When Jesus writes his word in our heart, it produces obedient faith (John 8)

 This week we studied John 8, previously I had the following insights:

Jesus exposes sin teaching freedom believing his light and truth

AIM: Sin and death is overcome by disciples of Jesus

A) Jesus teaches all have sinned with the woman caught in adultery (John 8:1-11)

B) Jesus teaches about light of life and freedom of obedience to him 

(John 8:12-32)

C) Jesus clarifies slavery to sin, that Abraham rejoiced in God's promise fulfilled in Jesus (John 8:33-59)

Principle: Truth that sets you free progresses from obedient faith

In my BSF discussion group yesterday we talked about Jesus writing on the ground.

John 8:8 (clear word)

Same finger writing judgement in Daniel 5:5-6) "Suddenly, they saw the fingers of a human hand writing on the plaster wall of the king’s palace, near the lampstand. The king himself saw the hand as it wrote, and his face turned pale with fright. His knees knocked together in fear and his legs gave way beneath him."

John 8:31-32 (discipleship)

John 10:9-21, people continue to be divided - either Jesus is the devil or he's God. Read this, what do you think? 

Principle: Truth that sets you free progresses from obedient faith

John 8:42-43 (love)

Do your thoughts and attitude bring you into Love for God? If you love God and seek to do his will you naturally come to Jesus. This is what it means to be drawn to Jesus by his father. 

John 8:47 (belonging)

We get to see the Kingdom of God and know him at the very center of our lives. Our spirit testifies with His Spirit that we are sons and daughters of the most high God.
