, when people recognize it blessings come but if there is bickering only disaster was to come.

In what sense is christ our passover lamb? In what sense are we marked with his blood? In what sense does god judgement pass over us? Christ is our passover lamb who had been sacrificed for us on the cross at calvary, he was the lamb who was to take away the sins of the world. With peter we are redeemed with the precious blood of the lamb, withput blemish and defect. We are participants of christ blood through passover our names are written in the book of life we are not condemned for our sins

Why did moses blame god for his troubles> He was very reluctant and when pharaoh would not let the people of God go then moses took most of the blame,he in turn blamed god for putting him in such a position. He was so afarid and didnt want to continue but God then took control and reminded him to see the same visions that he does for the israelites. Why do you think moses and aaron was so stubborn,was it fear or what> They was so stubborn cause they didnt have the patience necessary to see far into the future didnt have the same visions that god wass going to show him. Moses also knew that he had a speech impedient so he was constantly making excuses which god wasnt going to tolerate it.

Why god was angry with moses,was because he refused to accept the calling,he was afarid that people would kill him and his disobiedence in not wanting to speak to the pharaoh about letting the israelites go cause he was not eloquent enough. I believe that god can get angry at us for not listening to him when he tells or sends us to do his will. He appeased god anger by saying aaron could come with him to speak to the pharaoh.

Moses had demostrated lack of faith when god had called him to liberate the israelites,he questioned god judgement to send a lowly person who had done wrong so many yrs earlier. God had reassured moses that he would be with him no matter how impossible it seemed,god knew that moses could do this through faith in god. God reassues us when we seek him and pray deeply that his will be done in our lives.

His motivation was to protect the life of his brethen from the egyptian,his people was being abysed while he lived a life if luxury. His character shiws compassion and mercy but a quickness to react to what mistreatment was being carried out,he felt this was the only way. As a leader he didnt use the wisdom and right actions,then the next day it was too late he got caught and the pharaoh sought to kill him cause he committed a capital crime punishable by death. The positive was compassion,mercy and a sense of love but the negative he wasnt in control and didnt think before acting.

What is the result when a Christian walks in darkness,that is, continues willfully to do what he or she knows to be wrong? How does this involve self-deception? What is the result,according to verse 7,when we walk in the light? How do we get back into the light if we sin? The apostle John does say clearly in the letter that we cannot say that we are Christians but then we do whatever we want cause then we are lying. Like for an example a married man cannot be with his wife and be having an affair cause then He is not living in the light he is lying to himself God and others as well. Self deception is evident because then if we doing whatever we want and we say we love God and are in the light then we are lying to ourselves. We have to be honest and open to the sin we did and learn from it also having a hatred for it if we want to get back into the light adn God's grace.

why is fellowship with fellow christians so often just on surface level?How can we have fellowship at a deeper level in Christ? What would it take in your christian group or your relationships with other believers to deepen your level of fellowship so it is authentically Christian? it is often on surface level cause having fellowship with Christians is us having things in common with Christ cause if we truly walk in light then we should be able to be true brothers and sisters in the Lord. We can have fellowship with each other by walking in truth and love together in love for Christ. I mean if we truly have God and the Jesus then that is very important to do and pray,seeking God together is how it can go deeper. it is about genuine and honest fellowship with Christ and in Christ.

In the context of the salvation of all, why do you think Paul emphasizes the roles of Mediator and Ransom? In what way did Christ fullfill both of these roles? The role of the Mediator is a mediator between two parties to remove a disagreement or to be able to reach a common goal, Jesus was the Mediator for us before the Father and the common goal was to preach salvation to all the people and spread the evangelism. In the ransom was when Jesus died on the cross at calvary to save humanity by providing the way to the Father. Jesus fullfilled both of these roles when he was crucified on the cross and went to the Father in heaven so that He can save us.

Why does Paul emphasize salvation for all mankind in this letter? What does this suggest about the practice of evangelism in the Ephesus church? Cause the false teachers and false prophets had lost track of the gentiles and God wants all to be saved including the Gentiles. Israel was God nation but his salvation became possible because Jesus had died on the cross for us. The church in Ephesus had forgotten that the Great Commission was to preach the gospel and salvation to the whole world.

What do we learn about God from this doxology? What do we learn about praise? Have you ever tried speaking out a doxology in your personal prayer or praise time? What effect does a doxology have on the speaker? That we are to give him honor which is the best that we can give him and reverence. A doxology is a glory word or a time to praise him cause He is the King of Kings and most of all eternal. we should always in our prayer time give him the doxologies of our hearts and especially when we are reading the Word of God. The doxology is effecting the speaker cause He realizes that at one time he had none of what God has given to him right now in his life so he takes the time to give him all the honor and reverence because He is the eternal and only God.

Why does Paul comment on his own life after a paragraph on the Law? Why does he share this with Timothy and the church that will read the letter? How might this help get the church back on center? He wanted the church to know and also Timothy that He appreciates the Lord cause he gave him the strength to be faithful to the gospel of Jesus Christ and to His service. He admits that he done wrong in the past and was a great persecutor who now knows about mercy and how to show it to others. He was ignorant and filled with unbelief but since the grace of the Lord was poured on Him he has now love and faith towards Jesus Christ. HE declares that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners and that he was the worst of them all so they need to keep in mind that it doesnt matter how bad we are that Christ can be able to show mercy to them,and showed unlimted patience while they get to reaquaint themselves in Christ Jesus. It helps the church to get back into focus that it is not about the twisted version of the gospel or false teaching but it is about love,faith,mercy,and unlimted patience in Christ Jesus and The Word of the Lord.

What were some of the results of false doctrine in the church at Ephesus? How does doctrinal controversy hurt the spirit of a church? How does it prevent growth? How does it keep the church from it's mission? It was leadership crisis among the elders some of them was false teachers, the desire for wealth or greed, a divise asceticism from the Judiazers and the destruction of faith for people in Ephesus, confusion and controversy of the people in church from coming together in unity. It causes problems and arguements among people at church, it is called useless speculations cause instead of focusing on God and the Word of God and spreading joy and unity, these people will go out of their way to make others look bad. It prevents growth spirtually for the simple fact that it is a hindrance and doesnt edify the person that is involved and involving other peoples as well. IT keeps the church from it mission cause it produces distorted and immature christians instead of maturity and the growth within the church and others as well.
