True False In the subsection "Guilt and Self-Image," what is Keller's conclusion? Through its message of conviction and sin, the gospel is the primary cause of guilt in our lives; we must seek to lessen or escape this guilt by performing good deeds. Through its message of grace and forgiveness, the gospel absolves us not only from all guilt of our past mistakes, but of all guilt for our future mistakes as well. Therefore, obedience to God's commands is no longer required of us, and we can live as if there were no moral law, constructing our own self-images as we please. The true purpose in life is to fashion a self-image for ourselves that makes us feel happy and accepted for who we are and what we have done. The gospel can produce in us both enormous boldness and utter humility, for we are simultaneously both perfect and sinner. Sexuality is supposed to reflect the self-giving of Christ. Consequently, we may give of ourselves in this regard to anyone we wish, so long as we both consent to it. True False Which aspects of our lives does the gospel affect? Question 1 2.5 / 2.5 ptsQuestion 5 2.5 / 2.5 pts Question 6 2.5 / 2.5 pts Our inner moral/spiritual life Our ecclesiastical life Our political life Every aspect of our life The free, unshakable grace of God liberates us to follow all of our passions, appetites, and affections in this life, knowing that they have already been forgiven by Jesus at the Cross. True False According to Keller, does the gospel provide a standard by which to oppose human authority, or obey human authority? The gospel leads us to obey human authorities in order to maintain our self-image as upright persons. The gospel leads us to obey human authority only when we know we can't get away with disobeying. The gospel leads us to oppose human authority, which in a fallen world, will always be contrary to God's authority. The gospel lead us to oppose human authority, if it contradicts the scriptures, and otherwise to obey the human authorities from the heart, even if we could get away with disobedience. Question 7Question 8 / 2.5 pts Question 9 / 2.5 pts 2.5 / 2.5 pts While every Christian, regardless of income, is both a sinner and a son/daughter of God, Keller recommends for the wealthy Christians to only associate with other wealthy Christians, and not mingle with the poor, as this will tempt and entice the poor to envy and worldly longings. True False Keller writes that "the coming of the messianic King occurs in two stages." What are these stages? The first stage is the physical coming of Jesus in the flesh, and the second stage is the spiritual coming of the Holy Spirit, which began at Pentecost. The first stage is the personal coming of Jesus in the flesh, and the second stage is the representative coming of Jesus in His body on earth—the Church. The first stage is His coming to save us from the penalty of sin, and the second stage is His coming save us from the dominion and presence of all sin and evil, bringing in a new creation. The first stage is the coming of the Law under Moses, and the second stage is the fulfillment of the law, or the coming of Grace, in Jesus Christ. In his section on love and relationships, how does Keller describe the effects of the gospel? The gospel will cause us to seek after a good self-image by blaming others. The gospel will cause us to view real love as a negotiated partnership for mutual benefit.Question 10 2.5 / 2.5 pts Question 11 2.5 / 2.5 pts Question 12 2.5 / 2.5 pts Question 13 2.5 / 2.5 pts The gospel will cause us to selflessly sacrifice and commit; we will love a person enough to confront when necessary, yet stay with the person even when it does not benefit us. The gospel will cause us to selflessly sacrifice and commit, to the extent that we will never again confront anyone, regardless of their behavior, so that we can maintain a positive self-image of ourselves as a good person. Christianity, through teaching the gospel, radically undermined the institution of slavery. True False Repeatedly throughout the New Testament, we see that saving faith and repentance are inseparable, and that true repentance includes grief and sorrow over our sin. True False It is natural for individuals and churches to experience slow spiritual deadening over the years, unless some sort of renewal or revival dynamic arrests it. True FalseQuestion 14 2.5 / 2.5 pts Question 15 2.5 / 2.5 pts Personal gospel renewal includes an awareness and conviction of one's own sin and alienation from God, and comes from seeing in ourselves deeper layers of selfjustification, unbelief, and self-righteousness than we have ever seen before. True False Keller claims that "Gospel renewal fits our times." What does he mean by this? He means that the American church in the 21st century must experience a new revival, or else it will likely collapse entirely as a social and charitable force in the world, leading inevitably to undesirable government welfare programs. He means that after the major changes of the industrial revolution and the rise of pluralism, greater cultural emphasis has been placed on individual persuasion and conversion rather than on inherited family/community beliefs. Thus, revival must play a role in the modern world if Christianity is to be properly contextualized. He means that revival events are now more effective than ever due to the ease of transportation. In the past, large crowds could rarely gather due to the predominantly agrarian nature of society, however now the true strength of the gospel can be presented to the world through the vast numbers that can gather to display its effects. He means that social media is a vital tool for the spreading of the gospel message. How does Keller define corporate gospel renewal? When many members of a business organization experience gospel renewal together, and begin attending the same church as a result. A season in which a whole body of believers experiences personal gospel renewal together. A large event, usually outdoors, such as a rally or crusade where vast numbers of people hear the gospel and experience conversion.Question 16 2.5 / 2.5 pts Question 17 / 2.5 pts Question 18 2.5 / 2.5 pts When the gospel message is changed and reconfigured to appeal more to a particular demographic. How does Keller define Personal Gospel renewal? When a person consistently participates in the sacraments. When a person undergoes an emotional experience, disconnected from the doctrines of sin and grace. When the gospel doctrines of sin and grace are actually experienced, not just known intellectually. When a person first intellectually learns of the gospel message, regardless of whether they believe it or not. Revival as a phenomenon is a historical curiosity, and not a consistent pattern of how the Holy Spirit works in a community. True False Revivals and renewals are necessary only where Christians have fallen into an attitude of works-righteousness, which rarely, if ever, happens among mature believers. True False Question 19Question 20 2.5 / 2.5 pts 2.5 / 2.5 pts Revivalist ministry emphasizes conversion and spiritual renewal, not only for those outside the church, but also for those inside the church. True False Gospel renewal seeks only to convert unbelieves and nominal church members. It does not suppose that committed Christians need the Spirit to emphasize the gospel to them, because they have already believed in Christ's love and power.
