JUSTIFICATION AND NEW LIFE IN CHRIST

Man is justified by

• observance of the law

• hope in salvation

• faith in God

• faith in Jesus Christ

The purpose of the law

• was to act as a custodian

• is to save man from his sins

• was to bring Jesus from the grave

• was to establish the covenant of Abraham

Paul in his teaching mentioned that all those that under the law

• under grace

• are persecuted

• are under a curse

• are in a covenant of promise

Abraham's obedience to God's word was credited to him as

• a good behaviour

• humility

• righteousness

• faith in God

Law does all of the following except

• bring an awareness of sin

• bring about wrath

• promotes curses

• give salvation to man

When we die in Christ, we

• die to sin

• become aware of our sinful nature

• resurrect in the body

• become vulnerable to the devil's manipulations

An old life is characterized by

• compassion

• lowliness

• kindness

• malice

In his letter to the Colossians on the topic, New Life in Christ, Paul advised the Christians to

• obey constituted authoriites

• humble themselves before the Lord so that he can exalt them

• look for the things above and not the things that are on earth

• welcome Gentiles into their midst

What did Paul mean by this statement in his letter to the Romans? 'Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal bodies, to make you obey their passions'.

• We should live a life of fasting and prayers

• We should do away with sin so it does not corrupt us

• We should try as much as possible to live in heaven

• We should isolate ourselves from people
