Recap:
God inspires obedience in His people by casting an incredible vision of what He will accomplish through our obedience. We saw in Acts chapters 7 and 9 that God used the obedience of Stephen, Ananias, and the disciples to transform a murderer named Saul into the Apostle known as Paul.
Questions:
-Are there times when your obedience to God is produced out of a misplaced sense of fear? Why is this wrong? (Because Jesus already removed our penalty for disobedience so that is no longer viable option for motivation).
-Are there times when you disobey God? What does this reveal about your relationship with Him?
-What does Saul's conversion experience reveal about how men and women are saved? (Salvation isn't based on human desire. It is based on God's desire and when He decides it's time...it's time. Saul wasn't looking for Jesus, Jesus came for him.)
-What does Saul's transformation process reveal about how men and women are changed? (God does it through the example and leadership of people who already follow Him...in Saul's case he used Stephen, Ananias, and the disciple at Damascus.)
-Do you have story of how God has used your obedience to transform someone else's life?
