What is your response to Jesus the One and Only?

DISCUSSION for the FAMILY

Key Points:

• Faith is a fancy word for trusting Jesus.
• Nicodemus learned this lesson when he met Jesus. John 3:3
• Being “born again” is what happens spiritually when you trust in Jesus. John 3:16

Memory Verse:

1 John 5:11-12 And this is the testimony, that God gave us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. Whoever has the Son has life; whoever does not have the Son of God does not have life.

Discussion:

1. What is your initial reaction to this topic? What jumped out at you?
2. Make a list of people you trust. Why do you trust them? How do you know when someone isn’t trustworthy?
3. What does faith mean? Why do you think Jesus is worthy of your trust?
4. What was Jesus trying to teach Nicodemus?
5. What does it mean to be “born again”? Why do we all need a “do over” or a second chance with God?
6. Read Ephesians 2:8-9. What do we have to do to be saved? Why can’t we brag about our relationship with God?
7. Talk about how you can put this truth into action.
