14 Seeing then that we have a great High Priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession. 15 For we do not have a High Priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but was in all points tempted as we are, yet without sin. 16 Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need.
Heb 4:14-16
Q & A：
- How is Christianity different from other religions? Explain how you (or the old man) used to live before coming to Christ and why are the worldly values or pursuit of success, significance or lustful things considered deceitful? (Eph 4:22; 1 John 2:15-16)
- What does it mean for you to be born-again and when do you consider yourself to be saved and become a new creation in Christ? Have you been clinging onto the past mistakes or feeling condemned constantly? Discuss what it means for our sins to be washed away by Jesus’ blood and who is really benefiting from accusing or condemning you? (Eph 4:23-24; 2 Cor 5:17; John 3:3;Col 1:14; Heb 8:12)
- What is the kingdom of God like in your mind and how should you live knowing that you are a child of God? Explain what it means to be set free from being a slave of sin to a slave of righteousness, knowing that the law of sin and death applies to everyone just like to law of gravity. (John 3:5; Luke 17:21; Rom 6:17-18; Rom 8:2)
