The Person Of Jesus Christ Flashcards
Son of God
Jesus is infused with divinity and is God in human form.
Miracle
These are signs or indicators which can help to assure people of the truth of Christianity and especially Jesus’ status as the son of God.
Resurrection
The belief that Jesus rose from the dead, three days after being crucified on the cross.
Wisdom
The parables, sermons Jesus gave and his example have all had an influence on what the western world sees as right and wrong.
Forgiveness
To forgive someone is to celebrate a restored relationship rather than demanding a punishment to ensure justice is served.
Divinity
The supernatural or godly nature of something
Incarnation
God’s spirit descends into flesh through Christ
Repentance
The process of being truly sorry for sins and asking for forgiveness
Morality
This must not only be on the outside but also firmly on the inside. This is so important that Jesus uses hyperbole to emphasise its importance- gauging out the sinful eye is better than risking sinful thoughts.
Liberation Theology
This is a theological movement which believes the Bible clearly teaches that Jesus did not just accept the status quo, but confronted the religious and political authorities.
Religious Pluralism
Each religion attempts to describe God from its own point of view and it is a mistake for each religion to inform the other how wrong they are.
