SECTION B
1A. Summarize the story of Elijah to Mount Carmel according to 1st Kings 18:17-46
- Elijah, a prophet of God, challenged the prophets of Baal to a contest to prove whose god was real. The challenge was to call on their gods to send fire to consume a sacrifice. Despite the prophets of Baal crying out and cutting themselves, no fire came. Elijah then prepared his sacrifice, drenched it with water, and prayed to God. God answered by sending fire that consumed the sacrifice, the wood, and even the water. The people declared the Lord to be the true God, and Elijah had the prophets of Baal executed.
1B. List three lessons learned from the action of Elijah:
- Faith in God: Elijah trusted in God’s power to prove His supremacy.

2A. Explain how Christians should live among non-Christians according to 1st Peter 2:1-25:
- Christians are urged to live with humility, love, and integrity.

2B. According to Peter’s description of Christians, how should Christians live their life?

- God is the final judge: He will hold all people accountable for their actions.
- Explain the second coming of Jesus Christ:
- The second coming of Jesus Christ refers to the future event when Jesus will return to earth in glory. He will judge the living and the dead, and establish God’s Kingdom. It is a time of hope for believers, as they will be reunited with Christ.
