Best Loved Bible Verses Trivia Quiz

Answer: Job

These powerful words were said by Job during the first assault of Satan upon him (Job 1:21). At first, Job proved to have great faith and a strong foundation of trust in God. Soon, however, as Job's suffering continued, he started to complain to his friends and doubt God's kindness. By the end of this ancient book of the Bible, Job's commitment to God was restored.

I love the powerful truth that this verse expresses - Job says we enter and leave this world with nothing, and all is dependent on God.

Answer: Romans

The verse can be found in Romans 8:28. This is one of my favorite Bible verses because, according to my Christian belief, this verse means that even if you're going through a tough time or you're in a questionable situation, God will make it work to your good. This verse can really bring you hope when you're in situations like that.

Question by J-Zilch.

Answer: Isaiah 61:1-2 and Luke 4:18-19

This text appears first in Isaiah 61, in the opening verses interpreted as offering the promise of God's salvation. They are quoted by Jesus, as recorded in Luke, when he reads in the synagogue of Nazareth, and the core of Jesus' sermon which follows is summed up in Luke 4:21, when Jesus says, "Today this Scripture is fulfilled in your hearing."

Question contributed by Rimrunner.

Answer: Isaiah

Paul says, "As it is written" and he is quoting from Isaiah 64:4. What a wonderful promise to look forward to and one that is worth striving for, and yet so easy, for all Paul says one has to do is to love God and keep his commandments. Even in the face of repeated failures, the apostle John wrote, "If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness" (1 John 1:9). What could be easier than that?

Question by Birdman585.

Answer: Parable of the Lost Sheep

The correct answer is that the verse appears at the conclusion of the Parable of the Lost Sheep. In the parable, Jesus tells of a man who has 100 sheep and loses one of them. Although he still has 99 sheep, the man makes a point of going out to find the missing one and when he finds it, he rejoices with his friends and neighbors. Jesus, in the parable, is saying there is more rejoicing in heaven over the one person who repents (the lost sheep that is found) than over 99 righteous people (the sheep that are safe and sound).

Answer: Martha at the raising of Lazarus

Jesus spoke these words in response to Martha who was bemoaning the fact that Jesus had arrived too late to save her brother Lazarus. She said he might have lived and been healed had Jesus arrived before he died. However, Jesus delayed his arrival to show also that he also had the power over death itself and that Lazarus would be raised. What a wonderful promise for those who believe!

Question by happytalk.

Answer: Galatians

The verse is Galatians 2:20.

I love this reading because Paul expresses within it how his total being has been consumed by Jesus. He is so intimate with Jesus that he has suffered on the cross with him; Paul has died and Christ is now the only life in him; and, he writes, his life is now one of absolute faith in his Savior who loved him.

Answer: Proverbs

This passage is found in the book of Proverbs and is verses 5 and 6 of chapter 3. These are some of my favourite verses. When I read it, I believe that God knows what is best for me and even though I may not understand everything that happens around me, God is in control.

Answer: Ephesians 2

This is Ephesians 2:8; it states that human salvation depends upon God's grace, and the text goes on to say in verse 9, "not of works, lest anyone should boast." The seven verses in Ephesians 2:4-10 contains no less than three well-known texts, and much more! Read it for yourself, and see!

Question by Rimrunner.

Answer: The Son of God

Verse 25 begins with the king answering his advisors (counsellors) after they confirmed that only three men had been thrown into the furnace -
"He answered and said, Lo, I see four men loose, walking in the midst of the fire, and they have no hurt; and the form of the fourth is like the Son of God."

Before this, in verse 22, we see that the men who threw Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego into the fire were themselves consumed by the blast of heat and died immediately. Remarkably, the intended victims survived IN the fiery furnace.

While Christians believe that Jesus is the Son of God, it is noteworthy that, hundreds of years before Christ's birth, this pagan king recognized the likeness of the Son of God by sight.

Question by logcrawler.

Answer: possessions

Whatever your personal religion may be (unless, perhaps, it is materialism!) I suggest that in the world we live in today, these are wise words. This verse argues that there is such a thing as 'sufficient', beyond which we don't need more, and should not want more.

Question by Rimrunner.

Answer: Jacob

Jacob sent his sons to Egypt to buy grain, but he kept his youngest son from going with them. He had already lost his favorite son Joseph and he had had a lot of trouble with his other sons. He decided to let the younger son Benjamin go to Egypt the second time round, but he was not too convinced for one other brother had been kept in jail in Egypt on their first journey. Jacob said these words to his sons, "And God Almighty give you mercy before the man, that he may send away your other brother, and Benjamin. If I be bereaved of my children, I am bereaved." Genesis 43:14 (KJV)

Question by Donna39.

Answer: The 24 Elders in Revelation

This verse takes place in Revelation 4:11; just prior, the elders throw themselves down on the ground before the throne and cast their crowns to the ground so to fully worship God.

This verse is one of my favorites due to its image of power, as men of great strength throw themselves down before the Lord in worship.

Question by star_gazer.

Answer: creation

Whatever translation you prefer, the meaning is the same: whoever is in Jesus Christ, is created again, brand new. See Ephesians chapters 1 and 2 where we are told that God has placed Christians in Christ.

Question by Rimrunner.

Answer: 1 John 3:16

I love this verse because it reminds me of what I feel it really means to be a disciple of Jesus.
By 'lay down our lives for the brethren' the verse refers to, yes, being willing to die; but even harder, being willing to live first and even entirely for the benefit of one's brothers and sisters in Christ rather than for oneself.

None of the incorrect answers exist: Jude and Philemon only have one chapter, and Titus ends with Titus 3:15.
