Notes
Study Questions 1. Why did Jesus come into the world? What Scripture can you think of to support your answer? For Him to save the world (John 3:17) to condemn sin in the flesh (Rom 8:3) to fulfill the righteous requirement of the law (Rom 8:4) to disrupt relationships for His kingdom (Matt 10:34-39) to bring His people to God (1 Peter 3:18) 2. Read Romans 15:8–9 . What reasons does Romans 15:8–9 give for Christ coming to earth as a servant? to show God's truthfulness to the Jews (Rom 15:8) to confirm promises made to patriarchs (Rom 15:8) for Gentiles to glorify God for His mercy (Rom 15:9) 3. What is the highest reason why Jesus came to earth given in Romans 15:9 , God’s glory or his merciful love towards sinners? Does it matter which one is higher? For God's glory as seen in His merciful love towards sinners It does matter which one is higher, because we could diminish God's glory otherwise, and place mercy above His glory ironically giving us a lesser God and lesser means of our ultimate purpose of life
