This question was attempted by few candidates and they exhibited shallow knowledge of the subject matter. Only a meager number of the candidates scored half of the mark. Most of tem wrote on giving in general not relating it to Paul's teaching in Corinthians. Some vital points missed out were:
(i) The gifts sent to Paul were fragrant offering, a sacrifice pleasing and acceptable to God.
(ii) That God would provide for their needs according to His riches and glory.
(iii) He was proud and boasted of the gifts to the Macedonians.
(iv) Paul said he who sows sparingly will reap sparingly and visa versa.
They applied residual knowledge for the (b) part and this earned them some
marks. As they mention that God was not a debtor, that there is reward for
the giver and there is joy in sharing. |
