Define the following words
1.
Atonement -Biblical doctrine
that God has reconciled sinners to Himself through the sacrificial work of
Jesus Christ. The concept of atonement spans both Testaments, everywhere
pointing to the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus for the sins of the
world.------ In Christian
thought, the act by which God and man are brought together in personal
relationship. The term is derived from Anglo-Saxon words meaning “making at
one,” hence “at-one-ment.” It presupposes a separation or alienation that needs
to be overcome if human beings are to know God and have fellowship with him. As
a term expressing relationship, atonement is tied closely to such terms as
reconciliation and forgiveness[1]
2.
Christ -Christ—anointed, the
Greek translation of the Hebrew word rendered “Messiah” (q.v.), the official
title of our Lord, occurring five hundred and fourteen times in the New
Testament. It denotes that he was anointed or consecrated to his great
redemptive work as Prophet, Priest, and King of his people. He is Jesus the
Christ[2]--CHRIST,
CHRISTOLOGY “Christ” is English for the Greek Christos, “anointed one.” The Hebrew word is Mashiach, Messiah. Christology p 285 is a compound of the Greek words Christos and logos (word, speech). Christology is the study of the person (who
He is) and work (what He did/does) of Jesus Christ, the Son of God.[3]
3.
Messiah -MESSIAH (Mĕs sīʹ
ah) Transliteration of Hebrew word meaning “anointed one” that was translated
into Greek as Christos. “Christ” or
Messiah is therefore a name admirably suited to express both the church’s link
with Israel through the OT and the faith that sees in Jesus Christ the
worldwide scope of the salvation in Him.[4]
4.
Resurrection - Resurrection. Act
of being raised from the dead, used in the Bible with three different meanings.
It refers to miraculous raisings of the dead back to earthly life, such as when
Elijah raised a boy (1 Kgs 17:8–24); Elisha raised the Shunammite’s son (2 Kgs
4:18–37); Jesus raised both Jairus’ daughter (Mk 5:35–43) and Lazarus (Jn
11:17–44); Peter raised Dorcas (Acts 9:36–42); and Paul raised Eutychus (Acts
20:9–12). There is no hint that these resuscitations would prevent future
death. It also refers to the eschatological resurrection at the end of time for
punishment or reward (Jn 5:29; cf. Rv 20:5, 6). Finally, resurrection refers
frequently to the resurrection of Jesus Christ.[5]
5.
Repentance - Repentance—There are three
Greek words used in the New Testament to denote repentance. (1.) The verb metamelomai is used of a change of mind,
such as to produce regret or even remorse on account of sin, but not
necessarily a change of heart. This word is used with reference to the
repentance of Judas (Matt. 27:3).
(2.) Metanoeo,
meaning to change one’s mind and purpose, as the result of after knowledge.
This verb, with (3.) the cognate noun metanoia,
is used of true repentance, a change of mind and purpose and life, to which
remission of sin is promised.[6]----------- REPENTANCE Change of mind; also can refer to regret or
remorse accompanying a p 1376
realization
that wrong has been done or to any shift or reversal of thought. In its
biblical sense repentance refers to a deeply seated and thorough turning from
self to God. It occurs when a radical turning to God takes place, an experience
in which God is recognized as the most important fact of one’s existence.
6.
Forgiveness - Forgiveness.
Ceasing to feel resentment for wrongs and offenses; pardon, involving
restoration of broken relationships. Primarily, forgiveness is an act of God,
releasing sinners from judgment and freeing them from the divine penalty of
their sin. Since only God is holy, only God can forgive sin (Mk 2:7; Lk 5:21).
Forgiveness is also a human act toward one’s neighbor, given new incentive and
emphasis in the NT because of God’s forgiveness in the death of Christ. Hence
forgiveness is a uniquely Christian doctrine.
In other
religions, forgiveness does not have the same force[7]
7.
Remission REMISSION Release,
forgiveness. RSV used “remission” only in the sense of refraining from exacting
a tax (Esther 2:18). Other modern translations avoided the term. KJV frequently
used the expression, “remission of sins,” to mean release from the guilt or
penalty of sins. Modern translations generally substitute the term
“forgiveness.” With the exception of Rom. 3:25, the underlying Greek term is aphesis. Remission of sins is often
linked with repentance, both in the preaching of John the Baptist (Mark 1:4;
Luke 3:3) and the early church (Luke 24:47; Acts 2:38; 5:31). Remission of sins
results from Christ’s sacrificial death[8]
8.
Sanctification - SANCTIFICATION
Process of being made holy resulting in a changed lifestyle for the believer.
The English word “sanctification” comes from the Latin sanctificatio, meaning the act or process of making holy,
consecrated. In the Greek NT the root hag-
is the basis of hagiasmos,
“holiness,” “consecration,” “sanctification”; hagiosune, “holiness”; hagiotes,
“holiness”; hagiazo, “to sanctify,”
“consecrate,” “treat as holy,” “purify”; and hagios, “holy,” “saint.”[9]----------- Sanctification. Term meaning being made holy, or
purified, it is used broadly of the whole Christian experience, though most
theologians prefer to use it in a restricted sense to distinguish it from
related terms, such as regeneration, justification, and glorification.[10]
9.
Justification - JUSTIFICATION
Divine, forensic act of God, based on the work of Christ upon the cross,
whereby a sinner is pronounced righteous by the imputation of the righteousness
of Christ. The doctrine of justification is developed most fully by the Apostle
Paul as the central truth explaining how both Jew and Gentile can be made right
before God on the exact same basis, that being faith in Jesus Christ. Without
this divine truth, there can be no unity in the body of Christ, hence its
centrality to Paul’s theology of the Church and salvation.[11]
10. Holy- dedicated to God or a religious purpose.[12]
11. Grace- Undeserved acceptance and love received
from another. Although the biblical words for “grace” are used in a variety of
ways, the most characteristic use is to refer to an undeserved favor granted by
a superior to an inferior. When used of divine grace toward mankind, it refers
to the undeserved favor of God in providing salvation for those deserving
condemnation. In the more specific Christian sense it speaks of the saving
activity of God which is manifested in the gift of His Son to die in the place
of sinners.[13]
12. Kingdom of God Kingdom OF GOD Concept of God’s kingly or
sovereign rule, encompassing both the realm over which rule is exerted (Matt.
4:8; 24:7; Mark 6:23; Luke 4:5; Rev. 16:10) and the exercise of authority to
reign (Luke 19:12; Rev. 17:12, 17–18). The kingdom of God is significant in the
nation of Israel, the proclamation of the gospel, and presence of the church.
The idea is a point of integration for both Testaments.[14]
