5.5. Let’s Personalize this Lesson…

Activity: If you are married, set up a convenient time for your family members, and teach
them the pre-existence, eternality, and immutability of God (also of Jesus Christ) using the
passages we have looked at in this section. Then, one week from the day of teaching, ask
them what they can remember on those three attributes. If you are not married, teach
them to your brothers and sisters in Christ at church or to your friends at home/at work.
