    Study Notes

    Relationship with God

    • Knowing God stems from a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, not through methods or programs.
    • A genuine relationship with Jesus is essential for understanding and fulfilling God's will.
    • God’s will transcends specific locations or vocations; it is broader and interconnected with one's love for Him.
    • The call to serve or take on a vocation is facilitated by being in a loving relationship with God.
    • Biblical individuals uniquely called by God include:
      • Abraham: Father of a nation (Genesis 12:7)
      • Sarah: Mother through marriage (Genesis 17:19)
      • Moses: Political leader (Exodus 3:4-7)
      • Nehemiah: Builder and genealogist with a burden (Nehemiah 2:11-2)
    • God’s calling differs for each individual, highlighting the unique nature of personal journeys with Him.
    • Identifying God’s voice involves understanding His immutable nature and listening via the Holy Spirit through:
      • Scriptures
      • Prayer
      • Life circumstances
      • Community and church
    • Recognizing God's voice is rooted in an intimate love relationship with Him.
    • Eleven principles for discerning God’s voice include:
      • Consistency with Scripture

      • Seeking godly counsel
      • Promoting spiritual growth

    Relationship with Self (Part 1)

    • The deterministic model suggests individuals are products of their environment, while the developmental model promotes individual self-making.
    • Both secular models fail to provide a comprehensive understanding of self-identity.
    • The biblical model emphasizes being created in the "image" of God, distinguishing humanity from all other creatures (Genesis 1:26).
    • The imago Dei concept encompasses moral responsibility, rationality, and the capacity for relationship with God.
    • The fall in Genesis did not erase the imago Dei; it altered its expression but maintained humanity’s intrinsic value (Psalm 8:3-6).
    • Men and women are equally valuable yet have different roles, rooted in distinct masculinity and femininity (Genesis 1:27).
    • Biblical teachings reject male dominance and emphasize equality in dignity and value as image bearers.

      • Humility and a gentle spirit (1 Peter 3:4)
      • Virtue and moral integrity (Proverbs 31:10)
      • Hospitality and care within familial roles (Titus 2:5)

    Relationship with Self (Part 2)

    • Viewing oneself through God's perspective requires acknowledging unique personalities designed by God (Psalm 139:14).
    • Personality tests can aid in understanding but may risk categorization and justification for sinful behavior.

      • Lion: Assertive leaders, competitive, task-oriented.
