Jonah Pt. 5 - On Repentance and Mercy

1. Read Rom. 8:31-39. In light of what we talked about Sunday, what is the encouragement in this passage for us?


2. What are some blessings associated with humble submission and repentance according to Scripture? What “blessings” are often attributed to following the lord but are actually NOT promised according to Scripture? Why is it important to recognize these?


3. What are some ways (and some reasons) we might put ourselves on “god’s bad list” – thinking we have to earn our way back into His favor. Why is this way of thinking dangerous and disrespectful to God, and what does God really require of us?


4. What was encouraging to you about this passage and what it tells us about God?
