Lesson 7
Investment (Part 2)
Taking Ownership of Their Place Within the Church (cont.)
Today’s lesson contains a quick study of Romans 15:1-6. After each biblical example, there are questions to help young people identify their functionality within that area. Please take the time to study and answer these questions for yourself before you study them with your children (or others).
Romans 15:1-6 (NKJV)
We then who are strong ought to bear the weaknesses of the weak, and not to please ourselves. Let each of us please his neighbor for his good, to edification. For even Christ did not please Himself; but as it is written, “The reproaches of those who reproached You fell on Me.” For whatever things were written before were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the Scriptures might have hope. Now may the God of patience and consolation grant you to be like-minded toward one another, according to Christ Jesus, that you may with one mind and one mouth glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.
1. “…bear the weaknesses of the weak….” – In the Greek language, the word for bear is bastazein. It is the same word as is used of Christ bearing the cross. How often do you feel the pain of others and struggle under the load of their burden?
2. “Let each of us please his neighbor for his good, to edification.” – In the Greek language, the word for edification is oikodome. It literally means the things of building up. How effective are you at encouraging others and building them up?
3. “For whatever things were written before were written for our learning…” – In the Greek language, the word for learning is didaskalia. It means teaching or instruction. Fellowship is based upon learning from Scripture and the application it makes in the lives of our family. How effective are you as a learner?
4. “…that we through patience … might have hope.” – In the Greek language, the word for patience is hupomone. This word means far more than patience. Hupomone is the victorious adequacy which can cope with life’s struggles. How spiritually adequate are you? How effectively do you use this inner strength to encourage others?
5. “…that we through … comfort of the Scriptures might have hope.” – In the Greek language, the word for comfort is paraklesis. It literally means to call beside. Consolation often comes by calling to one’s side an aid or comforter. How effective are you at giving consolation?
6. “That we … might have hope.” – In the Greek language, the word for hope is elpis. Biblical hope is not wishful thinking or playing the odds. Biblical hope is confident expectation. Do you confidently expect the blessings of Heaven? How effectively do you use this confident expectation to encourage others?
7. “Now may the God of patience and consolation grant you to be like-minded toward one another…” – In the Greek language, the words for like-minded are auto phroneo. They mean to think or be minded in a common way. Although fellowship does not demand perfect agreement, it does require harmony. There will always be differences of opinion, but those who are within the bonds of Christian fellowship have solved the problems of living together. They are confident that the unity they have in Christ is far greater than any difference that might divide them. How complete is your like-mindedness with fellow Christians?
As Romans 15:1-6 concludes, Paul points out the ultimate result of effective Christian fellowship, “…that you may with one mind and one mouth glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.” The supreme goal of all Christian fellowship is unity in praise of God the Father. Involvement in the various expressions of worship is also a great enticement to investment.
As was stated in the last lesson, there will be a study of several expressions of worship. After each biblical example, there are questions to help young people identify their functionality within that area. Be the teacher described in the poem, “To Be a Great Mentor,” by taking young people to these passages and letting them discover their own function and, thereby, helping them make an investment within the church.
Until then, take the time to answer this lesson’s questions taken from the Bible study of Romans 15:1-6. If a teacher is unable to answer these questions, how can a student be expected to answer them? Be a true mentor and guide young people further down the road of Christianity. Remember, the end goal is not just becoming a Christian (being baptized), it is keeping the faith and becoming more like Christ. *
