The Text In Context

"... the idea to make a covenant here is literally 'to cut' a covenant. Genesis 15:9-11 is an example of an ancient covenant that was made by cutting sacrificial animals in half (normally, at the spine) and the two parties reciting the terms of the covenant as they stood or walked between the animal parts.

Growth Group / Personal Reflection Questions

1. How has God's wrath been presented to you in the past? What beliefs do you hold about God's wrath?

2. What does Deuteronomy 29 teach you about God's wrath that you may not have noticed before?

3. How do you balance God's wrath and God's love? Do you feel the need to balance the two? If so, why? If not, why not?

4. How can focusing on God's wrath be a detriment to proclaiming the gospel of Jesus Christ?

5. Verse 29 speaks of God's "secret things" and the "revealed things". How do you balance accepting what you don’t understand about God’s ways while faithfully obeying what has been revealed to us?

6. When have you had to trust God without all the answers?

7. What helps you stay grounded in God's character and promises?
