How can one attempt to pass on living righteously to future generations?
DIGGING DEEPER INTO SCRIPTURE
1. (Genesis 23:3-4) After
grieving over Sarah’s death, why did
Abraham approach the Hitites about
purchasing land?
2. How does Genesis 17:8 provide a
basis for this attempted purchase?
On whom did Abraham hope?
3. (Genesis 23:6) How did the
Hitites demonstrate absolute
respect towards Abraham?
4. What did Abraham need to do
in this covenant relationship with
God, in order to pass it on to his
descendants?
5. Abraham paid the price, gained
title to the land, and buried Sarah
in Hebron. How did this effect
his future generations? (Genesis
23:19-20)
LIVE IT! APPLY IT!
1. In our culture, many things
attempt to demand our attention.
On what, should we truly focus?
2. How do your actions demonstrate
to others where your hope actually
lies? How can you make
adjustments to what you
emphasize?
3. What impacts have you noticed
in your descendants from your living
life before them? If they are
following your lead, does it lead
them to righteous decisions?
FOR THE
JOURNEY
Edward Mote c. 1834
“My hope is built on
nothing less
Than Jesus’ blood and
righteousness;
I dare not trust the
sweetest frame,
But wholly lean on
Jesus’ name.
On Christ the solid rock
I stand;
All other ground is
sinking sand.”
FOCUS VERSE
ROMANS 4:18
Against all hope,
Abraham in hope,
believed and so became
the father of many
nations, just as it had
been said to him, “so shall
your offspring be.”
4, How have you attempted to
foster the “next generation” into a
relationship with Jesus, God and the
Holy Spirit?
5. What promises has God given
you about your “next generations”?
What part does faith, and trust in
God play?
