- Read Matt. 3:1-3; 4:12-17, what do you think that Matthew intends for his readers to understand from these passages? Discuss about the significance of teaching and preaching of John and Jesus in the passages.
- How do we define repentance? Do you think that repentance is necessary for Christian life? Why? Did you feel a sincere sorrow for sin when you first came to Christ? Can you describe what it felt like? Did it lead you to a genuine commitment to forsake sin?
- Discuss about the possibility of someone genuinely trusting in Christ for forgiveness of sins without also sincerely repenting for sins.
- Discuss about the involvement of genuine repentance.
- Have faith and repentance remained a continuing part of your Christian life? Or have those attitudes of heart grown somewhat weak in your life?
- Have you come to trust in Christ personally? Or are you still at the point of intellectual knowledge and emotional approval of the facts of salvation without having personally put your trust in Christ?
- If you have not put your trust in Christ yet, what do you think it is that making you hesitate?
