We enter the kingdom of God based upon ____ and ____ in the finished work of Jesus Christ, King and Lord.

• A. Faith
• B. Repentance; Faith
• C. Repentance; Baptism
• D. Confession; Faith

Answer: (B)

Entering the kingdom of God comes from a twofold response to Jesus’ finished work: turning from sin and trusting in Him. Repentance means a sincere turning away from lived rebellion against God—a change of mind that leads to a changed life. Faith is then placing full trust in Jesus as Savior and King, relying on His death and resurrection for forgiveness and new life. Together, these responses acknowledge our need for salvation and submit to Christ’s redemptive work, which is the ground of our entry into His kingdom. The other options don’t capture both essential elements: faith alone can miss the call to repentance; repentance alone lacks reliance on Christ’s completed work; baptism or confession are important expressions, but they’re not presented here as the sole basis for entry.
