JAMB Christian Religious Knowledge 2022 Paper

Concept:Paul teaches that each gift from God must be practised with the right attitude, and mercy requires cheerfulness.Explanation:In $\mathrm{Romans}\;12{:}6\!-\!8$, Paul lists several spiritual gifts and the correct way to use them.The relevant verse says, “he who gives aid, in zeal; he who does acts of mercy, with cheerfulness” (RSV).Thus, “acts of mercy” are clearly joined to the word “cheerfulness.”Zeal is paired with giving aid, and liberality is paired with giving.Faith is linked to prophecy in the same passage, not to mercy.The supplied options therefore do not exactly contain the biblical answer.A correct option would read “with cheerfulness” or “cheerfully.”Answer:Anyone who does acts of mercy should do so with cheerfulness, according to $\mathrm{Romans}\;12{:}8$.None of the listed options matches this wording exactly, so the options given appear to contain an error.
