1. Have you ever avoided someone because you weren't sure where you stood with them? (Anyone care to share??) Have you ever done that with God?

2. Have you ever made righteousness your responsibility instead of God's?

3. Have you ever dealt with fear, anxiety, or a lack of confidence? How does understanding righteousness protect our hearts from these things?

4. Do you feel more confident in your relationship with God when your behavior is good? If so, why do you think that is?
