APPLICATION QUESTIONS

1. When Paul spoke in 2 Cor. 5:17 that believers are a new creation he indicated that believers become a part of a new realm, a new world. How does it make you feel that you are not only a new creation but part of a newly created realm?

2. Why do you think eternal life is described as a "Sabbath rest"? How does that make you feel about eternal life?

3. Dr. Pratt mentioned that Christians often disconnect their eternal hope from the creation. In other words we assume we will spend eternity in the spiritual world of heaven. However, the NT teaches that our eternal destiny will be in the new heavens and new earth. How does the NT teaching of a re-created universe affect your view of the world today? How does it make you feel about eternal life?

4. What is the most significant insight you have learned from the study of this whole lesson? Why?
