Q

What is the tension between God’s providential government and humanity’s free will?

A
  • It can seem to some that God is simply carrying out what He has decreed in eternity, then people have no part in the process of salvation.

24
Q

God intends for his rule to be a benevolent expression, and He wants people to

A

experience good in life

25
If we disobey God's authorities
we are rebelling against God
26
Obey human rulers unless they require us to do something that
God forbids
27
Mighty acts of God emphasize
His unique character and set him apart from all else
28
Acts in which God intervenes in the processes of nature in the world through His immediate power are
miracles
29
signs, wonders, power and work represent
supernatural acts of Jesus that demonstrate his - deity messiahship - concern for human need
30
God's Word challenges believers to discern whether supernatural occurrences are
divine or demonic
31
From the account of the man who was blind from birth, we learn
1. people often associate sickness and disability with one's person sin 2. God works out His purpose through sickness and disability 3. ultimate purpose of miracles is to bring God glory
32
Worship Test for sign and wonder
1. if the sign or wonder of which he has spoken takes place and he says let us follow other gods - does not pass 2. if its not centered in the worship of God, it's not of God
33
The fulfillment of prophecy test
if what the prophet proclaims in the name of the lord does not take place - does not pass
34
the Doctrinal test
every spirit that acknowledges that Jesus has come in the flesh is from God
35
Compare and contrast divine miracles with those that are counterfeit
Divine miracles bring glory to God and contribute to his work on earth - they lead one to worship and obey - counterfeit miracles do not lead one to worship, honor or live according to his commands or acknowledge the humanity of Christ - Instead, they lead one away from God
36
Describe divine providence and people free will in the work of salvation
- salvation is totally God's provision - However, it clearly points to a role for people as well - Although people role is not comparable with God's, it is absolutely necessary - God offers the gift of eternal life but people must accept it - God does everything possible to exert powerful and positive influences on them, but they must exercise their freedom and appropriate his offer
37
In view of divine providence, explain the place of prayer
- God tells us to so its divine rule - powerful and effective when we are obedient - pray according to his will and purpose - he may choose to give us what we ask or deny - we pray we show our love and obedience in him - our trust grows progressivly stronger - this helps us develop spiritual stature and true Christian maturity
38
Definition of angel
messenger | - ministering spirits who are sent to serve those who will inherit salvation
39
When did God create angels
- God created them immediately out of nothing when he began His creative acts - God created them before He created people
40
Resurrected people will
neither marry nor die
41
In contrasting angels from resurrected human beings
1. angels and glorified humans are distinct groups 2. redeemed peoples names are written in heaven 3. angels are spirit beings without bodies 4. resurrected people will have bodies
42
Angels desire to understand
the Good news of salvation and this implies they have intelligence
43
Angels express emotion or feelings through
the worship and praise they render to God, as well as through the joy they manifested at creation
44
Angels illustrate the exercise of will best through
their decision to abandon their God-given positions
45
Describe the characteristics of personality that angels express that lead us to refer to them as personal beings
Angels demonstrate intellect through their inquiring minds, emotion through the joy they showed at creation, and will through the exercise of free will in their decision to leave their position.
46
Paul's statement that "our struggle is not against flesh and blood" indicates that spirit beings
do not have physical bodies
47
On occasion God grants angels a temporary bodily form so they can
appear to people and communicate with them
48
The power that angels exercise is solely what
God has delegated them to do
49
1. Members have no federal head; so each member is entirely responsible to God for his actions 2. Members neither reproduce nor do they grow old and dies, their number never increases or decreases
Company - which are angels
50
1. Members transmit certain traits from one generation to the next 2. Based on clear biblical evidence, members share in the consequences that resulted from the fall of their federal head
Race
51
Of the knowledge of angels, we can most accurately say
1. that it is limited in the areas of people's redemption and the second coming 2. Superior to people but inferior to God
52
Describe the knowledge of angels
- angels are great in wisdom since they serve in God's presence - They do not know the mystery of God's grace revealed in the plan of salvation nor do they know the time of Christ's return. They have greater knowledge than people but are not omniscient
53
Even though the power of angels is greater than that of people but it is
limited
54
Rolling away the stone from Christ's tomb and releasing apostles from secure prisons provide valid
evidence of angels' great power
55
Angels act as
- instruments of God's judgement - deliver those who are in distress - engage in warfare with opposing spiritual forces
56
The word angel in the Bible can refer to
1. both human and divine messengers 2. deity on occasion, as well as to holy and evil spirit beings 3. Persons whose behavior is seemingly perfect 4. One must determine this from scriptural contect
