Before Abraham was Born, I AM 24 Apr 16

Some have said that Jesus never actually claimed to be God. But what if that statement is wrong? Let’s look at what His claims about Himself mean for us.

Overcoming Deception:

  • Pray Proverbs 30:8
  • Listen to people who disagree with you
  • Hold to the teachings of Jesus

TEXT: John 8:31-59; Proverbs 30:8

  1. Do you believe in the devil?  What is the devil’s primary weapon of destruction?
  2. Read John 8:31-41.  How does knowing the truth make us free?  From what are we free?
  3. Have you ever thought of yourself as a slave to sin?  Why did the religious leaders have such a hard time with this comment from Jesus?
  4. Read John 8:42-59.  Is it possible to be used by satan and not even know it?  Have you ever been guilty of that?
  5. Jesus seemed to teach that the world was divided into 2 camps: children of satan and children of God.  Do you agree with that?  Why or why not?
  6. How do you protect yourself from being deceived?
  7. Read John 8:31-32. What does it mean for you to “hold to the teachings” of Jesus?
    • Does that characterize your life?
    • What could your life look like if you faithfully practiced holding to Christ’s teachings?
