Day Four- Lecture Flashcards
(15 cards)
Human depravity
reminds us that the problem is not simply something “out there” but something that is part and parcel to each of us
everything is touched by badness but not everything is completely bad
total depravity
evil runs through and contaminates all of creation as the consequences of original sin and continues to expand, not just humanity that evil impacts
Common Grace
particular gift for a particular person for a universal blessing, God distributes gifts of wisdom, talent, and beauty, to humanity in a completely unmerited way in order to bless and sustain the world
What does common grace show us
that God is presently working and redeeming but also looks to hope to the day it fully comes
Why do we need redemption
sin leads to death and breakdown of shalom and flourishing
protoeuangellion
the “first gospel”, God’s intent to redeem
Messiah (Hebrew)
Christos (Greek)
anointed one
Atonement
used to refer to Christ’s saving work
at-one-ment (made one with God when we were at first far apart)
Different views of atonement
- Ransom to Satan Theory
the ransom Christ paid to save us was paid to Satan because all sinners belong to him
Different views of atonement
- Moral Influence Theory
Christ’s death was not a payment for sin, but a way God shows humans how much He loved them by identifying with their sufferings
Different views of atonement
- The Example Theory
Christ’s death simply provides us with an example of how we should trust God
Different views of atonement
- Governmental Theory
God did not have to require payment for our sins. Christ’s death shows us law was broken and thus a penalty needed paid
Different views of atonement
- Penal Substitutionary Theory
-Jesus as the faithful high priest
-Jesus as the first goat
-Jesus as the second goat
Leviticus 16: The Day of Atonement
high priest performed sacrifices for himself and the people to make a place for God to dwell with us
Jesus is the substitutionary death that fulfills this
Pentecost
glory of God descends on His people (Jesus’s death did what the Day of Atonement dis so now God can dwell with us)
