The Immersed Life

11/18/2018

We are called as Christians to live a baptized life. This is a state of relationship with God which begins at conversion, is confirmed in baptism, and continues unto our death. This week in your group, spend some time sharing with each other about what living the baptized life has meant for you.

Specifically:

How did you come to confess Christ and be born again? (Justification)
What circumstances or convictions brought you to the point of walking in the obedience of baptism? (Confirmation)
What has living the baptized life meant for you since? (Sanctification)
What has been one of the most impactful scripture passages for you through this process? Or, what is something in scripture that God has been using in your life recently?

Homework
Try to share a brief version of your story of justification and sanctification with someone who is not a believer this week. This could be as simple as saying, “God is has been so faithful in my life….” and let the Holy Spirit lead from there.
The second part of this is telling your group about what happened. If you have a group chat, or text, throw your story in there. Otherwise, lead off next week with some story telling.
