All of the above
Correct Answer
D. All of the aboveExplanation
Jesus likened His disciples to salt; they were to be to the world what
salt is to us in everyday life. Salt seasons food; it hinders the spread of
corruption; it creates thirst. So His followers were to add “flavor” to
human society, to serve as a preservative agent, and to make others long
for the type of righteousness described in the
preceding verses.Rate this question:

Witness for Christ in his work day by his good works
- C.
Give 10 percent of his earnings to missions work
- D.
Use his good reputation to bring in more business
Correct Answer
B. Witness for Christ in his work day by his good worksExplanation
Men do not light a lamp and put it under a bushel. The bushel, of
course, is a unit of measure used in business. Christ’s followers should not
allow the claims of business to douse their witness for Him; better to put
the lamp on top of the bushel, that is, to use their business as a means of
sharing their Savior with others. Or, as Jesus suggested, put the lamp on a
stand so that it will give light to all in the house. He did not intend that we
should hoard the light of His matchless teaching to ourselves but that we
should share it with family and friends, that is, with everyone that comes
into the house. We should let our light shine before men so that as they see
our good works, they will glorify our Father in heavenRate this question:

The Lord Jesus ___________ the law of Moses
- A.
Repudiated
- B.
Disobeyed
- C.
Changed
- D.
Upheld
Correct Answer
D. UpheldExplanation
It is the way of most revolutionary leaders to sever all ties with the
past and completely repudiate the traditional order. Not so with the Lord
Jesus. He consistently upheld the law of Moses and insisted that it must
be fulfilled. The law was given by God and was holy, just, and goodRate this question:

Becoming acceptable to God requires
- A.
Maintaining outward religious practices
- B.
Creating more laws than the Pharisees did
- C.
Becoming a martyr
- D.
Being imputed with the righteousness of the Son of God
Correct Answer
D. Being imputed with the righteousness of the Son of GodExplanation
In terms of being
admitted into the kingdom, our righteousness must exceed that of the scribes
and Pharisees. They contented themselves with religious ceremonies that
gave them an outward, ritual cleanness, but never changed their hearts. This
external righteousness without inward reality will never do. God requires
truth in our inner person; the only righteousness which will satisfy Him
is the perfection which He imputes to those
who accept His Son as only Lord and Savior

- B.
We ourselves have been wronged
- C.
Someone irritates us
- D.
We are thwarted in our desires
Correct Answer
A. God’s honor is at stake or someone else is wrongedExplanation
Most
people can find what they think is a valid cause for their anger. Actually
the only times when anger is justified is when God’s honor is at stake or
whenever someone else is being wronged—but never in retaliation for
personal wrongs.Rate this question:

From Jesus’ teaching we understand that love is a matter of
- A.
The will
- B.
Natural affections
- C.
The emotions
- D.
Physical response
Correct Answer
A. The willExplanation
But now a different day has dawned.
Jesus announces that we are to love our
enemies and pray for our persecutors. The
fact that love is commanded shows that it
is a matter of the will and not primarily of
the emotions. Obviously it is not the same
as natural affection, because it is not natural to love those who hate and
harm you. It is a supernatural grace and can be manifested only by those
who have divine life.Rate this question:
