Magnetic group

Trey Turner commenting on this lesson “Concern of God” from Romans 11 challenges believers to adopt a sympathetic view of people who have not accepted the gospel. Why? Because that “patient attitude” is the concern of God. God’s favor is based on God’s love. He challenges Christians to win people by loving them to Christ rather than judging them from a distance. Unbelievers might be saved thru jealously when they see what God is doing in the lives of Christians. He asks us to find ways become a magnet for Christ and build bridges to specific unbelievers.

As an illustration, take a few magnets to class and demonstrate their attraction. Demonstrate how the same magnet can also repel. Pass them around and let people play with them. Make the points of Trey Turner as a summary to the close the lesson.
