Application questions:

  • Share some ways you have experienced a “change of heart” in your life. What causes such changes?  
  • Recap what has happened in the Exodus story from chapter 32-34. 
  • What evidence of a change of heart do we see in the Israelites in this passage? 
  • In Numbers 10, the Israelites finally leave Mt. Sinai and take a 3-day journey into the wilderness. Read Numbers 11:1-6. 
    • What has happened to the Israelites here? 
    • Was their “change of heart” permanent in Exodus 35? 
    • Read 1 Cor. 10:1-13. How does the Apostle describe Israel’s experiences to the church? 
    • Were the hearts of the Israelites genuinely changed? 
    • What is the warning here for us? 
    • How do we know as Christians if our hearts have experienced a genuine change? 
    • Cross reference Hebrews 3:12-19. What is the evidence our hearts have experienced a genuine change and won’t “turn back to Egypt.”? 
    • Are past repentance, giving and obedience evidence of a genuine heart change? Why or why not? 
    • Can we be assured of our salvation as Christians? Where should be look for assurance? (cr. Romans 8:12-17; Phil. 1:6; 3:12-16; 1 Thess. 1:2-10)
