The common testimony between 1 Timothy 2:6 and Matthew 20:28 is that Christ was made a ____ for us.

• A. Sacrifice
• B. Ransom
• C. Propitiation
• D. King

Answer: (B)

The concept being tested is the image of Christ’s death as a payment that frees people from bondage. In 1 Timothy 2:6, Paul says Jesus gave himself as a ransom for all, to be testified in due time. In Matthew 20:28, Jesus describes giving his life as a ransom for many. Both passages present the same idea: a price was paid to redeem or liberate people from sin and its consequences. This makes ransom the best fit because it specifically conveys liberation through a paid price, whereas propitiation centers on appeasing God’s wrath, sacrifice is a broader term for giving life, and king describes authority rather than the mechanism of redemption.
