According to the textbook, what does "redemption" mean? The purchase of something or someone out of bondage by a greater party; the action of Jesus redeeming or buying people back from the bondage of sin by paying the penalty for sin through his death and resurrection in order to set them free from sin for relationship with him.
Read Philippians 2:5-8 and briefly describe the direction Jesus's life took. Unselfish and humble. When he became a mortal, he was a servant. 3. Read John 1:1-3. What other familiar passage in Scripture does this remind you of? I think of Genesis Chapter 1 when creation was being discussed.
In what ways does the textbook say that Jesus is similar to Moses and David? The Israelites wanted a leader like Moses who would lead them out of the bondage of the Roman Empire. They also wanted a king like David who would establish the temple and reestablish the power of Israel.
Describe from the textbook the idea of "substitutionary atonement" (Rom. 4:25; 1 Cor. 15:3 ). Jesus died on the cross in place of sinners in order to pay the penalty for their sin and to free them from God's judgment and reconcile them to God. Jesus's death was the means of propitiation by which God's righteous judgment against human sin was averted, freeing people from divine condemnation and reconciling them to God. Jesus's righteousness qualified him to serve as a substitutionary sacrifice for people on the cross. Jesus’s righteousness qualified him to be our representative and substitute.
Briefly list the titles of Jesus as named in the textbook. Jesus, Christ, Son of Man, Last Adam, Son of God, God, Lord, and Immanuel
How did Jesus show his faithfulness as described in the textbook? Despite their failure to grasp his identity and mission fully, he protected them from giving themselves over to sin. Jesus also kept his promises to them, not least of which was his promise to rise from the dead on the third day and to give his disciples the Holy Spirit after his ascension to heaven.
How is Jesus described in Hebrews 1:1-2 and John 1:1? In those passages Jesus is depicted as God. He is the second part of the trinity.
In the overview, Jesus is described as fully God and fully man; now briefly describe the Trinity and Jesus's position in the Trinity. Godhead – God the Father, God the son, and God the Holy Spirit. They are three spate persons, but the same essence, one God. He has

two natures: divine and human. All that is true of the divine nature is true of Jesus because he possesses the divine nature fully. And all that is true of human nature is true of Jesus because he possesses a human nature fully. Jesus is sinless, he is a perfect example for living. Because Jesus is sinless, he could uniquely offer himself for the atonement of sin. His sinlessness means that Jesus could choose to take the penalty of God's righteous judgment against human sin. If Jesus were not fully God, he never could have fully atoned for the sins of others. If he were not fully human, he never could have died to redeem humans from their sin. 10. Briefly describe the Kingdom of God as taught in the textbook. The Kingdom of God described a world where sin and death had finally been dealt with in full, so that the breached relationship between God and humanity due to sin would be mended and made whole in a new and everlasting Garden of Eden, ultimately pictured as a beautiful and peaceful city called the New Heavens and New Earth. 11. Briefly describe the unique mission of Jesus as presented in the textbook. Jesus can so that the world might be saved through him. Redemption was achieved by Jesus living a righteous life, atoning death, life giving resurrection, and ascension. 12. Briefly summarize the context and story of the parable of the Good Samaritan in Luke 10:29-37. A man was brutally attacked and striped of his wealth and clothing. A priest and a Levite crossed the road and did not help him. A good Samaritan stopped and bandaged the man, placed the man on his own animal, and took him to an inn while paying for his care. Jesus was trying to show that we need to show compassion for our fellow man. 13. According to the overview, what is the atonement, and where in the Old Testament is this referred to in prophecy seven times? Atonement is the reconciliation of humanity with God through the suffering and sacrificial death of Christ. It is stated 7 times in Isaiah 53. 14. What does the incarnation refer to? The incarnation is the second Person of the Trinity's act of taking on a human nature which is like our human nature in all ways, yet without sin. 15. According to the overview, what three reasons are stated in Scripture for why God became a man in the person of Jesus Christ? Incarnation, Atonement, and Resurrection. 16. Explain the importance of the resurrection of Jesus as described by the Apostle Paul in 1 Corinthians 15:17. If Jesus was not resurrected then we have not been forgiven of our sins meaning that we will not go to the kingdom of God.
