We must be cautious not to interpret _______________ subjectively in order to support what have been personal mistakes (Genesis 17:15-18; Proverbs 3:5-6; See Principle 18 in Hebrews; Hebrews 12:1-2). Reflection and Response How can we guard against erroneously interpreting circumstances and even Scripture in order to support our desires that may seem to be right-but in fact, are wrong? Water Baptism 27. As born-again Christians, we should demonstrate ________________ our identification with Christ's death and resurrection through water baptism (Genesis 17:23-27; Romans 4:11; See Principle 7 in Romans; Matthew 28:19; Galatians 3:27-29). Reflection and Response What often happens when Christians believe that water baptism is an element in God's plan of salvation rather than an illustration of what has already happened when we are saved by grace through faith? (See Ephesians 2:8-10.) Trusting God 28. In order to help others overcome their skepticism and unbelief, we are to first and foremost trust God to ______________ in their lives (Genesis 18:1-2a, 9-15; Hebrews 11:11). Reflection and Response When Jesus dealt with Thomas and his doubts, how does this event correlate with the way God dealt with Sarah and her doubts (see John 20:19-28)? Spiritual Regression 29. Even though we are growing spiritually, we must be careful not to regress to old _______________ of sinful behavior (Review Principle 16 in Genesis; Genesis 20:1-3, 9-13; 1 Corinthians 10:11-12; See Principle 21 in 1 Corinthians; 1 Corinthians 10:13). Reflection and Response What precautions should we take in our Christian lives in order to avoid regressing to old patterns of sinful behavior? NEW TESTAMENT PRINCIPLES 26. Principle 18 in Hebrews-Our Primary Focus Though God has ordained that we be encouraged by heroes of faith, we should always focus our thoughts first and foremost on the Lord Jesus Christ. 27. Principle 7 in Romans-“The Father of Us All” Since we are saved by faith and faith alone, we must clearly understand that “good works” have no part in making us righteous before God. 29. Review Principle 16 in Genesis-Seeking God's Wisdom When we face difficult circumstances, we should always seek God's wisdom so that we'll continue to walk in His will. 29. Principle 21 in 1 Corinthians-Lessons From Scripture As we read the biblical story, we are to learn lessons that relate particularly to God's discipline on His people when they persistently violated His will.
