Discussion Questions

  1. Discuss expressive individualism. Can you define it? Where do you see it most clearly - in society or in yourself?
  2. God is sovereign. Is that scary to you? Or is it a comfort? Why?
  3. Salvation is 100% God. Not 99%. Even our faith is not ours - it is from God (Eph 2:8-9). What are the practical implications of believing that? (Try to steer clear of arguing for or against the doctrine of election. Stick to the text.)
  4. You are in the Beloved! Do you believe that? How does the doctrine of election help you believe?
