Pop Quiz Week 3:

When asked what they would like to change most about themselves, teenagers usually answer by naming something about their physical appearance.  Why are so many people unhappy with their physical appearance?

Week 3-Fear of Rejection….

MIND CLEANSER…

He has taken our sins away from us as far as the east is from the west. (Ps. 103:12)

What happens to the mistakes you make?

This is my blood which is the new agreement that God makes with his people.  This blood is poured out for many to forgive their sins. (Mt.26:28)

Why did Christ die for you?

God loved the world so much that he gave his one and only Son so that whoever believes in him may not be lost, but have eternal life. (Jn 3:16)

What is God’s promise to you?

I tell you the truth, whoever hears what I say and believes in the One who sent me has eternal life.  That person will not be judged guilty but has already left death and entered life.(John 5:24)

Why do you think God promised you this great gift?

All have sinned and are not good enough for God’s glory, and all need to be made right with God by his grace, which is a free gift.  They need to be made free from sin through Jesus Christ.(Romans 3:23-24)

What is your favorite thing about being made right with God?

Happy are they whose sins are forgiven. (Romans 4:7)

When are you happiest?

While you were God’s enemies, he made friends with us through the death of his Son.  Surely, now that we are his friends, he will save us through his Son’s life. (Rm 5:10)

Do you consider God to be your friend?

The Spirit we received does not make us slaves again to fear; it makes us children of God.  With that Spirit we cry out, “Father.” (Rm. 8:15)

Describe your relationship with God.

Yes, I am sure that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor ruling spirits, nothing now, nothing in the future, no powers, nothing above us, nothing below us, nor anything else in the whole world will ever be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord. (Rm. 8:38-39)

Why is Paul so convinced?

In Christ we are set free by the blood of his death, and so we have forgiveness of sins.  How rich is God’s grace.(2 Cor. 5:17, 19, 21)

How do you experience God’s grace?

I mean that you have been saved by grace through believing.  You did not save yourselves; it was a gift from God.  It was not the result of your own efforts, so you cannot brag about it.(Eph. 1:7)

Do you feel proud that God saved you?

If your score was:

57-70:  Congratulations!  You are virtually free from the fear of failure.  (Maybe you should be writing this chapter!)

47-56:  Good!  You have a very small fear of failure.  It may be only certain situations that cause you trouble.

37-46:  You have a moderate to strong fear of failure.  It is likely that a good number of your decisions are designed to minimize your chance of failing.

27-36:  You have a high fear of failure.  Your emotional lows will almost always be a result of your fear of failure or the belief that you have already failed in some way.  Nearly all of your decisions are designed to keep you as far from failing as possible.

God’s Solution:

Correct Belief #1

I thank God that my actions (successes or failures) have nothing to do with Christ’s love  for me.

Since we have been made right with God by our faith, we have peace with God.  This happened through our Lord Jesus Christ. (Romans 5:1)

Correct Belief #2

I thank God that since He has taken away my sin and given me Christ’s righteousness, I am now right with God.

Christ had no sin, but God made him become sin so that in Christ we could become right with God. (2 Cor. 5:21)

Correct Belief  #3

I thank God that I am now as pure and righteous and pleasing to Him as His Son, Jesus Christ!

At one time you were separated from God.  You were his enemies in your minds, and the evil things you did were against God.  But now God has made you his friend again.(Col. 1:21-22)

Correct Belief #4

I thank God that I don’t have to dwell on my past sins or present-day failures – He has forgotten them and so should I!

Their sins and the evil things they do…I will not remember.

(Col. 1:21-22)
