1. Discuss the theology John?
The Gospel begins with a section on Christ as the Word, a passage in which it is clear that God has taken action in Christ for revelation and for salvation. Christ is "the Savior of the world" (John 4:42), and this is brought out when he is referred to as Christ (Messiah), Son of God, Son of man, and in other ways. They all depend in one way or another on the thought that God is active in Christ in bringing about the salvation he has planned. John has an interesting use of terms like "glory" and "glorify," for he sees the cross as the glorification of Jesus (John 12:23; 13:31). Suffering and lowly service are not simply the path to glory; they are glory in its deepest sense. This striking form of speech brings out the truth that God is not concerned with the kind of thing that people see as glorious. The whole life of Jesus was lived in lowliness but John can say, "We have beheld his glory" (John 1:14).
John's treatment of the miracles is distinctive. He never calls them "mighty works" as do the synoptics, but "signs" or "works." They point us to significant truth, for God is at work in them. "Work" may be used of Jesus' non-miraculous deeds as well as those that are
miraculous, which suggests that his life is all of a piece. He is one person; he does not do some things as God and others as man. But all he does is the outworking of his mission, a thought which means much to John. Being sent means that Jesus became man in the fullest sense, as is brought out by his dependence on the Father (cf. John 5:19, 30) and by statements about his human limitations (e.g. John 4:6; 11:33, 35; 19:28). John's Jesus is fully divine, indeed, but he is also fully human.
awaited the consummation of Jesus' own ministry (John 7:39). The Spirit is active in the Christian life from the beginning (John 3:5, 8) and there are important truths about the Spirit in Jesus' farewell discourse. There we learn among other things that he is "the Spirit of truth" (John 14:16-17), that he will never leave Jesus' people (John 14:16), and that he has a work among unbelievers, namely that of convicting them of sin, righteousness, and judgment (John 16:8).
2. Discuss the 7 characteristics of the kingdom of God and the ethics of the kingdom of God?
The seven characteristics of the kingdom of God are; (1) The kingdom of God is present in the ministry of Jesus. (2) The king in the kingdom is a father.
(3) The kingdom of God applies a new kingdom.
(4) The kingdom of God involves a new pattern/law for living. (5) The kingdom is center in Christ.
(6) The kingdom involves a cross.
(7) the kingdom, though come, even though is yet to be consummate.
age. The ethics of the kingdom emphasis upon the righteousness of the heart. And eschatology illustrates one important face about God’s Fatherhood. It is a blessing and relationship that cannot be enjoyed by all people but only by those who enter the
eschatological Kingdom. The concept of Fatherhood is qualified by that of the Kingdom. It is as the Father that God will grant women and men entrance into the eschatological Kingdom; and it follows that those who do not enter that Kingdom will not enjoy the relationship to God as their Father.
3. Write the Kerygma of Acts.
"Kerygmatic" is sometimes used to express the message of Jesus' whole ministry, as" a proclamation addressed not to the theoretical reason, but to the hearer as a self"; as opposed to the didactic use of Scripture that seeks understanding in the light of what is taught the meaning of the crucifixion is central to this concept. During the mid-twentieth century, when the literary genre of the NT gospels was under debate, scholars like C. H. Dodd and Rudolf Bultmann suggested that the gospels were of a genre unique in the ancient world. They called this genre kerygma and described it as a later development of preaching, having taken a literary form. The ancient Christian kerygma as summarized by Dodd from Peter's speeches in the New Testament Book of Acts was:
1.The Age of Fulfillment has dawned, the "latter days" foretold by the prophets.
2.This has taken place through the birth, life, ministry, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. 3.By virtue of the resurrection, Jesus has been exalted at the right hand of God
as Messianic head of the new Israel.
4.The Holy Spirit in the church is the sign of Christ's present power and glory.
6.An appeal is made for repentance with the offer of forgiveness, the Holy Spirit, and salvation.
4. Write the differences of the theology of synoptic and the theology of Acts?
5. Discuss Paul’s understanding of salvation?
The Apostle Paul explained how our view of salvation by grace through faith in Christ should affect our daily lives as believers. Since salvation is wholly an unmerited gift of grace, we should be humble towards others, united with our fellow believers, and loving towards all. Paul often wrote that Christians are to live differently because of our salvation through faith in Jesus Christ, and his words are as helpful for modern-day believers as they were for the early church. When we appreciate the fact that we are saved solely by the grace of God, and not by any merit on our part, we can live lives that reflect the truth of the gospel. In Romans 3:9-12 Paul makes clear that there is no difference between Jew or Gentile, for “all are under the power of sin.” This fact, coupled with the truth that righteousness in not merited through works but “is given through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe” (Rom. 3:22), lays the foundation for unity within the church.
makes us humble rather than spiritually prideful, which causes us to act lovingly towards believers and unbelievers alike.
