QUESTIONS

Q1. In v11, why did Christ say all these things to the disciples? Review what has been said to them. What things or kind of life do you think brings you most joy to a believer in this world?

Q2. Review: What is the characteristic of being Christ's disciple and friend? Is that your life?

Q3. Does v23-24 mean that people have not sin if they not know about sin? Explain the verses.

Q4. What did the Lord Jesus tell His disciples, hence us, to expect while He is not physically with us? Why do they do such things? Give examples today.

Q5. How do you feel when you hear that you will face persecutions? What did Christ told us to do?

Q6. From the word "offended" in 16:1, what danger do we face when persecution occurs? What is the warning for us today?

Q7. What is the promise we have and can depend upon in times of persecution?

Q8. Does this mean that the Holy Spirit has not come and believers before this did not have the Holy Spirit? Explain using Scriptures.

Q9. What did our Lord say regarding what the Holy Spirit would do?

Q10. What is the focus of the Holy Spirit in relation to Christ? How does the Charismatic movement contradict this?

Q11. What were the "little while" in v16 that the disciples could not understand? How did vv20 and 22 come true as the Lord promised them? How should this also affect us today?

Q12. From v24, what answered prayers brings us most joy? Why?

Bible Passage (KJV): John 16:1-15

1 These things have I spoken unto you, that ye should not be offended.

2 They shall put you out of the synagogues: yea, the time cometh, that whosoever killeth you will think that he doeth God service.

3 And these things will they do unto you, because they have not known the Father, nor me.

4 But these things have I told you, that when the time shall come, ye may remember that I told you of them. And these things I said not unto you at the beginning, because I was with you.

5 But now I go my way to him that sent me; and none of you asketh me, Whither goest thou?

6 But because I have said these things unto you, sorrow hath filled your heart.

7 Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you.

8 And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment:

9 Of sin, because they believe not on me;

10 Of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and ye see me no more;

11 Of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged.

12 I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now.

13 Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.

14 He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you.

15 All things that the Father hath are mine: therefore said I, that he shall take of mine, and shall shew it unto you.

14 Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?

15 And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel?

16 And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.

17 Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you,

2 Feed the flock of God which is among you, taking the oversight thereof, not by constraint, but willingly; not for filthy lucre, but of a ready mind;

3 Neither as being lords over God's heritage, but being examples to the flock.

4 And when the chief Shepherd shall appear, ye shall receive a crown of glory that fadeth not away.

5 Likewise, ye younger, submit yourselves unto the elder. Yea, all of you be subject one to another, and be clothed with humility: for God resisteth the proud,

and giveth grace to the humble.

6 Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time:

CHAPTER XI OF JUSTIFICATION

1. THOSE whom God effectually calleth he also freely justifieth;1 not by infusing righteousness into them, but by pardoning their sins, and by accounting and accepting their persons as righteous: not for anything wrought in them, or done by them, but for Christ’s sake alone: not by imputing faith itself, the act of believing, or any other evangelical obedience, to them as their righteousness; but by imputing the obedience and satisfaction of Christ unto them,2 they receiving and resting on him and his righteousness by faith: which faith they have not of themselves, it is the gift of God.3

1. Rom. 8:30; Rom. 3:24.

2. Rom. 4:5-8; II Cor. 5:19,21; Rom. 3:22,24-25,27-28; Tit. 3:5,7; Eph. 1:7; Jer. 23:6; I Cor. 1:30-31; Rom. 5:17-19.

3. Acts 10:44; Gal. 2:16; Phil. 3:9; Acts 13:38-39; Eph. 2:7-8.

2. Faith, thus receiving and resting on Christ and his righteousness, is the alone instrument of justification;4 yet is it not alone in the person justified, but is ever accompanied with all other saving graces, and is no dead faith, but worketh by love.5

4. John 1:12; Rom. 3:28; Rom. 5:1.

5. James 2:17,22,26; Gal. 5:6.

3. Christ, by his obedience and death, did fully discharge the debt of all those that are thus justified, and did make a proper, real, and full satisfaction to his Father’s justice in their behalf.6 Yet, inasmuch as he was given by the Father for them,7 and his obedience and satisfaction accepted in their stead,8 and both freely, not for anything in them, their justification is only of free grace;9 that both the exact justice and rich grace of God might be glorified in the justification of sinners.10

6. Rom. 5:8-10,19; I Tim. 2:5-6; Heb. 10:10,14; Dan. 9:24,26; Isa. 53:4-6,10-12.

7. Rom. 8:32.

8. II Cor. 5:21; Matt. 3:17; Eph. 5:2.

9. Rom. 3:24; Eph. 1:7.

10. Rom. 3:26; Eph. 2:7.
