by God when you were desperate.
of God from any future wrath.
with God in the present.

Applying God’s Word to Life

  1. Who’s someone you were afraid to meet up with? When? Why?

  2. Who’s someone you used to be afraid of that you now look forward to seeing them? Why?

  3. Who’s someone famous you had the privilege of meeting? Do tell.

  4. What’s so significant about the believer’s invitation to “draw near with confidence to the throne of grace” (Heb. 4:16)?

  5. How has Jesus’ presence changed your perspective on the present?

  6. What are some examples of the hard things that helped you grow?

  7. How desperate was your need before Jesus’ came to rescue you?

  8. How has Jesus’ offer of salvation changed your view of the past and of the future?

  9. How would you rate your fear of the future? Of Death? Of meeting your Maker? Why?

  10. How has Jesus, His teachings, and the gospel changed how you relate to God? To other believers?

  11. What might God want you to believe or do differently as a result of the good news of Romans 5? How will you walk in this?
