1. What is the Plan of God in Redemption? How He executed this Plan, & how does the
creation benefitted from it?
Answer: The Plan of God in Redemption refers to the divine plan of salvation that God
established for humanity. According to Christian theology, this plan was put in place
after the fall of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden, and it involves the redemption of
humanity from sin and the restoration of the relationship between God and human
beings. God executed this plan of redemption through the life, death, and resurrection
of Jesus Christ, who is believed to be the Son of God and the savior of humanity. Jesus'
sacrifice on the cross is seen as the ultimate act of love and mercy, through which he
took on the sins of humanity and made it possible for humans to be reconciled to God.

2. What is the Purpose of God’s Redemption? Throughout the history of Redemption, &
how the Scriptures shows it?
Answer: The purpose of God's redemption is to reconcile humanity to Himself and
restore the relationship that was broken by sin. Throughout history, God has been
working to bring about His plan of salvation, which was ultimately fulfilled through the
life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. The Scriptures show how God's redemptive
plan was foreshadowed in the Old Testament through the sacrificial system and
prophetic messages, and how it was fulfilled in the New Testament through the work of
Jesus Christ and the early church. The Scriptures also show that God's redemption is
ongoing through the work of the Holy Spirit, and will ultimately be realized when Jesus
returns and establishes His kingdom on earth.

3. What is God’s Providence, & how does it works in Salvation and in Preservation of His
Creation?
Answer: God's Providence refers to His sovereign control over all things and His ability
to work through all circumstances to achieve His purposes. In terms of salvation, God's
providence works to bring about the redemption of humanity by orchestrating events
and circumstances to draw people to Himself. This includes working in the hearts and
minds of individuals to convict them of their sin and lead them to faith in Jesus Christ.
In both salvation and preservation, God’s providence is a manifestation of His love,
grace, and mercy towards His creation. It is an expression of His goodness and
faithfulness, and a testimony to His power and wisdom. Ultimately, God’s providence
assures us that we can trust in His goodness and rest in His care, knowing that He is
working all things together for the good of those who love Him (Romans 8:28).

4. What is God’s Providence in Relation to God’s Sovereignty, Define and Discuss?

 Answer: God's sovereignty refers to His absolute and supreme control over all things,
including the affairs of human beings and the natural world. It means that God is the
ultimate authority and power in the universe, and that everything that happens is under
His control. God's Providence, on the other hand, refers to the way in which God
exercises His sovereignty in the world. It involves His active and purposeful care for His
creation, including the preservation of all things and the working out of His plan of
salvation. God's Providence encompasses both His actions and His guidance, and it is
characterized by His wisdom, love, and faithfulness.

5. How will you Define, Discuss and Defend the Creation of God, against the Teachings of
Evolutionism?
Answer: To defend the creation of God against the teachings of evolutionism. Some of
these arguments include: The complexity of life: One of the arguments put forward is
that the complexity of living things is evidence of intelligent design, rather than the
result of natural selection. For example, the intricate design of a human eye, or the
precise functioning of a human heart, are seen as evidence of a divine creator rather
than the product of chance. The origins of life: Another argument is that the origin of life
itself cannot be explained by natural selection, and must be the result of divine creation.
While scientists have made significant progress in understanding the chemical processes
that led to the formation of the first living cells, there is still much that is not
understood, and some Christians argue that the complexity of life points to the need for
a divine creator. The moral implications: Some Christians argue that accepting evolution
as a natural process undermines the idea of human dignity and reduces human beings
to mere animals. They argue that a belief in divine creation is necessary to affirm the
uniqueness and value of human life.
6. What are the Origin, & the Nature of the Angel? How the Angel works in relation to
Creation, in Salvation and in the Judgment Day?
Answer: Angels are believed to be supernatural beings created by God before the
creation of humanity. The origin of angels is described in the Bible, but the exact nature
of their existence is a matter of theological interpretation. According to the Bible, angels
were created to be messengers and servants of God. They are described as powerful,
intelligent beings with the ability to communicate with humans, carry out God's will, and
engage in spiritual warfare against evil forces. In relation to creation, angels are believed
to have played a role in the creation of the universe, though the exact nature of their
involvement is not clearly defined. Some Christians believe that angels were
instrumental in bringing about the physical world, while others believe that they were
involved in shaping the spiritual realm. In relation to salvation, angels are believed to
serve as messengers of God's will, bringing messages of hope and comfort to believers,
and warning of impending judgment to those who reject God. In the New Testament,
angels are also portrayed as celebrating the birth of Jesus and announcing his
resurrection. In the judgment day, angels are believed to play a key role in God's final
judgment of humanity. They are often depicted as separating the righteous from the
wicked, and as executing God's judgment upon those who have rejected Him.

adoration of God. They are often depicted as having six wings and a fiery appearance.

are often depicted as having multiple wings and a human-like appearance.

prophecy.

8. What are the ministries of the Angels in the Life of the Believers?
Answer: The exact nature and extent of the ministries of angels in the life of believers is
a matter of interpretation and personal belief, and there is no definitive answer.
However, many Christians find comfort in the belief that angels are present and active in
their lives, offering guidance, protection, and support as they navigate their faith
journey.
