God is Love Trivia Quiz

Answer: 1 John

John is described in the Bible in John 13:23 as being close to Jesus. In 1 John 4:7-8 he says "Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God. Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is Love." This is also mentioned in 1 John 4:16.

Answer: John 3:16

John 3:16 has been widely quoted in New Testaments, Bibles and Biblical literature around the world. John says "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life." Similarly 1 John 4:9-10 says, "This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him.

This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins." - NIV Bible

Answer: 9

In numerous places all across the Bible the loving kindness of God is mentioned or pictured. Jeremiah 9:23-24 says: "Let not the wise boast of their wisdom or the strong boast of their strength or the rich boast of their riches, but let the one who boasts boast about this: that they have the understanding to know me, that I am the LORD, who exercises kindness(love), justice and righteousness on earth, for in these I delight," declares the LORD. - NIV Bible

Answer: unfailing

God's love, especially in the Book of Psalms, is often emphasised as unfailing or constant. Psalm 33:4-5 says " For the word of the LORD is right and true; he is faithful in all he does. The LORD loves righteousness and justice; the earth is full of his unfailing love." - NIV Bible

Answer: Ezekiel

Ezekiel is the third of the Major Prophets in the Tanakh following Isaiah and Jeremiah, whose name in Hebrew signifies 'May God strengthen him'. In Ezekiel 33:31-32 God describes the people's attitude to Ezekiel, "My people come to you, as they usually do, and sit before you to hear your words, but they do not put them into practice.

Their mouths speak of love, but their hearts are greedy for unjust gain. Indeed, to them you are nothing more than one who sings love songs with a beautiful voice and plays an instrument well, for they hear your words but do not put them into practice." - NIV Bible.

The prophet is also described elsewhere in the Book of Ezekiel 24:16 as an affectionate person in his spousal relationship.
