Question 9
THEMES FROM THE SELECTED EPISTLES
Question 9:Gal. 3:23 - 2(l, 4: 1-7
(a)With reference to the book of Galatians, state any six factors that
make unbelievers become children of God.
(b)In what three ways can Christians retain their status as children of
God?

The question was answered by very few candidates and they failed to
mention the factors that make unbelievers children of God. They were
only preaching and they applied residual knowledge to answer the
question.
The (b) part of the question was their undoing as only few gave the correct
answers. The points they would have mentioned are:
(i)Being prayerful and practicing what is read in the Bible.
(ii)Having forgiving spirit.
(iii)Relying on the Holy Spirit for corrections and guidance.
(iv)Showing faith in God.
