According to the Kingdom theme in Scripture, Christ's liberating rule has already fully arrived on earth, beginning at the Incarnation. True False Question 4 Question 1 2.5 / 2.5 pts Question 2 2.5 / 2.5 pts Question 3 2.5 / 2.5 pts2.5 / 2.5 pts The gospel is primarily a way of life, not a message. True False Putting our faith in Christ is not about trying harder; it means transferring our trust away from ourselves, and resting it in Him. True False What does it mean to read the Bible diachronically? To examine every text on a particular topic and synthesize them into a coherent set of statements or principles. To follow Scripture along its narrative arc, tracing the redemptive history of God's work in the world. To read the Scriptures allegorically, and then attempt to construct one's own meaning from these allegorical passages. To emphasize the stark divide between the Old and New Testaments, considering them two separate accounts of God's working in the world. What does the Kingdom theme in Scripture show us? That all people are considered kings in God's eyes. The need for the political rules of the nations to recognize God's rule over them. Question 5 2.5 / 2.5 pts Question 6 2.5 / 2.5 pts Question 7 0 / 2.5 ptsThe need within all people for a liberator from slavery. That Jesus was anointed to become king of Israel, but was unable to accomplish this, due to His crucifixion, and thus Christians must finish this work by becoming rulers over non-Christians. Whenever we flesh out the gospel, even in a very brief way, we will put it into the context of one or some of these themes, and this will shade things a bit towards some aspects of the biblical story and away from others. True False Keller identifies two reasons why the gospel is never presented in exactly the same form twice. What are these reasons? The richness of biblical material and the diversity of humanity Sin and human weakness The diversity of humanity and denominational differences The evolving nature of biblical truth, and the different cultural needs present in society Because the canon is closed, the gospel has no versatility to address the particular hopes, fears, and idols of every culture and person, but rather speaks to only one particular context. True Question 8 2.5 / 2.5 pts Question 9 2.5 / 2.5 pts Question 10 2.5 / 2.5 ptsFalse The gospel is not everything we believe, do, or say, but it should inform everything we believe, do, or say. True False The Covenant theme in Scripture raises and answers questions like: how can God be both faithful to His law and faithful to those who break His law? True False According to Keller, the Covenant Fulfillment theme in Scripture shows us what? Our obligation to faithfully keep the whole law of God. How Christ fulfilled the particular commands of the Mosaic Covenant, and therefore, these are no longer binding on Christians. Our need to be saved from our transgressions of the law, which we could never keep. That the Levitical and dietary laws of the Old Testament prefigured the Incarnation of Jesus. Question 14 Question 11 2.5 / 2.5 pts Question 12 2.5 / 2.5 pts Question 13 2.5 / 2.5 pts2.5 / 2.5 pts How does Keller describe the relationship between gospel belief and good works? Ture gospel belief is produced by good works, which prepare the heart to receive the ultimate good work of Jesus. True gospel belief will always and necessarily lead to good works, but salvation in no way comes through or because of good works. True gospel belief in no way comes through or because of good works, and therefore good works, although commendable, should never be seen as normative for the Christian life. There is no relationship between gospel belief and good works; one pertains to the Sacred and one pertains to the Secular fields of life, and the two should never touch. How does Keller describe the gospel? The gospel is a message about how we have been rescued from peril. The gospel is primarily a way of life. The gospel includes every truth contained in the Bible. The gospel is communicated only in actions, not in words. Believing in Christ means that we are forgiven for our past, get a new start on life, and must simply try harder to live better than we did in the past in order to earn God's favor. True False Question 17 Question 15 2.5 / 2.5 pts Question 16 2.5 / 2.5 pts2.5 / 2.5 pts In this chapter, Keller asks how an individual person can be "put right" through Jesus. The answer that the gospel provides is through good works, which then produce faith. True False How does Keller answer the question: "Are covenant blessings of God conditional or unconditional?" Conditional, because God's justice requires full obedience from His people. Unconditional, because God's mercy means that our sin has no real consequence. Both conditional and unconditional, because when we fulfill the conditions of the covenant, God then loves us unconditionally. Both conditional and unconditional, because Jesus fulfilled the conditions of the covenant, making it possible for God to love us unconditionally. The synchronic approach to the Bible reads the text along its narrative arc, or redemptive history. True False How do the different biblical themes that Keller identifies relate to each other? Each theme claims to be the exclusive way to understand the Biblical narrative. Question 18 2.5 / 2.5 pts Question 19 2.5 / 2.5 pts Question 20 2.5 / 2.5 ptsEach theme presents the gospel as a fundamentally different thing. Thus, the gospel of the kingdom theme is a different gospel than that of the covenant theme. One can only understand the gospel once one has learned about every possible theme within the Bible. Although each theme emphasizes a unique aspect of the Biblical story, there is no contradiction—only harmony—among them. Each is a different way of accurately presenting the same gospel.
