Lesson for May 6, 2023
FAITH – A GODLY REQUIREMENT
Scripture Reading: 2 Corinthians 4.
Memory Verse: Hebrews 4:2.
- In order to please God, what must we possess? Hebrews 11:6.
- Where was the first recorded act of faith in a blood atonement made? Hebrews 11:4.
- What act of faith was required on the evening of Passover? Exodus 12:7.
Note. The slaying of the Passover lamb was not enough. It was up to every one to know if the blood had been applied to the door posts of the houses. It is not enough today to know that Christ lived and died, for every individual must avail himself of the sacrifice He made for them.

- Before we shall see the glory of God, what must we do? John 11:40.
Note. Jesus could have spoken the word and the stone would have moved away under divine control, but He chose to use human power as far as possible. His request in (John 11:39), uncovered the lack of faith in the heart of Martha. After human hand had reached its limit (John 11:41), He called on the Father to do what human power could not do; give life to a dead body. Spiritually speaking, God alone can raise us from spiritual death and decay.
- Why did Jesus commend the centurion above the others? Matthew 8:5-10.
- What leads us to believe that Christ will soon return? Luke 18:8.
- Who only will meet God’s full requirements? Revelation 14:12.
