Questions for Personal Reflection/Group Discussion:

1.     What comes to mind when you realize that all the fullness of God is in Christ (Colossians 1:19) and Christ is in you (Colossians 1:27)?

2.     How does it impact you to think that your flesh was dealt a mortal wound at the cross? Why does it still seem so strong sometimes?

3.     What areas of your flesh are you still feeding, comforting, even enjoying? 

4.     What might it look like to “no longer make provision for the flesh” (Romans 13:14) in these areas? Get very practical in answering this question.

5.     Review the theological truths surrounding our present-tense salvation. Which ones are the hardest for you to move from a head-knowledge belief to heart-felt faith? Ask God for faith to believe and meditate on Scriptures that teach this truth.

6.     If you haven’t already, consider getting some alone time with God and ask to be filled with the Holy Spirit. You may consider this progression of thought and heart:

·       Hunger to be filled (this may require a season of fasting from media, food, etc)

·       Confess, repent, and grieve your sin (Psalm 51)

·       Ask Him to fill you (Luke 11:13)

·       Receive this by faith (Galatians 2:20)

·       Obey everything He tells you to do
