Walking In Newness Of Life

Week One

Understanding God's Authority

Day Two

[Remember to always begin your Bible study with prayer.]

1. To properly study the word we must be convinced of the accuracy of the words we are reading. Read Matthew 24:35. What does Jesus say about this?

2. Now turn and read John 16:12-13. Notice that Jesus did not tell the apostles everything while He was with them. They would be guided into all truth at a later time. From this passage, would you say that the words of the apostles that are recorded in the rest of the New Testament are just as important as the words of Jesus that are recorded in the gospels?

3. Read Ephesians 3:3-5. Notice that Paul is telling us how he and the other apostles received God's revelation. What did the Eplhesians brethren have to do in order to understand the revelation Paul received? What does verse four mean to you?

4. Many religious people attempt to follow God on the basis of what they "feel" or what they "think" is right. Turn and read Proverbs 14:12 and Jeremiah 10:23. What do these passages tell you about a man's own "feelings" and "think so's" ?

5. 2 Corinthians 5:7 says "We walk by faith, not by sight". Do you remember from our previous lesson how we get faith? It is important that we do not trust in ourselves and our own ideas as we serve God. We must trust God and His word if we will attain heaven.

** Read Psalm 119:18, now would be a good time to pray that God will help you understand His word.
