Can You Correctly Answer 20 Questions from the Bible?

The 20 Question Bible Quiz is in “The Connection” newspaper this week.  The online post can be seen at the following link:

Do you love God?  Most people would answer yes. But do you know how God determines if you love Him?  If you read John 14:15-24 you would see that those who love God are the people that obey His Word. According to Jesus, those who do not obey God’s Word do not love God (John 14:24). This is just one of the reasons the Word of God is so important. I challenge you to take the following 20 question Bible quiz to discover or review many more reasons. All these questions come directly from the scripture that follows them. 

1. What lights our paths?  (Psalm 119:105) – The Word of God
2. Heaven and earth will pass away, but what will remain forever?  (Mark 13:31 and Isaiah 40:8) – The Word of God

4. What weapon has God has given us to fight in this spiritual battle?  (Hebrews 4:12) – The Word of God

The Word of God is the answer to all 20 questions!  If individuals, families, and countries were putting God and His Word first in their lives (Matthew 6:33), there would be much fewer problems today.  Hosea 4:6 says, “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge.”  Knowledge comes from God and His Word (Proverbs 2:6).  So, we could switch out knowledge for God’s Word in Hosea 4:6, [My people are destroyed for lack of God’s Word!]  God does not want anyone to perish (2 Peter 3:9), but he will not force us to read and obey His Word.  This is a choice that we must make in our own lives.  Choose today to read the Word of God daily, hide it in your heart, and do what it says.  As you do, Joshua 1:8 says then your way will be prosperous and successful.  Start out by reading Psalm 119.  As you read, take notice of all the references the writer makes to the Word of God and how highly he regards the Word. 

It is also very important to get plugged in to a church where you can be encouraged and equipped with the Word of God (Hebrews 10:25).  If you came to an AIM church service, it would not be abnormal for you to hear over 100 different scriptures.  You would also be encouraged to memorize God’s Word.  I am not telling you to come to AIM, because God has a unique plan for your life (Jeremiah 29:11).  I encourage you to pray and ask for God’s direction as to where He would want you to attend church. If you truly humble yourself before Him, He will direct your steps (Psalm 25:9, Proverbs 3:5-6).
