Mental Worship questions

1. What would you have said was the purpose of salvation before this morning? Did this morning change, add, or subtract from your understanding of that purpose?
2. Has the Holy Spirit trained you to renounce ungodliness and worldly passions? What is your evidence?
3. What would you have said before this morning are the three things the holy Spirit trains believers to be? Why do you think this passage says self-control, uprightness, and godly living? To what degree do those three characteristics define you?
4. What do you put your hope in? Have you ever put your hope in something that has failed you? Does knowing that Jesus is coming back and that he is going to make every wrong right help you get through tragedy?
5. Jesus gave himself up to redeem and purify us which should lead to a “Zeal for good works.” Where does this come out in your life?
6. Did anything you hear this morning convict you to live for a bigger view of salvation?
