Dear Galatians Trivia Quiz

Answer: Paul

It says in Galatians 1:1, "Paul, an apostle, (not of men, neither by man, but by Jesus Christ, and God the Father, who raised him from the dead)."

Galatia was a Roman province.

Answer: Arabia

It says in Galatians 1:17, "Neither went I up to Jerusalem to them which were apostles before me; but I went into Arabia, and returned again unto Damascus."

According to the Holman Illustrated Pocket Bible Dictionary, when Paul spoke of Arabia he was most likely referring to the territory of the Nabataean Arabs.

Answer: Antioch

It says in Galatians 2:11, "But when Peter was come to Antioch, I withstood him to the face, because he was to be blamed."

Antioch was the third largest city in the Roman empire. First was Rome and second was Alexandria.

Answer: Abraham

It says in Galatians 3:6, "Even as Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness."

Righteousness comes from the Hebrew word "tsadiq" translated into the Greek word "dikaiosune".

Answer: faith

It says in Galatians 3:11, "But that no man is justified by the law in the sight of God, it is evident: for, The just shall live by faith."

Faith is a very important concept in the Bible and is mentioned in some form over 500 times.

Answer: Promise

It says in Galatians 4:28 "Now we, brethren, as Isaac was, are the children of promise."

Christians believe that this promise refers to the fact that though we are not necessarily the natural seed of Abraham, we are still entitled to the promised inheritance and interested in the blessings of it.

Answer: the Spirit

It says in Galatians 5:16, "This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh."

This goes along with another verse in the Bible. It says in I Corinthians 10:13, "There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it."

The verse says that God will not allow people to be tempted past what we can handle, and in Galatians it says to walk in the Spirit because it is the Holy Spirit which helps resist this temptation. This is what many Christians believe.

Answer: longsuffering

It says in Galatians 5:22-23 "But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance: against such there is no law."

This is contrary to earlier verses, where the Bible mentions all the things that are sins.

Answer: bear one another's burdens

It says in Galatians 6:2, "Bear ye one another's burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ."

That is, if people care about others and love them as Christ loves, they are not going to kill, lie, steal, etc. On the contrary, they will be patient, kind, gentle, etc.

Answer: whatsoever a man soweth

It says in Galatians 6:7 "Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap."

The Bible uses a lot of farm analogies. This one shows that when a farmer plants corn, for example, he would get corn, not carrots.
