spacerQuestions for Discussion

  1. Why does Paul make the assertion that Christians must "rejoice in [their] sufferings"?
  2. In what way is Jesus Christ's "free gift" of grace more powerful than Adam's legacy of "trespass"?
  3. What does Paul mean when he writes that the people are "justified by faith"?
  4. According to Paul, why does grace abound "all the more" as sin has increased in the world?
  5. If, as Paul writes, Christ died so that "we might no longer be enslaved to sin," why do sin and death continue in the world? If, as Paul writes, the people are united in Christ in death, why do the people still have the freedom to let sin "reign in [their] mortal bodies"?
