Study Questions- Week 4
Chapter 10
1.
What was Paul’s primary purpose in writing Galatians?
The main purpose of writing Galatians was to uphold the true Gospel of Jesus Christ. Also, to protect believers from false teachers. 2.
Who were the Judaizers and what was their message?
The Judaizers were false teachers. Their message was similar to Acts 15:1 "Unless you
are circumcised according to the custom prescribed by Moses, you cannot be saved” (Köstenberger, Kellum, & Quarles, n.d.). 3.
What did Paul teach in Galatians concerning justification by faith?
Paul's teaching on justification by faith in Galatians emphasizes that salvation is a free gift of God's grace, received through faith in Jesus Christ alone, and not by any works of
the law or human effort.
Chapter 11
1.
What are some of the primary reasons Paul wrote the Thessalonian letters?
Thessalonian letters were written to:
Encourage and strengthen new believers.
To defend his apostolic authority and his mission.
To address issues of morality and discipline and to live holy lives.
To describe the principles/values of a Christians work ethic.
To address concerns about the return of Christ
To encourage the church to acknowledge its leaders.
Chapter 12
1.
From where did Paul receive information about the church’s condition?
He received information about the church’s condition from “members of Chloe’s household” and the three official delegates of the church (Stephanus, Fortunatus, Achaicus). 2.
What is the dual purpose of 1 Corinthians, and what is the main purpose of 2 Corinthians?
The dual purpose of 1 Corinthians is to pursue unity and to follow Christ and do not idolize a human leader. The main purpose of 2 Corinthians is to defend Paul's apostolic
authority and to address opposition from false teachers who were undermining his ministry.
3.
What is the relationship between the new and old covenants in 2 Corinthian?
The relationship between the new and old covenant in 2 Corinthians is one of contrast and superiority. The new covenant in Christ is superior to the old covenant of the law, because it brings righteousness, freedom, and reconciliation through faith in Christ, rather than through devotion to written rules.
