response
define the point of the kerygma: created
This point concludes the question of why “something” exists rather than nothing. We all come from one creator, which is God. Out of love, God created each and every one of us, as well as the world.
define the point of the kerygma: captured
This point concludes the question of why everything is so messed up. God is all good while in contrast to Satan, who is envious and declares war on human race. We need to be saved from these
“attacks” which force us to believe that we can survive without
God, and that he is not our heavenly father.
define the point of the kerygma: rescued
This point concludes the question of what, if anything, has God done about it. God rescued us as a response to our captivity, in an unexpected and shocking way. God sent his son to ease our sins and forgive us. Jesus’s crucifixion was a purposeful act that God had the intention of.
define the point of the kerygma: response
This point finally concludes our personal conflict with the Kerygma, and how we should respond to it. We should show gratitude and significance towards Jesus through prayer and worship. God is with us throughout life, and is the answer to any problem or concern we have.
