Q5. (Hebrews 5:9) In verse 9, what does "made perfect" refer to, since it obviously isn't talking about Jesus' moral growth and perfection? (Hint: The word teleioō means "bring something to its goal or accomplishment.") He overcome all sin/temptation - He passed the test - He fulfilled what He came to earth to do for mankind. He became the One for eternal salvation

What is so important about holding fast to our confession: It is so important to hold fast to our confession - to say out loud confessions with faith to keep sin out of our minds and hearts cause the mind is where Satan attacks the most - we must hold fast to take hold of our eternal life What is our confession or profession of Faith? To fight the good fight of faith Why is maintaining this confession so vital If we do not maintain our confessions we will lose our eternal life and we want to keep feeding the Holy Spirit

Only hte word can give us rest cause the word is God who tell us who we are and how to live The word is alive and sharper than any two edged sword. The word convicts us To ward of temptations and to remain strong only in Him

Eternal rest which is a promise for each believer We are prone to temptations which eludes to what we believe as christians. We are reminded that we must not take for granted the promises of God 'Apostacy from Christ' when one willingly reject Christ. Falling into sin is when a believer fall without knowing it.

The importance of our faith in Chirst is to trust God and to be partners in Christ. Sin trick us when we isolate our selves from our brothers and sisters Sin hardens us and is very deceptive It hardens us by blinding our eyes So one will not fall in sin - must daily encourage one another so as no to be hardened So one will not fall in sin - must daily encourage one another so as not to be hardened by sin

We must hold onto Christ so that we would not go back to our old ways We must continue in our faith so that we wont be rebellious but obedient and faithful to him If we dont continue in faith we will waiver

Why in God's plan did Jesus have to become human like us? Because God knew and saw how mankind was wicked - because we are created like Him he sent the second person of the trinity to come and pay the price for our sins once and for all cause sacrifices had to be done constantly. It was a the only dear and most costly price that God could have sent to mankind - his priceless son How does his humanity provide encouragement and help to us when we are in trouble? Knowing that He paid the price so that we can go boldly before him when we are in trouble and call upon his name anytime.

What was the purpose of Christ's death according to verses 14 and 15? Destroying Satan and nullifying his power of death over mankind In what sense is this mission accomplished? By Jesus being the Victorious over satan. Mankind have a choice and can be save thru the power and blood of Jesus because he is sitting at the right hand of the Father making intercession for us and we have the power to defeat Satan by calling on His name and blood cause there is power in them In what sense will it see its final completion in the future? When the Bride Christ shall rise and those that are saved will meet and go with Him What is the result in our lives from Christ's accomplishment? That the price we paid in a sinful world by serving Him we will be able to spend eternity with Him

What does it mean, to bring many sons and daughters "to glory"? It was suitable to divine wisdom and justice and the program of grace to offer Jesus as a sacrifice in order to bring many souls to glory or to accept Jesus as they Lord and savior Jesus Christ bringing them from death to life In what sense did Jesus become "perfect" through suffering? What are the implications for our own lives? He suffered for the remission of our sin and because of his suffering He is now able to offer eternal salvation to those who obey Him. Through the suffering before and on the cross Jesus completed the work necessary for our own Salvation. Our suffering can make us stonger sons and daughters with utmost respect for him thru obedience. It will also make us more compassionate to those who don't know Him and servants of God who are struggling to become more like Him.

In what way did Christ "taste death for everyone"? Angels are immortal and cannot die so Jesus was made lower than the angels in the form of man in order to taste death for mankind Why is this so dependent upon God's grace? Because of we are created like him (little gods) that even the angels could not fathom what it is He has with mankind - it is not his will that we perish so he had such grace towards us and still do If Christ died for your blackest and most stubborn sins, what are the implications for you? That I should be sold out to Him and Him only, I must at all times pray, praise, and worship HIm. I must share and give love cause love came down from heaven

In what ways did Jesus suffer during his life and death? He suffered pain, shame, loneliness, rejection, redicule, temptation, persecution to name a few In what ways are we likely to suffer? We are likely to suffer the same and if not more because of the nature of time. I perceive that we can even be stoned, the bible taken away from us, not to mention His name Does suffering have any value? Yes What happens when we live in such a way to avoid all suffering? We miss out on spiritual growth and closeness with God- we are pruned thru suffering to fully understand how and what He himself have suffered for us so that we can love him more. If we look at all the patriots in the bible and Jesus himself they all at one time suffer But God brought through

By what way has the truth of salvation been confirmed to me? It was confirmed to my by its founder Christ, its price death of the only begotton son, it's benefits thru the Holy Spirit - soul salvation, healing, deliverance, joy and peace, preservation, daily benefits - signs and wonders Would signs and wonders help or hinder establishing the truth of Christ's ministry today? A big YES it will help! Because He said, I have to go unto my father, greater works will we do when He is gone (signs, wonders, miracles) but the Father will send another Comforter Jn14:11-17 26, 16:12-15 - Power with demonstration must come - it is already happening - soon it will be more prevelent - Oh Glory to God!!! But we are to be very careful according to Matthew 24:24 and Mark 13:22 "For false messiahs and false prophets will rise up and perform signs and wonders so as to deceive, if possible, even God
