Questions for chapters 3-5

BELIEVING THE FACTS

How and why did peace Finlay come to Katy?

The following verses are just a few examples of the kind of verses Katy needed to copy in her journal...to meditate on, and memorize. In developing this discipline, she would have the tool she needed to combat the enemy when he whispered his lie into her ear that she could never be good enough to be accepted 54:10d. Look up these verse and notice the prevailing theme of them all. What does each one say about God's love?

Isaiah 54:10
Romans 5:8
Romans 8:38-39

RESPONDING TO THE FACTS

What evidence of a changed life emerges almost immediately in Katy's behavior when she begins to believe the FACT that she is "accepted in the beloved"? (Ephesians 1:6)

Read the following verses and note several responses to God's love that are to be evident in His children.

Psalm 89:1-2
Psalm 107:21
John 13:34-35
John 15:8-10
1 John 3:16-18

TRUSTWORTHINESS IN SMALL MATTERS
Katy does not see the change that occurs in her once she accepts the fact that God loves her, and after several acts of kindness, she remarks, "But I could not think of anything to do for God. I wish I could." Later Mrs. Cabot helps her change her perspective on her desire to "preform some truly noble, self-sacrificing acts." What is her advice to Katy? How does Mrs Cabot recognize the truth of the parable in Luke 19:11-26?
