Correct Answer
D. Admit to God that he is a sinnerExplanation
What happens when a person is born again? First, a person finds out
that he is a sinner. Only God’s Holy Spirit can make him understand
this. He learns that God is holy and must punish sin. The punishment for
sin is to be shut out from God’s presence forever in a place called hell. This
person admits to God that he is a sinner and that he needs a Savior. He has
learned that God gave His Son, the Lord Jesus Christ, to die in the place
of the sinner. When he asks Christ to be his Savior and Lord, his sins are
forgiven. At that moment he is born again and becomes a child in God’s
familyRate this question:

- B.
God declares the believing sinner righteous in His sight
- C.
There is no such thing as sin
- D.
It is only talked about to make us feel better
Correct Answer
B. God declares the believing sinner righteous in His sightExplanation
God, who is the Judge, declares in a legal sense that there is no
case against the believer in Christ. The penalty for his sin is death
(Rom. 6:23). But Christ died in the place of the believer. His death
paid the penalty for the believer’s sin. On the basis of Christ’s
death, God has forgiven the believing sinner and will never count
his wrongdoing against him (Eph. 1:7 and Rom. 8:1). When God
justifies the believing sinner, he not
only acquits him from the charges
against him, but no longer treats him
as guilty, going as far as clothing him
in Christ’s perfect righteousness and
therefore making him completely fit
for heaven!Rate this question:

Correct Answer
C. Becomes the temple of the Holy SpiritExplanation
The Christian’s body is a home for the Holy Spirit (1 Cor. 6:19).
The Bible teaches that God the Holy Spirit lives within each person
who is born again (1 John 4:13). The body of the Christian is the
temple, or house, in which the Holy Spirit lives. The believer should
be careful what he does, what he says, and where he goes, because
the Holy Spirit lives in himRate this question:

Correct Answer
D. All of the above are trueExplanation
The Christian is a member of the true church. The church is made
up of all true believers in the Lord Jesus Christ (Acts 2:47). There
is no greater honor on earth than to belong to the true church. This
church cannot be seen because it is made up of believers around
the world. This church is described as the “body of Christ” (Col.
1:18). The “body” is on earth; Christ, the “Head of the church,” is
in heaven.Rate this question:

Spirit has chosen to belong to God.Rate this question:

- D.
2 Peter 1:4 - by which have been given to us exceedingly great and precious promises, that through these you may be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.
Correct Answer
C. Colossians 2:10 - and you are complete in Him, who is the head of all principality and power.Explanation
The Christian is complete in Christ (Col. 2:10). To be complete
in Christ means that nothing can be added to make the Christian
more acceptable to God.Rate this question:

- A.
Is given to all men
- B.

- C.

- D.
Is given to a believer at the time he accepts the Lord Jesus as Savior
Correct Answer
D. Is given to a believer at the time he accepts the Lord Jesus as SaviorExplanation
The Christian has received the divine nature (2 Peter 1:4). The
divine nature is God’s nature. Every person receives his human
nature from his father and mother. This is Adam’s sinful nature
passed on to every member of the human race. (See the ECS course,
“What the Bible Teaches”—Chapters 3 & 4). The Christian has
two natures—his human nature received at birth, and his divine
nature received when he was born again.Rate this question:

Knows that God allows the things that happen to him and that these things are for his good
- D.
Can live to please himself because God will forgive him.
Correct Answer
C. Knows that God allows the things that happen to him and that these things are for his goodExplanation
The Christian enjoys knowing that God takes care of him (Rom.
8:28). God knows all that is happening around His people. God only
lets those things happen to believers which are for their good. Some
things bring joy, but trouble and tests also come to teach believers
more of God’s loveRate this question:
