MAX LUCADO
Week 2
READ
2 Peter 1:3-9
Ezekiel 36:24-27
1. God never intended for you to go it alone in your faith or try to lead a godly lifestyle through your own efforts. What does He instead offer to you (see 2 Peter 1:3-4)?
2. Peter says that God empowers us so that we can "participate in the divine nature." What does it look like for you to participate in God's divine nature?
3. What does Peter say that followers of Jesus should "make every effort" to do? What benefits does a person receive who has the qualities that He lists (see verses 5-8)?
4. What promise did God make to the Israelites who had been taken into bondage and captivity because of their idolatry (see Ezekiel 36:24)?
5. God said that He would "sprinkle clean water" on them. What was the Lord saying that He would do for them through this act (see verse 25)?
6. What else does God say that He will provide for those who truly seek to follow after Him? What is the significance of God putting His Spirit within us (see verses 26-27)?
7. Jesus promises you the Holy Spirit so He can care for you at every level of your need. How have you seen the Holy Spirit at work in your life this week?
