Renewal in Christ: Athanasius on the Christian Life

Discussion Questions

Athanasius says the greatest proof of the resurrection is Christ’s work in our lives today. Where do you see evidence of the resurrected Jesus in your life and in the lives of others? When Jesus died on the cross, how did most people at the time view what was happening? How did the resurrection change the believers’ perspective about the cross?

Have you thought much about death? Are you afraid of dying? How does the resurrection of Jesus give us confidence even in the face of death?

The apostle Paul says, “I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me” (Gal 2:20). How could this truth transform the way you live this week? Did you know that the church gathers on Sunday because that is the day Jesus rose from the grave? Why is gathering with the church every Sunday so important? How can it shape your heart and your character over time?
