Connected to God and to each other
NEW LIFE by the Holy Spirit.
Key Memory Verse:
Romans 8:16-17
The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God’s
children. Now if we are children, then we are heirs-heirs of
God and co-heirs with Christ, if indeed we share in his
sufferings in order that we may also share in his glory.

Introduction
Memorize Romans 8:16-17 together.
Read Romans 7:15-25
Although this describes the old way of life, describe how at
times you still struggle with living a life pleasing to God by
your own strength.
Read Romans 8:1-4
From these verses, describe the sort of assurance God
wants you to have regarding your salvation.
Read Romans 8:15-17
Personally, do most Christians think more about the fact
that God is their “Abba” or that at in the end we have an
inheritance?
Can you think of a time when you felt the closeness of God
as “Abba”?
Read Romans 8:26-28
Share with the group ways in which the assurance of the
intercession of the Holy Spirit and God’s promise of
working good has helped you face some difficult
challenges?
Is there an area of prayer in which you don’t know what
God would want you to be praying? How does the Spirit
helps us- be specific.
Read Romans 8:31-32,35, 37-39
What is the main motivation of the Christian to live by the
Spirit of God?
