The document discusses the relationship between believers and God regarding guilt, conviction, and obedience. It presents a diagram explaining that believers are made right with God positionally through faith alone, though they may still experience conviction of sin or a sense of God's discipline practically if not walking with Him. True guilt and shame come from unconfessed sin, but believers are freed from condemnation. Obedience stems from love, not fear or a desire to be accepted.

In this second of four sessions of our “Being and Making Disciples” workshop held in Sacele on September 1,2012 we answered the question “How Did I Begin to Disciple Someone?. We started by looking at things we should take into consideration even before we start discipling someone like how we should model Jesus, the importance of focusing on relationships and the goal of what we do in discipleship. We then went on to look at five key things we should do to help those we are discipling to get off to a good start.
The ultimate goal of salvation is to have the most intimate, powerful, satisfying, transforming relationship with God, Father,Son & Holy Spirit progressively now and fully in heaven. Learn the benefits of this and the obstacles to it. The more we know God intimately, the more we know ourselves who are made in His image. We are more than we think we are and knowing God intimately will reveal that to us so we can fulfill our true destiny more.
How confident are you in your relationship with God? Do you know that you know Him? Do you know that you are going to be with Him in heaven for eternity?
God makes a distinction between those who sin in ignorance and those who sin willfully (Numbers 15:27-31), repentance is always necessary to receive forgiveness (Mark 1:15; Acts 2:38; Acts 26:18). Repentance is literally a change in one’s attitude about God and accompanies saving faith in Christ (Acts 3:19; 20:21; 26:20).
Without it there can be no forgiveness. Jesus said, “No, I tell you; but unless you repent, you will all likewise perish” (Luke 13:3; cf. 17:3-4; 2 Peter 3:9).
To sin willfully is to be proud and presumptuous in one’s defiance of God (Psalm 19:13; Hebrews 10:26). Willful sins bring God’s judgment, sooner or later, but sins of ignorance are not excusable, either:

The Book of Joshua is the sixth book in the Hebrew Bible and the Old Testament, and is the first book of the Deuteronomistic history, the story of Israel from the conquest of Canaan to the Babylonian exile.
In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer. In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.

1. Hebrews 10:21-22 – And since we
have a great High Priest who rules
over God’s house, 22let us go right
into the presence of God with
sincere hearts fully trusting him. For
our guilty consciences have been
sprinkled with Christ’s blood to make
us clean, and our bodies have been
washed with pure water. NLT
3. Romans 3:23-28 – For all have
sinned; all fall short of God’s
glorious standard. 24Yet now God
in his gracious kindness declares
us not guilty.

Jesus, who has freed us by
taking away our sins. 25For God
sent Jesus to take the
punishment for our sins and to
satisfy God’s anger against us.
5. We are made right with God
when we believe that Jesus shed
his blood, sacrificing his life for
us. God was being entirely fair
and just when he did not punish
those who sinned in former
times.
6. 26And
he is entirely fair and just in
this present time when he
declares sinners to be right in his
sight because they believe in
Jesus.

us in any way.
34. 10For
the kind of sorrow God

away from sin and results in
salvation. There’s no regret for
that kind of sorrow. But worldly
sorrow, which lacks repentance,
results in spiritual death. NLT
