it, etc.

It is the belief that after a person dies, he or she is born on earth again in either a

are poor and suffering?

You would believe that they are getting what they deserve for sins in their past lives.

5. What is a caste? What is an untouchable?

A caste is a social class into which someone is born. People cannot change from one

Jesus? Why or why not? (Matthew 25:31–45)

that will make us healthy—a place fit for the Holy Spirit to live.

need friends and others to help us too.

5. Why is clear thinking necessary to self-control?

Answers will vary but should include the idea that we cannot make right decisions if

our thinking is muddled. If we do not make right decisions, we are not controlling

ourselves.


LESSON 32

1. According to Proverbs 16:32, what is better than being powerful, and what is better than

conquering a city?

Being patient is better than being powerful, and having self-control is better than

conquering a city.

river, but she was able with God’s help to make the right choice.

understanding; those with a hasty temper will make mistakes.”

stir up anger.”

earn esteem by overlooking wrongs.”

7. Although at the end of forty days, Satan appeared to Jesus as a mighty angel, how did

Satan immediately demonstrate that he was not a good angel sent by God? The first words he spoke were “If you are the Son of God . . .” Only Satan or an evil angel would have had said “if,” thereby questioning that Jesus was God’s Son.

First, Satan tempted Jesus to change the stones into bread to prove that He was

God’s Son.

Next, Satan tempted Jesus to jump from the top of the temple in Jerusalem to

demonstrate His power.

Third, Satan offered to give the world to Jesus if He would bow down and worship him.

9. When Satan tempted Jesus to turn stones into bread, Jesus quoted a text that said,

“People can’t live only on food; they must feed on every word God says.” What does it

mean to “feed on every word God says”? It means to read God’s word, the Bible, and think about what it tells us about God and the way we are to live our lives.

nationalities and all religions—would be able to join hands and sing the words of the

Jesus told the parable to teach the Pharisees how God feels about sinners.

work with his father.

Nothing. His Father loved him all the time he was gone, was watching for him, and

parable?

God always loves us.

God welcomes sinners who repent and want to return to Him. He forgives their sins

and blesses them.

Perhaps not as obvious to students is that as the Father gave the inheritance to the

son and let him go, so God does not force us to love and serve Him.

less loved than his brother.

Both brothers sinned.

6. Which brother knew that he needed to ask for forgiveness?
