Bible 3.13 with homework

 

 

 

This weeks homework is  Vocabulary

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]
