John 8: ³¹Jesus told the people who had faith in him, "If you keep on obeying what I have said, you truly are my disciples. ³²You will know the truth, and the truth will set you free."
Acts 14: ¹⁵.... Turn to the living God, who made the sky, the earth, the sea, and everything in them. ¹⁶In times past, God let each nation go its own way. ¹⁷But he showed that he was there by the good things he did. God sends rain from heaven and makes your crops grow. He gives food to you and makes your hearts glad. (CEV)
1. What impresses you the most of all the daily gifts that God keeps on supplying?

Acts 17: ²²So Paul stood up in front of the council and said: ".... ²⁴This God made the world and everything in it. He is Lord of heaven and earth, and he doesn't live in temples built by human hands. ²⁵He doesn't need help from anyone. He gives life, breath, and everything else to all people. ²⁶From one person God made all nations who live on earth, and he decided when and where every nation would be. ²⁷God has done all this, so that we will look for him and reach out and find him. He isn't far from any of us, ²⁸and he gives us the power to live, to move, and to be who we are. "We are his children," just as some of your poets have said.....
    ³⁰In the past, God forgave all this because people did not know what they were doing. But now he says that everyone everywhere must turn to him. ³¹He has set a day when he will judge the world's people with fairness. And he has chosen the man Jesus to do the judging for him. God has given proof of this to all of us by raising Jesus from death. (CEV)
2. Why should God's gifts of live, movement, and being cause us to turn to Him with thanks?

1 John 3: ¹⁶We know what love is because Jesus gave his life for us. That's why we must give our lives for each other.
John 3: ¹⁶God loved the people of this world so much that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who has faith in him will have eternal life and never really die. ¹⁷God did not send his Son into the world to condemn its people. He sent him to save them! (CEV)
3. Describe how the love of God and Jesus works out in practical everyday living.

Acts 4: ¹²Only Jesus has the power to save! His name is the only one in all the world that can save anyone. (CEV)
4. When people fail to examine the teachings of Jesus, what draws them away from Him?

Colossians 1: ⁹.... In fact, we always pray that God will show you everything he wants you to do and that you may have all the wisdom and understanding that his Spirit gives. ¹⁰Then you will live a life that honors the Lord, and you will always please him by doing good deeds. You will come to know God even better. ¹¹His glorious power will make you patient and strong enough to endure anything, and you will be truly happy. (CEV)
