but relationship.
The following questions help us
to make what we learned personal.
π 2. Reflection β What impacted you the most?
Which attribute of God changed your understanding the most?
π Possible answer:
Many will say: Godβs love β because it shows that God actively seeks us.
Others perhaps: His holiness β because it shows how different and perfect He is.
Or: His closeness (Immanuel) β that God is truly with us.
π Important:
The attribute that touches you most often shows
where God is currently working in your life.
