- What does it personally mean to you that, in Christ, you are a “new creation” rather than simply a better version of your old self?
- How do people often define their identity by their past, their failures, or the opinions of others, and how does the message of the gospel challenge those labels?
- Scripture speaks about God giving us a new heart. Since you began following Jesus, where have you noticed Him reshaping your desires, attitudes, or priorities?
- What are some practical habits or rhythms that help you set your mind on eternal things instead of being dominated by the temporary pressures of daily life?
- In the story of the paralyzed man, he walked away carrying the mat that once carried him. What might a modern “mat” look like in someone’s life today, and how does embracing our new identity in Christ change the way we walk forward?
