The Vineyard
I am the vine; you are the
branches. Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit,
for apart from me you can do nothing. – John 15:5
Genesis 19:1-38
Pray for God to speak to you through
the reading of His word.
Read the passage.
-
Understanding our sinfulness
o
Are you quick to judge others sins, especially
if they are different from your own?
o
What does it mean to you, when you
think about the fact that we all deserved to be condemned by God?
-
Understanding God’s grace
o
Do you feel like you can relate to
Lot in some ways?
o
Have you ever been reluctant to
except God’s salvation?
o
Do you fully understand that God
saves us despite ourselves, not because of ourselves?
-
Embracing salvation AND
sanctification
o
The tragedy of Lot’s story is that
he was saved, but he failed to learn anything from the experience, or to
embrace the life that God had preserved for him.
o
Do you ever find yourself looking
backward at your old sinful lifestyle, rather than forward toward what God wants
for you?
Pray that we will be convicted both
of our great sinfulness, and also of God’s great grace toward us.
Pray that we will embrace salvation
and live our lives as a sanctified people.
