7/7 - Have you ever asked or been asked a rhetorical question? Its a type of question where no answer is really expected or required. It is a literary device used to state the obvious. For instance, if it is 125 degrees outside and someone asks - Sure is hot, isnt it? Rhetorical questions are a good way to emphasize an evident fact or truth. Gods Word uses rhetorical questions on several occasions. One of those such questions, addressed to Christ followers, is found in Romans 6:1-2 What shall we say then? Are we to continue in sin so that grace may increase? 2 May it never be! How shall we who died to sin still live in it? - Its a good question. As Christ followers, what is our answer? More than an actual verbal answer, though, what is our life response? God demands we not only be hearers, but also doers of His word! (James 1:22)
