    “MAKING FRIENDS FOR GOD:THE JOY OF SHARING IN HIS MISSION”

    STUDY GUIDE PART 13: Moving Forward In Faith : A Step In Faith


    Memory Text: “Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus, who, being in the form of God, did not consider it robbery to be equal with
    God, but made Himself of no reputation, taking the form of a bondservant, and coming in the likeness of men”(Philippians 2:5–7, NKJV).
    OVERVIEW: The reasons and rewards of taking a step in faith to share Jesus were explored this week. We must take into consideration…
     the ultimate sacrifice it was for Jesus to come to earth as a man (Sunday)
     the level of commitment required by the disciples to follow Jesus (Monday)
     the enthusiastic passion of Paul and the apostles, as they built the New Testament church (Tuesday)
     the demands of love placed on both Peter and believers now as we near the Second Coming of Jesus (Wednesday)
     the reality and results of our wholehearted devotion to serving God–it’s worth the price! (Thursday)
    No: KEY BIBLE TEXT KEY QUESTIONS
    1 John 1:10-11, Luke 23:33-34, What story in the Gospels impresses you as a revelation of the self-sacrificing love of Jesus and how can
    Philippians 2:5-11, you tell others or help others to catch a glimpse of the self-sacrificing love of Jesus?
    Revelation 5:8-14
    2 Matthew 4:18-22, Share a time when God placed a special call on your life. What did you have to leave behind in order to
    Acts 9:1 respond to His call and what counsel would you give to a friend who says to you, “I think Jesus is calling me
    but I’m not sure I’m willing to pay the cost”?
    3 2 Corinthians 5:14, 15 and How do we live for Christ and what kind of action does it call for? What is required to “fight the good fight”
    Romans 5:8, 2 Timothy 4:5-8 and “finish the race”, and why is it important for us to “love His appearing”, and how do we indicate that
    we do love it?
    4 John 21:15-19, John 13:17, 1 What are some ways you have seen followers of Jesus demonstrating the love of God not only by what
    John 3:16-19 and Deuteronomy they say but also by what they do? Share an experience when the love of God motivated you to reach out
    15:7 to someone in love. How did that experience impact your life?

    Hopefully, this quarter’s study of ways to witness and share our faith has helped ease our anxiety about making friends for God.
     Most of the reasons people have for not witnessing are related to their own fear of rejection or embarrassment. Focusing
    on God and the ways He has blessed us, however, helps conquer our feelings of inadequacy, giving us the courage and
    motivation to actively serve Him in love. It’s faith in God, not faith in ourselves, which permits this to happen.
     Ellen G. White tells us in The Desire of Ages, p.347: “Our confession of His faithfulness is Heaven’s chosen agency for
    revealing Christ to the world. We are to acknowledge His grace as made known through the holy men of old; but that which
    will be most effectual is the testimony of our own experience. We are witnesses for God as we reveal in ourselves the
    working of a power that is divine.”
     Let’s remember that the word “witness” is a verb (a word that shows action) and also a “noun” (a person or thing).
    Therefore, we are not only called to witness, but to BE a witness. When we faithfully do both, God is glorified in us. In other
    words, others will see Jesus in us.
