Opening Question: Have you, or someone you know, ever needed a lawyer?
Check out and discuss man’s problem with God, according to the verses below:
There isn't anyone on earth who does only what is right and never sins. - Ecclesiastes 7:20
Everyone has sinned. No one measures up to God's glory. - Romans 3:23
When you sin, the pay you get is death. But God gives you the gift of eternal life because of what Christ Jesus our Lord has done. - Romans 6:23
The royal law is found in Scripture. It says, "Love your neighbor as you love yourself." If you really keep that law, you are doing what is right. But suppose you keep the whole law, and trip over just one part of it. Then you are guilty of breaking all of it. - James 2:8,10
Q2: What is the job description of a lawyer?
Q3: How are you doing at keeping the “royal law” of God?
Q4: How would you describe Jesus’ role as a lawyer, based on the following verses:
I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. - John 14:6
There is only one God. And there is only one go-between for God and human beings. He is the man Christ Jesus. - 1 Timothy 2:5
My dear children, I'm writing this to you so that you will not sin. But suppose someone does sin. Then we have one who speaks to the Father for us. He stands up for us. He is Jesus Christ, the Blameless One. He gave his life to pay for our sins. But he not only paid for our sins. He also paid for the sins of the whole world. - 1 John 2:1,2
Q5: Why do we need Jesus as our lawyer when we stand before God on Judgment Day?
Q6: Have you hired (i.e., decided to trust, obey and follow) Jesus as your “lawyer” yet?
