Welcome

Many Sabbath School class teachers either preach a sermon to their class or deliver a monologue on the whole lesson, going through it "day-by-day." The most rewarding sessions involve the members in discussion. These questions here are intended to stimulate the active participation of the members in your class. Of course pertinent information imparted by the teacher is also very valuable, for which there are many resources in print and on the internet. This site seeks to provide a resource for discussions.

If you are a member and not a teacher and your class is boring, try asking questions such as these in your class.

Lesson 6 (July 29-Aug 4), The Priority of the Promise

Law and Faith

  1. Why do humans have such a hard time believing that salvation can be so free?
  2. What conditions are there, if any, to receiving God's saving grace?
  3. Is God's promise of salvation revocable? Can he go back on His promise? What does the Bible mean when it says "God repented?"
Faith and Law
  1. If the law was to be nailed to the cross, what was the point in giving it in the first place?
  2. How does salvation by faith through grace "establish the law?" Doesn't it nullify the law?
  3. What is meant by the phrase "Christ fulfilled the law?" He kept it? He satisfied the requirements of the law once and for all for everyone?
The Purpose of the Law
  1. How many kinds of laws are there in the Bible? Why are there so many kinds?
  2. Why does the Mosaic law not apply to Christians?
  3. Why do Adventists believe that certain portions of Leviticus such as the guidelines on clean meats, still apply?
The Duration of God's Law
  1. Did the Ten Commandments exist before Sinai?  Why didn't God reveal them to Abraham?
  2. What makes us think that the law is applicable even after the cross?
  3. Why do we say that the law is  transcript of God's character? How can God's character be revealed fully in ten points?
The Superiority of the Promise
  1. Do humans have a right to a plan of salvation?
  2. What could have been the outcome if God did not come up with a plan of salvation?
  3. Why could not a portion of humans remain faithful like one third of the angels did?
  4. Why was there no plan of salvation for the angels?
