The Gospel in Action: A letter to Philemon
Be Changed
Philemon 1
Rev. Ho-Ming Tsui
Signs of Change:
1. Your nature: Do others see a difference in me? (v. 11)
2. Your relationships: Does my presence stir up joy in others? (v. 12)
3. Your behaviour: Am I helpful? (v. 13)
Reflection:
What part of Onesimus’ story touches you the most?
Discussion:
After studying the following table, explain it to a friend.
MY STATE | WHAT IS NEEDED | FREED FROM
Old Nature | Justification | Penalty of Sin
New Nature | Sanctification | Power of Sin
Future Nature | Glorification | Presence of Sin
Share about a person who that has refreshed your spirit and brought much joy to you. Pray for them and show your appreciation this upcoming month.
