Fear of moral failure is the inability to rest in God’s grace, and it hinders growth, joy, and freedom. Past experiences with humans can negatively impact our ability to rest in God’s grace. When we mess up, often others cast us off. But not Jesus. He opened wide His arms and died in order to draw us close.

Group Discussion Questions:
1. How do you normally respond when you sin? Does your sin normally drive you to God or push you from Him? Why do you think this is?
2. Why does God’s grace annihilate both guilt and self-condemnation?
3. What’s the difference between striving and yielding?
4. Think of some way you tend to sin. (Example, acting prideful, lying, etc.) When attempting to move past that sin, what might striving look like?
5. Again, think of some way you tend to sin. When attempting to move past that sin, what might yielding look like?
6. What are some ways you connect with your power source (Christ)?
