Error Confusion
• “We are offspring of Abraham” is not a good solution– I am exempt from these issues– I am not enslaved by any people or things– I do not understand your terms

Truth Clarity
• If you think that being related to Abraham will save you, you are dangerously wrong– While I try to help you, you are trying to kill me– You do not understand your problem– Your problem is a hereditary genetic flaw
• Your case has been discussed, it’s known fully • You are trapped in a deadly pattern of sin

Error Resistance
• “Abraham is our father” is not a good solution– We are clean from any inherited disease– We are following carefully all of the man-made
rules passed down from generation to generation– We do not have a problem

Truth Accuracy
• Disciples act like their Master Teacher– While I try to help you, you are trying to kill me– You are not listening to diagnostic truth– Your problem is with God
• Your actions speak louder than your profession

Error Accusation
• At least we have a legitimate father!– You have no right to lecture us on sin– I am not responsible to your standards
• God is our only Father.

Exam 3: As Jesus evaluates hearts with His light,
Do I understand discipleship?Am I obeying truth without
conditions or excuses?

As Jesus evaluates hearts with His light, Are you “true”, abiding in the Word?Are you “free”, forgiven and fleeing
from sin?Are you “active and healthy”, doing His will with strength and determination?
