- Read verses 5-8 and react to this statement: Don’t walk like them because you are not them.
- How do verses 9-10 demonstrate (via past tense) that we believers can now “be ourselves”? What is being “renewed”?
- Does “chosen of God” in verse 12 support Calvinism? Why or why not?
- Why does verse 13 appear to be the opposite of what we see in the Lord’s Prayer (if you forgive others, then God will forgive you)? How do we explain the discrepancy?
