Correct Answer: C. Josiah

Correct Answer: A. John the Baptist

Explanation

(a) The circumstances were that when Saul, the unbeliever who persecuted the Christians, collected letters of introduction to synagogues in Damascus, to enable him arrest Christians in the city. He planned to bring the arrested Christians / believers bound to Jerusalem for persecution. As he approached Damascus, a light from heaven flashed around him. He fell to the ground and heard the quoted voice. After hearing the voice, Paul then asked, "who are you Lord" and the voice replied, I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting. Rise and enter the city and you would be told what to do. The man who were traveling with him stood speechless hearing voices, but seeing no one. He discovered he was blind and was led by hand into Damascus.

For three days, he neither ate nor drank. Meanwhile, the Lord spoke to Ananias in a vision to go to the house of Judas (in Straight Street) and ask for Saul of Tarsus. Ananias was further told that Saul had, while praying, seen him in a vision laying hands on him so that he might regain his sight. But Ananias protested and explained that he had heard a great deal about Saul's persecution of Christians in Jerusalem, and that he had actually come to Damascus with the aim of binding believers. The Lord insisted that Ananias should go to Saul whom the Lord said He had chosen as an instrument for the proclamation of the Gospel. The Lord promised to show Saul, how much suffering he would undergo for the Lord's sake. Ananias therefore went to Saul and informed him that the Lord who appeared to him on the way to Damascus, had sent him to him, that he might regain his sight. Immediately, something like scales fell from his eyes and he regained his sight. Then Saul arose and was baptized.

(b) Ways in which this experience affected Saul's life are:

(i) Saul was transformed from being a persecutor of the Christians to a defender of Christianity.

(ii) It also changed him from its former devotion to the Law, to a complete devotion to Jesus Christ.

(iii) Paul became an apostle to the Gentiles and from there, the early church enjoyed peace. As the Lord predicted, Saul endured untold persecution in his efforts to propagate the gospel.

Explanation

(a) When Jesus was going to Galilee, he passed through Samaria. In Samaria, he met a Samaritan woman at the Jacob's well who came to fetch water . Jesus requested the woman to give him water to drink. The woman questioned why he (Jesus) a Jew, requested from her a Samaritan to give him water to drink. Jesus replied that if she knew the gift of God and who he was, that requested her to give him water to drink, she would have asked Him for a living water. In her reply, the woman said to Jesus that he (Jesus) did not have any container to draw the water with and she also asked where Jesus got that living water from. She further queried Jesus whether he was greater than their father Jacob who gave them the well and drank from it. Jesus said, " Everyone who drinks of this water will thirst again, but whoever drinks of the water that I shall give him will never. The water I shall give him will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life-. The Samaritan woman then asked Jesus Christ to give her the living water, so that she would neither be thirsty nor come to draw water again.

(b) The story of the living water is applicable to the present day Christians in the following ways:

(i) The living water is used by Jesus as a figurative expression. The "living water" means the word of God.

(ii) It signifies that. to Jesus Christ, there is no discrimination among the Jews, Greeks and Gentiles.

(iii) The living water, which comes out from Jesus Christ is enough to sustain us in all situations in which we may find ourselves.

(iv) The living water from Jesus will lead us to heaven.

Correct Answer: B) are true worshippers of God

Explanation

The question is asking about who is eligible for salvation according to the book of Romans in the Bible. There are four options to choose from, and we are to select the correct one.

The correct option is B, which states that salvation is for those who are true worshippers of God. This means that those who worship God with sincerity and truthfulness will be saved. It is important to note that salvation is not based on our works or actions, but rather on our faith in God.

The book of Romans teaches us that we are saved by grace through faith in Jesus Christ, and not by our own efforts or good deeds. In other words, we cannot earn our salvation by doing good things or working in the Lord's vineyard. Instead, we must believe in Jesus Christ and accept him as our Lord and Savior.

Calling upon the name of the Lord is also important, as it shows that we are putting our faith in God and acknowledging his power and authority. And while being persecuted for righteousness is a sign of our faith, it is not the sole requirement for salvation.

In summary, according to the book of Romans, salvation is for those who are true worshippers of God and have faith in Jesus Christ. It is not based on our works or actions, but rather on our belief in God and acceptance of his grace.
