In preparing for your WAEC CRK (Christian Religious Knowledge) exams, understanding key biblical stories is crucial. These stories form the backbone of many of the questions you will encounter. The following comprehensive lesson note outlines essential biblical accounts that are significant for your CRK studies.
Creation and The Fall of Man
One of the foundational stories in the Bible is the Creation and the Fall of Man, found in the Book of Genesis. God created the world in six days and rested on the seventh. He created Adam and Eve and placed them in the Garden of Eden with a simple command: not to eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. Disobedience led to their fall, bringing sin and death into the world. This story is fundamental as it explains the concept of sin, free will, and the human condition.
The Story of Noah and the Flood
The narrative of Noah and the Flood, also in Genesis, shows God's justice and mercy. Dissatisfied with mankind's wickedness, God decides to destroy the world with a flood. However, He spares Noah, a righteous man, his family, and pairs of each animal. This story highlights themes of obedience, divine judgment, and covenant, as God promises never to destroy the earth by flood again, sealing His promise with a rainbow.
The Call of Abraham
Abraham, originally Abram, receives a call from God to leave his home and go to a land that God will show him. This story, located in Genesis, marks the beginning of the covenant between God and the people of Israel. Abraham's faith and obedience become a model for believers. He is promised countless descendants and becomes the father of many nations, symbolizing the rewards of faith and devotion.
Moses and the Exodus
The story of Moses and the Exodus is a cornerstone of the Old Testament. Moses is chosen by God to lead the Israelites out of slavery in Egypt. This account includes ten plagues, the Passover, and the Parting of the Red Sea, demonstrating God's power and faithfulness. The journey to Mount Sinai, where Moses receives the Ten Commandments, is also crucial, representing God’s laws and covenant with His people.
David and Goliath
The battle between David and Goliath, found in 1 Samuel, is a powerful story of faith and courage. David, a young shepherd, defeats Goliath, a Philistine giant, with a single stone and a sling. This story teaches that faith in God can overcome seemingly insurmountable odds. It highlights themes of divine support, bravery, and leadership, as David later becomes one of Israel’s greatest kings.
