Answer Details
According to Peter, the genuineness of faith is tested through trials. This means that when a person faces difficult circumstances, their faith is tested to see if it is genuine or not. Genuine faith is demonstrated through perseverance and trust in God even in the midst of trials and difficulties. It involves a deep conviction and commitment to God's promises and His character, even when circumstances seem to contradict them. Faith that is not genuine may falter or fall away when faced with challenges or adversity. Therefore, trials can serve as a way to refine and strengthen a person's faith.

Answer Details
The statement of Paul, "For as many of you that were baptized in Christ have put on Christ", implies that all those who are baptized in Christ are a new creation. This means that they are no longer the same person they used to be before their baptism. They have become a new person, a child of God, and have put on the righteousness of Christ. They have been forgiven of their sins and are now reconciled to God. As a result, they should live a new life in accordance with their new identity in Christ and should no longer be identified with their old self. They should strive to live a holy life and follow the example of Christ in all that they do.

This gives us hope and comfort in the face of death, knowing that death is not the end and that we will be together again in the presence of God.
Question 11 Report
Sin has no dominion over those who are under
Answer Details
In the Christian doctrine, sin is considered to be disobedience to God's laws and commands, leading to separation from Him. However, those who believe in Jesus Christ and accept Him as their Lord and Savior are said to be under grace. Grace refers to God's unmerited favor and love towards humanity, which allows believers to receive forgiveness of sins and eternal life. Therefore, sin has no dominion or power over those who are under grace, as they have been set free from its control and condemnation by the sacrifice of Jesus Christ on the cross. This is based on the teachings of the apostle Paul in the New Testament book of Romans.
