Application Questions
As you consider the various glimpses of grace in this passage, which one was most meaningful to you? How should that impact your outlook and actions this week?
Read 1 John 1:9-10. What things/people are you most tempted to blame for your sin? Why is blaming others counterproductive in response to sin?
In a sin-cursed world, what might people look to for hope besides Christ? How might you be tempted to put hope in these things, and why is hoping in anything but Christ ultimately futile?
Read Ecclesiastes 5:18-26. While your work and your home will feel the effects of Genesis 3 this week, how should the grace we find in Christ change our perspective from despair to one of joy this week
Read Revelation 22:1-5. What excites you most about this future scene of renewed fellowship with God in heaven? How should this reality encourage or challenge you this week?
