Lesson 22: Brought into the Family of God through Faith in the Gospel
Question 1
Marco Polo of Mike’s teaching: Monday 31st May 2021
“So in Christ Jesus, you are all children of God through faith, 27 for all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ. 28 There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus. 29 If you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise.”
Galatians 3:26-29 NIV
“My prayer is not for them alone. I pray also for those who will believe in me through their message, that all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you. May they also be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me. 22 I have given them the glory that you gave me, that they may be one as we are one - 23 I in them and you in me—so that they may be brought to complete unity.”
John 17:20-23a NIV
“There are at least 3 things that…people begin to experience as they discover that they still sin:
We begin to question our spiritual status. Am I even saved? Wow, am I even part of the family of God at all? There is this insecurity that comes because after all I am sinning and I know it’s wrong and I still do it.
We feel this exposure to God’s anger and to His frown, feeling like we are not measuring up. We have this naked and exposed feeling that we are just in sin and it is just wrong.
Unity is broken. We get at odds with people…
In Galatians 3:26-29, notice what Paul says about these three things...How should we find our assurance that we are in the family of God? Paul says we are all children of God through faith.”
Question 1: How does faith in the gospel provide everything needed to perfect us and mature us?

“...We are one in the Father’s love
We of every tribe and every tongue
We are found in the risen Son
We are bound together by his blood
Let us walk in love for we are one
There’s a love that conquers all divides
There’s a love that paid the greatest price
For the battle over death is won
Now alive in Christ we live as one”
