1. The Wrath of God Against Those Who Withstand His Truth
—
Romans 1:18-19—1857
1. Following Paul’s example, Finney uses natural theology to show people
their moral obligation to God and their true moral guilt before God.
Today, how would you argue from nature to convince someone they are
sinners and God holds them responsible for their decisions and actions?
2. Define these terms: sin,
ungodliness, unrighteousness, and wickedness. Today, how
comfortable are people when they hear these terms used in describing
behavior, especially their behavior? How can Christians help people face
the consequences of their behavior so they will repent and come to faith
in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior?
3. Since truth is a natural
stimulus to the mind, how can knowing this fact aid and encourage you in
your work of evangelism?
4. How does Finney describe the
workings of our conscience? Define “a sense of obligation.”
5. Why do you agree or disagree
with this statement: “The very apprehending of moral truth concerning
God renders it impossible to be indifferent” (see page 4). Can you
confirm or refute Finney’s belief by considering how Peter and John,
Ananias and Sapphira, and the high priest and council responded to the
gospel of Jesus Christ (see Acts 2-7) ?
