Questions for reflection for 1 John 3:1-7

1. Do you truly believe you are a child of God?
2. In vs. 2 the author suggests that transformation to be like Christ is part of what happens to us as God’s children. What does that transformation look like in your life? How is God transforming you?
3. Moral behaviour is connected to who we are. Observe your words, thoughts, and actions. What does that tell you about who you are?

Questions for reflection on Easter

1. When we look at the Resurrection our immediate reaction might be to ask “did that really happen?”. It is an incredible claim after all. What is your reaction to the resurrection as a historical event?
2. If we come to believe it really happened, then what does it mean? was it just a freak historical occurrence, or does it mean something more? What does the Resurrection mean?
