2. Explain the call of Abraham and the nature of the tripartite covenant which God made with him. The call of Abraham is tracked down in Genesis 12:1-3, where God teaches Abraham to leave his country, his family members, and his dad's home and go to the land that God will show him. The three-sided contract made with Abraham is depicted in Genesis 15 and 17. There are three promises in it: blessing, descendants, and land. According to Genesis 15:18–21, God promises to give the land of Canaan to Abraham and his descendants as an inheritance. He likewise guarantees that Abraham will become the dad of an incredible country, with various relatives (Genesis 15:4-5). Finally, God vows to favor Abraham and make his name perfect (Genesis 12:2-3). The tripartite covenant and the call of Abraham are significant because they lay the groundwork for the Jewish people and the state of Israel. The Israelite nation and the establishment of the Promised Land are based on the fulfillment of these promises. The covenant also emphasizes God's faithfulness and desire to bless and supply His chosen people. Jesus Christ, who is born of Abraham's descendants and brings blessing to all nations, is also foreshadowed by the tripartite covenant and the call of Abraham (Galatians 3:16). As a result, the tripartite covenant and Abraham's call are crucial components of God's overall plan for redemption. 6. Explain how the early Church continues the ministry of Jesus as presented in the New Testament. The early Church proceeded with the service of Jesus as introduced in the New Confirmation in more ways than one. Right off the bat, they kept on teaching the message of the Gospel, declaring the uplifting news of salvation through confidence in Jesus Christ (Acts 2:38-

39). In the same way that Jesus did during His ministry, they continued to perform healings and miracles in His name (Acts 3:1–10, Acts 9:32–35). Moreover, the early Church underscored the significance of local area and cooperation, similarly as with His supporters (Acts 2:42-47). Acts 2:42 records that they gathered for worship, prayer, and mealtime. In the same way that Jesus instructed His disciples, the early Church also continued to instruct and train new believers (Acts 2:42; Matthew 28:19–20). In addition, the early Church carried on the mission of spreading the Gospel to all countries, as Jesus directed His followers before His climb (Matthew 28:19-20, Acts 1:8). They laid out places of worship and conveyed preachers to impart the message of salvation to individuals from various societies and foundations (Acts 13-14, Acts 16-20). Ultimately, the early Church kept on showing adoration and empathy towards others, similarly as during His service (Acts 2:44-45, Acts 4:32-35). James 1:27 mentions that they showed hospitality to strangers and cared for the poor, widows, and orphans. The early Church faithfully carried on Jesus' ministry as described in the New Testament in all these ways. 1. Explain how Christianity understands the death and resurrection of Jesus to be at the heart of the Gospel message. Identify and explain important elements from the Gospels about these events. Identify and explain important elements of the Old Testament which are related to these events. Because they represent the central events that bring about salvation and reconciliation between God and humanity, Christianity considers Jesus' death and resurrection to be at the heart of the Gospel message.
