1. Jesus makes another startling claim in verses 31-32. Those who hear Jesus' claim interrupt him to say that they are already free. What analysis does Jesus give of their "freedom" (vv. 34-36)?
2. Jesus' opponents also claim to have both Abraham and God as their father. According to Jesus, how does their conduct contradict their claim (vv. 39-47)?
3. Why is our conduct a valid test of our beliefs?

1. That a slave does not have a permanent place in a family like a Son does. A son belongs to a family forever, a slave only for a time.
2. He said if they were Abraham's children they would follow him and not want to put Jesus to death.
3. "Actions speak louder than words". What we live and how we act is a reflection of what is in our hearts and what we believe.
1.They were not truly free,but were bound by their sin and could not be free unless Christ freed them.In the same fashion,slaves were not free unless freed by their masters.
2.He said if they really believed God to be their father, they would believe in Jesus, and not try to murder Him.
3.How we act reflects not only our own hearts, but those who we follow.If we truly follow after God,we would live like He wants us to live.If what we say and how we act are totally different,how can we be a true testimony to unbelievers?

that their freedom is not true freedom. the freedom that Jesus is talkin about is the freedom of sin.
2. Jesus' opponents also claim to have both Abraham and God as their father. According to Jesus, how does their conduct contradict their claim (vv. 39-47)?
Because if theyre father was Abraham they would do as he would and love Jesus, and if theyre father was God they would be able to listen and understand Jesus's words. But they cannont understand and they do not do.

1. The analogy is that of a family. A son is permanent but a slave is not a permanent part of a family.
2.If they were descendant of Abraham they would do as he. They were wanting to kill Christ therefore they weren't acting as their father (Abraham). IF they wre descendants of Christ they would do as He daid.

Its the only way for other people to see Gods light shine through us, and if we act a lot different than we do at church, than other people will think we are just like the world.

He tells them that they are enslaved to their sin. However, once they place their faith in the Son, then the Son will make them free.
2. Jesus' opponents also claim to have both Abraham and God as their father. According to Jesus, how does their conduct contradict their claim (vv. 39-47)?
If they really cared about following Abraham or God, then they would not want to kill Jesus or ignore the things He has to say. The fact that they do not believe the truth He presents is proof that they are not "of God" or "of Abraham."
3. Why is our conduct a valid test of our beliefs?
Because we only act upon what we believe to be true. If our overall conduct is contrary to the things we say, then what we say is not the truth.
1. When we are living in sin, we are in bondage to it...and those who live in bondage don't live in the house like the children of the master do.
2. Jesus said that if they were really children of Abraham spiritually, then they would believe Him, as Abraham did (He looked for a Savior to come), and would not try to kill Him (Abraham did everything he could to enable to Savior to come one day).
3. Our actions are determined by what we believe. If we truly believe God is true, then we will obey what He says, knowing it is the best course of action.
1.that everyone sins not just one person
2.they did not want to kill jesus
3.that we do belive in jesus and you know it
that everybody is not to slave for sin.
2. I think that you can not have alot of fathers becuse god is the only.
3.If it's not you people don't see howyou are.
