Answers To QUIZ
“WHAT MAKES YOU ACCEPTABLE WITH GOD?”
Yes No
1. Do you
believe that the grace of God in your heart is able to make you
acceptable in the sight of God?
2. Do you
believe that Christ as a divine person can dwell in your heart?
3. Do you
believe that the indwelling of Christ can make the good works
Answers: 1. No 2. No 3. No
Question
1. Rome
says “Yes”
and the Christian says “No”.
Explanation: To make us acceptable to
God, it
requires infinitely more grace than we could ever contain in our
hearts. We are
justified by the grace of God in Christ.
“For
by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is
the gift
of God: (Ephesians 2:8)
Now
Rome seemingly agrees with the above verse but underneath she has a
different
meaning. Rome wrongly reads it as follows
“For
by infused/imparted/into
the person grace
are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift
of God: (Ephesians
2:8)
Christians
rightly understand it as follows: “For by imputed/outside
of the
person grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of
yourselves: it is the gift of God: (Ephesians 2:8)
Question
2. Rome
says “Yes”
and the Christian says “No”.
Explanation:
Christ as a person dwells
in heaven
as he is seated at the right hand of God the Father (Hebrews 10:12;
Hebrews
12:2). While we are home in his body, we are absent from the Lord
(2Corinthians 5:6). He is present in us by the Holy Ghost, and this is
how he
dwells in us by faith.
We
do not worship the Christ within us but the Christ who lives outside of
us.
Furthermore, our righteousness with God is in the person of Christ, and
this
justifying righteousness is not within us but outside of us in the
person of
Christ, who is in heaven (Romans 5:21; Philippians 1:11; Philippians
3:9; 2Peter
1:1).
Question
3. Rome
says “Yes”
and the Christian says “No”.
Explanation:
God is
pleased with
the good works of his children for what they stand for – that they love
him and
serve him out of thankful hearts. Yet these works are not part of the
righteousness by which they are justified with God (Hebrews 13:21; 1 Peter 2:5).
