Therefore, the correct option is "only God worthy of worship is Yahweh".

Maelezo ya Majibu

Maelezo ya Majibu
According to the prophet Amos, true religion consists in purity of heart and righteousness. Amos criticized the Israelites for their insincere and superficial religious practices, such as attending church services, making contributions towards all church programmes, and fasting and making sacrifices to God, while neglecting justice and mercy towards others. He emphasized the importance of living a life of integrity, seeking justice for the oppressed and downtrodden, and showing compassion and kindness to others. Therefore, true religion according to Amos is not about external rituals and practices, but rather about the inward attitude of the heart and the way one treats others.

Maelezo ya Majibu
The prophet who proclaimed the new covenant of God with Israel and Judah was Jeremiah. Jeremiah was a prophet who lived during the time of the Babylonian exile. He prophesied to the people of Judah and Jerusalem, warning them of the coming destruction and exile, but also giving them hope for the future. One of his most important prophecies was the announcement of a new covenant between God and Israel, which would be different from the old covenant made at Sinai. The new covenant would be written on people's hearts, and God's law would be internalized, rather than just external rules to be followed. This idea of a new covenant is significant in both Jewish and Christian theology, and is seen as a promise of a future redemption.

Maelezo ya Majibu
The invaluable reward that Christ received for his unequaled humility was that every knee bows at his name. This means that every person, both in heaven and on earth, will acknowledge and submit to the authority of Jesus Christ. This was prophesied in the book of Isaiah and affirmed by Paul in the New Testament. By humbling himself and becoming obedient to the point of death on the cross, Christ was exalted and given a name that is above every other name. This reward is a testament to the glory and power of God and serves as an inspiration for believers to follow in the footsteps of Christ and strive for humility and obedience in their own lives.

According to Paul in Galatians, man's freedom came with the coming of Jesus. Paul explains that the law was like a guardian that kept people in check until the coming of Christ.

Through Christ's death and resurrection, people were able to be reconciled with God and receive the Holy Spirit, which empowers them to live a life of freedom from sin and death. Therefore, man's freedom came with the coming of Jesus, who fulfilled the law and made it possible for people to be justified by faith in Him.

Maelezo ya Majibu
The statement "I am the resurrection and the life" implies that Jesus is the source of eternal life and that He has the power to raise the dead. However, it does not necessarily imply that all men will attain eternal life or that Jesus will grant resurrection and life to the righteous regardless of their actions. Rather, it emphasizes the centrality of Jesus in the plan of salvation and the importance of faith in Him as the way to eternal life. Jesus' deeds are indeed the true signs of God's glory, and belief in Him as the Son of God is a crucial aspect of the Christian faith.

However, he then turned to his younger advisors, who urged him to increase the burden on the people instead. Rehoboam followed their advice, and as a result, ten of the tribes of Israel rebelled against him and formed the northern kingdom of Israel, leaving Rehoboam with only the tribes of Judah and Benjamin in the southern kingdom of Judah.

He is not only the gate, but also the good shepherd who cares for his sheep and leads them to safety. Therefore, his claim implies that he is the way of salvation and that we can only come to God through him.
