What Means This?

Hebrews 12: 15

"See to it that no one misses the grace of God and that no bitter root grows up to cause trouble and defile many."

1) Is the command for us to inspect ourselves or to help others not "miss the grace? Could it mean both in this passage?

2) What does "miss the grace" mean. One Bible teacher says it addresses Jewish people who had not trusted Christ and were in danger of missing salvation by grace. Another says it means that Christians should live so as to show the grace of God to others.

3) Is the second part of the verse the result of the first or a separate command?

What do you think?

Will This Work?

This blog is being set up for the potential use of growing disciples at Dacus Baptist Church, Montgomery, TX. This first post is a trail to see how it could work.

Ultimately we would like to do more detailed studies, book studies, character studies and theme studies. For this trial post we will just be listing one verse of Scripture, asking a question and encouraging you to respond.

You responses will help us see how this might work.

Verse for today: Hebrews 11:6

"But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him."

What do we need to please God?

What do you think it means that God is a "rewarder"?
