Day four of each week has extra Bible study questions that are not in the Bible Study Guide. These are for on-line Bible study participants who want to dig a little deeper.
1. Let’s look at one particular man that didn’t want to obey God, but then changed his mind. Read 2 Kings 5:1-16.
What was Naaman’s problem?
What did the prophet Elisha instruct him to do?
What was Naaman’s response to Elisha’s instruction?
What was Naaman’s servant’s response to Naaman’s stubbornness?
What happened when Naaman humbled himself and obeyed God?
Who was glorified in the end?
Is there something that God has called you to do that you’ve been avoiding? Could it be that God’s blessing is just an obedient step away?
2. What does 1 Thessalonians 5:24 about God’s faithfulness?
He will not drag you along against your will, but He will empower you as we move forward.
3. Bottom line. Why does God want you to live a life of obedience?
Look up the following verses and note the common phrase, “that it may go well for you.”
Deuteronomy 4:40; 5:16; 5:29; 6:3; 6:18; 8:16
Ecclesiastes 8:13
Jeremiah 32:29
One more time, does God want you to obey because it is something He wants from you or for you?
I think you’ve got it!
4. Sum up what you’ve learned this week in one sentence and leave your response in the comment box.
