Week 12: Thursday Discipleship

  • 2 Corinthians 5:17-21

    Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come. All this is from God, who through Christ reconciled us to himself and gave us the ministry of reconciliation; that is, in Christ God was reconciling the world to himself, not counting their trespasses against them, and entrusting to us the message of reconciliation. Therefore, we are ambassadors for Christ, God making his appeal through us. We implore you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God. For our sake he made him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.

  • 1 Peter 2:24-25

    He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, that we might die to sin and live to righteousness. By his wounds you have been healed. For you were straying like sheep, but have now returned to the Shepherd and Overseer of your souls.

  • Q-How does God demonstrate His love for us through Jesus?

    A-God demonstrates His love by sending Jesus to die for us while we were still sinners. Through Jesus' sacrifice, we are justified, saved from God’s wrath, and reconciled to Him, securing our peace with God and giving us reason to rejoice.

  • 1 John 4:9

    In this the love of God was made manifest among us, that God sent his only Son into the world, so that we might live through him.

  • *Establish a rhythm of cultivating devotion to Jesus.

    *Learn and internalize the Bible memory verse.

    *Commit the catechism to memory.
