A Revealing Correlation

Word from the Pastor: The greater our sense of the measure of God’s forgiveness, the greater the measure of our love for Christ.

Text: Luke 7.36-50

  1. Re-read our word from the pastor. In the spirit of self examination, apply that to your own walk with God. Does it tell you anything you care to talk about?
  2. Does this principle reveal or explain anything about what we see (or maybe don’t see) in ranks of professing Christians today? Like what?
  3. From our narrative today it should be clear that if our love for Christ is to grow and flourish, one huge key is getting a better grip on the extent of our human sinfulness from God has pardoned us in Christ. Suggest some steps we might take to re-familiarize ourselves with the mess we natively are and how we may come to a renewed appreciation of what God’s forgiveness really means.
  4. Look closely at verses 47-50. Obviously this woman’s love for Christ and faith in Christ are intimately connected. Explain how they are connected. Hint: Can one exist without the other? I.e. can a person claim to trust in Christ and not love Him or love Him and not trust in Him?
