This was an unpopular question as most of the candidates that answered the question were sermonizing. They wrote out of context and thereby scored low marks. The following points could have fetched them more marks but they were omitted.
(i) That every man was under the law, kept under restraint until faith was revealed.
(ii) Believers, as babies, were formerly slaves to elemental spirits.
(iii) Christians as adopted sons can boldly call God their father.
(iv) Christians are no longer slaves but heirs.
The (b) part of the question was not properly answered by the candidates. They were expected to state the following points:
(i) The doctrine of sonship make Christians bonafide members of the kingdom of God.
(ii) Christians are part of the fulfillment of God’s promise to Abraham.
(iii) A redeemed believer has the privilege to share in the inheritance of God’s eternal glory. |
