Each one with the model answer underneath.

  1. 1

    What does Judaism teach about good actions?

    Model answer

    Good actions are acts that obey God's commands and show kindness, justice and mercy. Jews believe God sees and rewards every good deed.

  2. 2

    What happens in Exodus 33 when Moses asks to see God's glory?

    Model answer

    God agrees to make all his goodness pass before Moses and to proclaim his name. Moses may not see God's face, since no one can see it and live.

  3. 3

    How does Exodus 33 show God rewarding a good person?

    Model answer

    God tells Moses that he has found favour in God's sight and is known by name. Moses' faithfulness is rewarded with a unique closeness to God.

  4. 4

    What does Exodus 33:19 teach about God's nature?

    God says he will be gracious to whom he will be gracious and show mercy to whom he will show mercy. God's goodness and mercy are freely given.

  5. 5

    How do Jews believe evil actions are punished?

    Model answer

    Evil actions may be punished in this life, through courts or consequences, or after death. God judges all actions and always offers the chance to repent.

    Why does God allow people to choose evil, according to Judaism?

    Model answer

    God gives humans free will so that their goodness can be real. Goodness only matters if people can also choose evil.
