The Ultimate End of Evil Religion - Luke 22:1-23

1. Discuss the ways that Satan uses religion to keep people in his domain of darkness. How has Satan used false religion in your personal life?

2. As we looked a Judas, we know that he betrayed Jesus because he was not regenerated in his heart. Why is it important to emphasize that salvation is a matter of God’s mighty power, not the result of a human decision?

33. Over the years, I have heard the Gospel presented in various ways that dimming the power of God and make salvation seem like Jesus will simply make everything better. When presenting the Gospel, is it wrong to tell people of all that Christ can do for them? Why/why not?

4. Greed was one factor in Judas’ fall. How can we detect greed in ourselves and fight against it?

5. The ultimate end of evil religion is death. Hypocritical and corrupt religion is one o of the most deceptive ways that Satan keeps people in darkness. How can just going through the motions of being a disciple of Christ lead us into a life of false religion? How do we make sure that our heart is engaged not just our hands?

6. Leonard Ravenhill said, “Jesus did not come into the world to make bad men good. He came into the world to make dead men live! Discuss this statement and pray for one another to not be taken captive by false, evil, religion.
