Note: This is an open-book/open-notes/open-internet test. Because it is an open-book test, there is still opportunity to cheat. Do not copy and paste any answers from any other source or classmate. Answers should be typed up in your own words – I will be diligently checking your answers and if I find that you are copying words – you will get a Zero for this exam.

Just know, though it may be possible to pass this class by dishonesty, cheating, and plagiarism, ultimately, I believe that guilt is a BIG evidence for God and something that will haunt you, which I believe is God’s work in sanctifying us – ultimately – to honor Christ.

“And whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him…Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the inheritance as your reward. You are serving the Lord Christ. For the wrongdoer will be paid back for the wrong he has done, and there is no partiality.” - Col 3:17, 23-25

Pass it on! questions: There are 7 questions that I am asking you to send your answers on to others to be able to start conversations and to give them evidence for God. Be thinking of 7 people that you know that could come to know Christ or grow closer to Christ because of these evidences, your conversations with them, and your care for them.
