RLGN 210 Quiz The Work of the Gospel _ Quiz Score: 50 out of 50 How does Keller feel about the role of innovation or creativity relative to gospel renewal? Keller believes that a certain amount of i... nnovation and creativity is necessary for gospel renewal, in order to actually apply the biblical message to the felt needs of a community, however it must never alter the fundamental message of the gospel itself. Keller thinks that creativity and innovation as the means of gospel renewal should be discouraged. It is better, he feels, to rely on the tried and true methods of initiating revival, than to seek out new and untried methods. Keller holds that since all communities are different, it is necessary to be creative and innovative as a means of gospel renewal. In fact, he goes so far as to encourage creativity with the actual content of the gospel itself, changing it in order to appeal to the widest range of your audience. Keller draws a sharp distinction between innovation and creativity. Creativity should be encouraged, while innovation should be discouraged. When Christians realize they did not save themselves but were rescued from spiritual poverty, it naturally changers their attitude toward people who are in economic and physical poverty, leading them to be less inclined to help the poor, since the poor should rely on God instead of money. True False Some parts of the Bible are "better" for gospel preaching than others. True False Question 1 2.5 / 2.5 pts Question 2 2.5 / 2.5 pts Question 3 2.5 / 2.5 ptsIn this chapter, Keller references a particular preacher, whose methodology of preaching two times a day, in the morning and the evening, was very influential to him. Who was this famous preacher? Martin Luther Jonathan Edwards Martyn Lloyd-Jones Charles Spurgeon How does Keller perceive the relationship between human effort and revival? Revival and gospel renewal is a direct result of human effort, and this encourages us to work hard to produce it in our own churches and communities. Ultimately, Keller believes we can only prepare for revival; we can't really bring it about. God must send it. All of the above. None of the above. If you don't point listeners to Jesus before the end of the sermon, you will give them the impression that the sermon is basically about them—about what they must do. True False Question 4 2.5 / 2.5 pts Question 6 2.5 / 2.5 pts Question 5 2.5 / 2.5 ptsIf you seek to be right with God through your morality and religion, you are… Not seeking God for your salvation but using God as a means to achieve your own salvation. Seeking God correctly, according to Scripture, which emphasizes the importance of good works and morality in the Christian life. Seeking God correctly, however there are also innumerable other ways to seek Him as well. All religions will eventually lead to God. Not seeking God correctly since He requires that you give away all of your possessions before you follow Him. According to Keller, in every instance in Scripture, which class of people connects more readily to Jesus? The very respectable religious leaders The pagan Roman legionaries The less religious and less respectable sinners Only the High Priest The gospel of God's grace doesn't try to bend a heart into a new pattern; it melts it and re-forms it into a new shape. True False Question 7 2.5 / 2.5 pts Question 8 2.5 / 2.5 pts Question 9 2.5 / 2.5 ptsWithout the power of the Spirit, our hearts don't really believe in God's delight or grace, so they operate in their default mode. But the truths of the gospel, brought home by the Spirit, slowly but surely help us grasp in a new way how safe and secure, how loved, and how accepted we are in Christ. True False Moralistic behavior change bends a person into a different pattern through fear of consequences rather than melting a person into a new shape. True False Paul describes the three ways people could live under the Old Testament, which still has a deep spiritual meaning for the church today. What are these three ways or categories? The Children of Abraham, the Children of Ishmael, and the Children of Israel. Those who were physically uncircumcised, those who were physically circumcised only, and those who were circumcised in the heart. Those under the Noahic Covenant, those under the Mosaic Covenant, and those under the Davidic Covenant. The Pharisees, the Sadducees, and the Gentiles. Question 13 Question 10 2.5 / 2.5 pts Question 11 2.5 / 2.5 pts Question 12 2.5 / 2.5 pts2.5 / 2.5 pts Keller believes that law obedience is the result of… Good works and effort Fear and anxiety Pride A transformed heart How does Keller define the work of gospel renewal? The practical ways and means by which the Holy Spirit brings lasting change to the lives of individuals and to congregations. The practice of penance, and a fervent dedication to live better lives with all of our strength. A focus on evangelism and outreach to unbelievers, which will increase membership within the church. An identification of the gospel with the social needs of the poor, which must be addressed before any real attempt to reach them with the gospel can be successful. Stirring up self-centeredness in order to get someone to do the right thing is an effective means to lead them to the gospel. True False Question 16 Question 14 2.5 / 2.5 pts Question 15 2.5 / 2.5 pts/ 2.5 pts Keller recommends training lay leaders to be able to minister the gospel to others. This, he says, involves two aspects: content, and life contact. What does he mean by life contact? He is referring to the exponential spread of the gospel through lay evangelism. If one person shares the gospel with two others who they are already in contact with, and each of these shares it with two more, the gospel will continue to spread farther and farther. He means finding ways in personal meetings and counseling to help these lay leaders repent of idols and self-righteousness in their own lives, so that they will be better equipped to help others. The idea behind life contact is that each church should intentionally plant one lay leader in each significant institution of society, such as schools, governments, and businesses, so that they can strategically speak into all of these areas. Life contact, in this sense, means simply that lay leaders should be very friendly and outgoing so that they can engage diverse groups of people, and share the gospel with them. The gospel frees us from having to do the right thing, by providing us with Christ's righteousness instead. We are therefore free to live any kind of life we wish, and are confident that God will accept us anyway. True False What does Keller indicate is the "single venue of information and teaching to which the greatest number of church people are exposed," and which is vital to revivals? Small group gatherings An active and engaging church website Question 17 2.5 / 2.5 pts Question 18 2.5 / 2.5 ptsPreaching Public baptisms In his letter to Titus, Paul calls his readers to say "no" to ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled lives because otherwise they will be excluded from the social circles that are important to them, and will forfeit God's blessing of health and prosperity that come as a result of obedience. True False The main way to avoid moralistic preaching is to be sure that you always preach Jesus as the ultimate point and message of every text.
