Following up on our previous study, we'll talk more about salvation by faith alone and explore what Jesus means when uses the word "believe" to describe the "work" man must do in John 6:29. We'll also learn more about the Garden in Eden and the creation of Adam.

SMALL GROUP QUESTIONS:

In what ways might the concept of salvation by faith alone (not works) be misunderstood or misapplied? How can we maintain a proper balance between grace and obedience?

Do you notice a difference in the “fruit” you produce when you’ve been spending time with God vs. when you haven’t?

When you fail and fall into sin, how quickly do you go to God and why (I.E., what makes you go to Him quickly or slowly)?
