Description

Are You Living by Rules or by the Spirit?

Discussion Questions:

1. Read 2 Corinthians 2:14-16. Paul says we are the aroma of Christ. How do people “smell” Christ through us—maybe without use even saying a word?
2. Read 2 Corinthians 3:4-6. Where do you personally feel inadequate, and how might seeing your adequacy in God shift that?
3. Read 2 Corinthians 3:7-9. Why do you think Paul calls the Ten Commandments “the ministry of death”? How does that challenge common assumptions about the law?
4. Read 2 Corinthians 3:10-11. The new covenant is described as “more glorious.” What makes it more glorious than the old covenant?
5. Read 2 Corinthians 3:12-15. The veil is removed in Christ. What veil do people still wear today when approaching God, and how does Christ remove it?
6. Read 2 Corinthians 3:17. What kind of liberty or freedom does the Holy Spirit inspire in us?
7. Read 2 Corinthians 3:18. How does seeing Christ IN you (“as in a mirror”) change the way you view growing in God’s grace?
