1	WHAT DOES GOD REQUIRE OF US? DEUT. 10:12
2	WHAT DOES GOD REQUIRE OF US? IT IS GOD WHO REQUIRES IT OF US. TO REQUIRE MEANS “TO DEMAND, TO ASK, TO INQUIRE”. IN THIS CONTEXT, GOD IS GIVING ISRAEL INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW TO LIVE SO THEY CAN PLEASE HIM.
3	WHAT IS REQUIRED? TO FEAR THE LORD GOD (ECC. 12:13; ROM. 1:21-25) TO WALK IN ALL HIS WAYS (MATT. 7:21; 1 JN. 1:7) TO LOVE HIM (1 JN. 5:3; 4:20,21; JN. 14:15) TO SERVE THE LORD WITH ALL OUR BEING (MATT. 4:10; MATT. 22:37-39; ACTS 21:13) TO KEEP THE COMMANDMENTS OF THE LORD (1 COR. 9:27; JN. 12:48; HEB. 10:36)
4	TITUS 2:11-15 GRACE HAS BEEN GIVEN TO US. IT TEACHES US SOMETHING. WE ARE TO DENY UNGODLINESS AND WORLDLY LUSTS. WE ARE TO LIVE SOBERLY, RIGHTEOUSLY, AND GODLY IN THIS PRESENT WORLD. WE ARE TO LOOK FOR THE COMING OF JESUS. WE ARE TO BE A PEOPLE ZEALOUS OF GOOD WORKS – A PECULIAR PEOPLE.
5	SOME QUESTIONS TO CONSIDER HOW MANY OF GOD’S LAWS CAN WE BREAK AND BE WELL-PLEASING TO GOD? CAN WE SAY WE ARE SERVING GOD WHEN WE SERVE HIM AT OUR CONVENIENCE? DO WE LOVE GOD IF FAIL TO OBEY HIS COMMANDMENTS? CAN A CHRISTIAN TAKE PART IN THE THINGS OF THE WORLD?
