Questions for Further Study or Group Discussion:
- When you think of the doctrine justification through faith alone (Sola Fide) what comes to mind?
- If you have reservations about the doctrine of Sola Fide, what are they? What walls stand in your way from accepting such a notion?
- In Romans 4:1-5:1, how does Paul see Abraham's faith as being the same saving faith of Christians today?
- Recall the covenant ceremony from Genesis 15. What did the rite reveal about the Lord's commitment to keep his promise?
- What role does Christ play in justification by grace through faith alone?
- What is the Reformation affirmation "Sola Fide" seeking to communicate? In what ways does this impact our lives today?
Memory Verse: Romans 5:1 Therefore, since we have been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. (ESV)
