What if trying to be good is making it worse? Discussion Questions:
- In what sense is the Law an “all-or-nothing curse”? Why did God do this?
- How does the Law arouse sinful passions? Have you experienced this? If so, how?
- How is the Law our “tutor”?
- What is the new covenant? Why is it better?
- When did the new covenant really begin?
- How does understanding its true beginning help us understand Jesus’ teachings?
- Is the Old Testament law written on our hearts? If not, then what is?
- React to this thought question: What if Jesus Christ – risen from the dead – were the only reason you behaved?
