DEEP SHEET: Sermon Study
1.   How does this passage fit into Paul’s overall message in chapters 1-4?
2.   To use Hodge’s language, how is Abraham a “representative person”? Discuss how vv. 23-24 relate to passages like Romans 15:4 and 1 Corinthians 10:11.
3.   How is the content of our faith the same as Abraham’s? How does it differ?
4.   How does this passage contribute to your understanding of the gospel? What does it teach us about the role of the Father and of the Son in saving us?
5.   What does it mean that Christ “was raised for our justification”? How does this increase your gratitude for him?
