MARKING SCHEME
Q1.
Three
points affirming that GOD indeed loves man are clearly listed as follows;
a.
God
created mankind in HIS own image
likeness and gave man dominion over
the earth.
b.
When
man disobeyed GOD in the Garden of Eden,
God was having the right and power to
wipe away mankind from the face of the earth. GOD did not do that, but gave man a second chance because HE
loved mankind. (John 3 : 16)
c.
The
sins of mankind has affected everything
of the earth making all corrupted and the earth is no more a better place to
dwell. Because God loves mankind, He has
prepared new place in heaven far better than the earth for mankind.
Q2.
Sin has numerous
consequences but the major ones are outline as follows;
i. Separation from GOD. (Isa
59:1-2)
ii.
Slavery. (John 8:34-35)
iii. Death (on earth and in hell). (Rom 6:23)
Q3.
The steps that
someone who haven’t given his/her to GOD has to follow to are as follows.
A.
Self-acknowledgement: When one get to the point of realizing
that all have sinned and fall short of the glory of GOD (Romans 3:23); and as a
result had been cut off from GOD; and is going to perish in the lake of fire
(hell); and therefore needs salvation and restoration. This is the first step.
B.
Repentance: The second step is you regretting of the sins that
you had ever committed; and making you mind not to repeat them again in your
life but will give your life to GOD; and live a new life in accordance to HIS
word for him.
{2 Cor 5:17. 17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he
is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become
new. NKJV}
C.
Confession: At this juncture, you have to confess your sins to
the lord JESUS CHRIST; and ask for forgiveness. And believing that JESUS CHRIST
died on the cross for our sins; and was buried; and HE rose on the third day;
and is sat down at the right hand of the father interceding for us. And
accepting JESUS CHRIST as your LORD and personal SAVIOR.
{1 John 1:9. If we confess our sins, He
is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all
unrighteousness. NKJV.}
{Rom 10:10. 10 For with the heart one believes unto
righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. NKJV}
D. Baptism:
This is the final step.
After taking the above steps, you have to be baptized in water symbolizing that
you have died with the LORD JESUS CHRIST and buried the old person with HIM;
and has risen with HIM as a new person; and is been initiated into the kingdom
of GOD. Now you are born again CHRISTIAN into the kingdom of GOD.
{John 3:3-7. 3 Jesus answered
and said to him, "Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again,
he cannot see the kingdom of God." 4 Nicodemus said to Him, "How can
a man be born when he is old? Can he enter a second time into his mother's womb
and be born?" 5 Jesus answered, "Most assuredly, I say to you, unless
one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God. 6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh,
and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. NKJV}
E. REMAINING,
GROWING AND BEARING FRUITS IN CHRIST JESUS.
Q4.
Born again
Christian needs the following in order grow.
A. The word
of God. (1 Peter 2:1-2)
B. Fellowship.
(Heb 10:24-25)
C. Prayer
(Isa 40:29-31)
Q5.
The reasons why
man now will be taken to heaven are explain below.
a) Sin;
the disobedience of
Adam and Eve brought sin on earth which affected all the creation of GOD making
all corrupted. The earth is no more a good place for the children of GOD to
dwell. And GOD wants to take his own to where HE is.
b) The
plan of GOD remains unchanged; Satan by deceiving man to flout the
commandments of GOD thought he could bring the purpose of GOD for creating man
to nothing and cut off the love GOD have for man. God want to prove Satan wrong
by preparing a new place in heaven for man which is by far better than the
earth.
{John 14:1-4. 14 "Let not
your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me. 2 In
My Father's house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you.
I go to prepare a place for you. 3 And
if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to
Myself; that where I am, there you may be also.}
Q6
Life
in Heaven;
God will wipe away every tear from
their eyes; there shall be no more death,
nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no
more pain, for the former things
have passed away." (Rev 21:4-5)
Life
in hell;
Life in hell is full of extremely unceasing torment, pain, sorrow,
lamentation, wailing, hunger, thirst and all sorts of punishments.
