Faithful Christian - Wednesday Class
Teacher
Lesson Summary
The class began by reviewing Lesson Two’s theme of walking as a new man, emphasizing the shift from being dead in sin to being dead to sin, as explained through Romans 6. Jeremy explained that baptism represents burial with Christ and rising to a new, sin‑free life, calling believers to serve Christ as their new master. The discussion then moved to the concept of the Christian way, citing the narrow path of Matthew 7:14 and warning against false teaching with reference to 2 Peter 2, urging participants to seek truth in Scripture. The group examined several biblical choices—Deuteronomy 30:15‑20, Joshua 24:15, and Jeremiah 21:8—highlighting the daily decision between the way of life and the way of death. Jeremy explored whether believers serve God out of compulsion or desire, using Jesus’ early commitment in Luke 2 and His mission statements in Luke 4:43 and John 9:4 as examples. The class concluded with practical analogies, such as target practice, to illustrate the need for continual practice and heart‑level obedience in the Christian walk.
Key Scriptures
Shall we continue in sin that grace may abound? By no means! How can we who died to sin still live in it?
For the gate is small, and the way is narrow that leads to life, and there are few who find it.
See, I have set before you today life and good, death and evil. Choose life so that you and your descendants may live.
