Last night we had such an amazing night, gathering all three ACEYA–AZ youth groups together for an amazing Bible study led by Qasha Andrew Aziz, a presentation by the Assyrian American Bar Association and a great fall fellowship. Thank you all for joining us and we can’t wait to see you at more joint events in the future. Please see below a recap of our Bible study from last night.
Bible Study Recap: Marked as God’s Own
The main message of this Bible study is that we belong to God, and our lives should reflect that identity.
Throughout the Bible, God distinguishes those who belong to Him through signs, covenants, and seals. These passages remind us that God knows His people and calls them to remain faithful to Him, even when the world encourages them to live differently.
Because we belong to Christ, we are called to flee from sin, not to earn God’s love, but because He has already called us into a relationship with Him. Our bodies, choices, and actions should honor God.
Key lessons to remember
* Remember who you belong to
* Do not normalize sin
* Honor God with your body
* Resist peer pressure
* Flee from temptation
* Take practical steps
The main takeaway: We do not pursue holiness to earn God’s love. We pursue holiness because we belong to Him. Our lives should increasingly reflect Christ in our thoughts, decisions, and actions.
