Devotional: Luke 3:1-9

Today’s passage: Luke 3:1-9

Helpful thoughts:

  • John the Baptist was making straight what man had made crooked:
    • The Jews were not “good to go” with God simply because of their genetics.
    • Followers of God follow God.  Repentance was necessary.
    • God is just.  The children of Abraham by blood who are not the children of Abraham by faith will not escape judgment.

Questions to consider:

  1. Why is repentance a necessary component of conversion?  What happens when a person is saved? (2 Corinthians 5:17, Ephesians 2:8-10)
  2. In what way did John the Baptist “prepare the way of the Lord”?  What did John make straight?  What was becoming apparent through his teaching?
  3. How might we fall into this same trap/false doctrine today?  How does anyone become a child of God?
