How to correct wrong thinking

Step 5 of LifeWay’s Explore the Bible lesson “Do you rebel?” is based on Isaiah 1:18-20. Through Isaiah, the LORD presents a choice to Judah. Eat the best the land has to offer, or be devoured by the sword of an enemy. Argue it out. Reason together. Discuss it. Why did the LORD invite dialogue on what appears to be a “no brainer” choice? The crux to understanding these verses is to grasp the depth of what it means to be a rebel.

A rebellious person is stubborn and not teachable, and caught up in wrongdoing. A rebel, by definition, has already chosen his way and it’s the way of death.

God offers an opportunity for life. Does a rebel hear God’s invitation, but rejects God’s authority? What does a rebel value so much that he chooses death instead of life with God? Does he reject God’s offer because of pride, or wrong thinking? What’s your understanding of a rebel? Can you personally relate to what it really means to be a “rebel”?
