A.

Condemned
B.

Forgiven
C.

Justification is not based on our own actions or merits, but on the grace and mercy of God through faith in Jesus Christ. This term emphasizes the righteousness and acceptance that believers receive through Christ's sacrifice on the cross.

The believer

A.

Has all sin eradicated from his being the moment he is saved
B.

Can develop to the point where he enjoys, even in a sinful world, actual sinless perfection in daily living
C.

Has two natures—the fallen nature with which he was born and the divine nature received when he was born again
D.

Is eternally wedded to his old nature although he will experience unbroken victory over it when he gets to heaven

Correct Answer
C. Has two natures—the fallen nature with which he was born and the divine nature received when he was born again

Explanation
The correct answer is that the believer has two natures - the fallen nature with which he was born and the divine nature received when he was born again. This means that even though a believer is saved and has their sins eradicated, they still have their old fallen nature within them. However, they also have a new divine nature that they receive through their rebirth in Christ. This dual nature creates a constant struggle within the believer, as they strive to live according to their new nature while still dealing with the temptations and tendencies of their old nature. This struggle will continue until they reach heaven, where they will experience unbroken victory over their old nature.

Adam's sin

A.

Concerned himself only
B.

Affected only his immediate posterity
C.

Being charged by God against the whole human race absolves us of responsibility for personal sin
D.

Affected the entire human race because the race was “in Adam” when he sinned

Correct Answer
D. Affected the entire human race because the race was “in Adam” when he sinned

Explanation
Adam's sin affected the entire human race because the race was "in Adam" when he sinned. This means that when Adam sinned, all of humanity was considered to be in him, and therefore, his sin had consequences for all of humanity. This explanation suggests that Adam's sin had a collective impact on the entire human race, rather than just on his immediate descendants. It implies that we are all affected by Adam's sin and bear some responsibility for it, even though we did not personally commit the sin.

God’s remedy for imputed sin is

A.

The righteousness of Christ which is put to the credit of the believer
B.

The ultimate universal restoration of the entire human race
C.

To accept human good works as a natural means of cancelling that sin
D.

To charge that sin to the devil

Correct Answer
A. The righteousness of Christ which is put to the credit of the believer

Explanation
The correct answer is the righteousness of Christ which is put to the credit of the believer. This means that when a person believes in Christ, His righteousness is imputed or credited to them, covering their sins and making them righteous in God's sight. This is God's remedy for imputed sin, as it is through Christ's sacrifice and righteousness that believers are forgiven and made righteous before God.

Submit ourselves to God and to resist the devil
D.

Correct Answer

By submitting to God, we seek His guidance and strength to overcome the devil's schemes. Resisting the devil involves standing firm in our faith, rejecting his lies, and relying on God's power to overcome evil. This approach recognizes the need for both surrendering to God and actively resisting the devil in order to experience God's provision and protection.
