Test 7 - Chapters 21-25 Flashcards
Why did God create us?
To be a representation of himself and to glorify Him
As we glorify God and enjoy him, Scripture tells us that he rejoices in us. We read “As the bridegroom rejoices over the bride, so shall your God rejoice over you.” Isaiah 62:5
The fact that man is in the image of God means that man is like God and represents God.
The idea that men and women have been given by God different primary functions in the family and the church.
Difference in rol
The idea that men and women are created equally in Gods image and therefore are equally important to God and equally valuable to him.
Equality in personhood
A phrase that proponents of egalitarianism use to describe the type of relationship they believe should exist between husband and wife, in which each is subject to the other in the same. In this understanding of “mutual submission”, it undermines the uniqute authority that the Bible gives to the husband in the marriage relationship.

Dualism
To think of as belonging to someone, and therefore to cause it to belong to that person. God “thinks of” Adams sin as belonging to us, and it therefore belongs to us, and in justificiation he thinks of Christs righteousness as belonging to us, and so relates to us on this basis.
