Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

Answer: Acts

This was during Peter's speech to onlookers after he (through the power of Jesus) healed a crippled beggar at the "temple gate called Beautiful." (Acts 3)

Answer: Luke

John the Baptist answered those who thought that he might be the promised messiah. He is instead the prophet who is preparing the way for the coming of Christ.

3. "For where you have envy and selfish ambition, there you find disorder and every evil practice."

Answer: James

James talks about two types of wisdom: wisdom from selfish ambition and wisdom from heaven. One will "find disorder and every evil practice" from wisdom from the wrong places, while wisdom from heaven is "pure, then peace-loving, considerate, submissive, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial, and sincere." (James 3:17)

4. "Don't you know that you yourselves are God's temple and that God's Spirit lives in you?"

Answer: I Corinthians

"If anyone destroys God's temple, God will destroy him; for God's temple is sacred, and you are that temple." (I Corinthians 3:17)

5. "... keeping a clear conscience, so that those who speak maliciously against your good behavior in Christ may be ashamed of their slander."

Answer: I Peter

(I Peter 3:15) "But in your hearts set apart Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect, (16) keeping a clear conscience, so that those who speak maliciously against your good behavior in Christ may be ashamed of their slander."

6. "The promises were spoken to Abraham and to his seed. The Scripture does not say 'and to seeds,' meaning many people, but 'and to your seed,' meaning one person, who is Christ."

Answer: Galatians

Paul goes on to say that Abraham depended on the promise long before Moses received the Law (Gal. 3:17-18). Paul says that the purpose of the law was "added because of transgressions until the Seed to whom the promise referred had come" (v. 19a).

7. "So, because you are lukewarm - neither hot nor cold - I am about to spit you out of my mouth."

Answer: Revelation

This is a message to the church in Laodicea, warning about its complacency and urging that church to repent.

8. "... ruin and misery mark their ways ..."

Answer: Romans

"Their feet are swift to shed blood; ruin and misery mark their ways, and the way of peace they do not know." (Romans 3:15-17). Paul quotes that passage from Isaiah 59:7-8.

9. "Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom, and as you sing psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs with gratitude in your hearts to God."

Answer: Colossians

Colossians 3:17 is "And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him."

10. "This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down his life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers."

Answer: I John

I John 3:17 - "If anyone has material possessions and sees his brother in need but has no pity on him, how can the love of God be in him?"

Answer: II Peter

Peter is referring to Paul's letters, which apparantly have been twisted to fit other people's messages. This is one of the rare instances of one New Testament author refers to another, so II Peter was probably written after Paul's letters came out (source: The Student Bible).

12. "I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being ..."

Answer: Ephesians

Ephesians 3:17-19 - "... so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the saints, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge - that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God."

13. "All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting, and training in righteousness..."

Answer: II Timothy

II Timothy 3:17 - "... so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work."

14. "But whenever anyone turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away."

Answer: II Corinthians

The previous four verses refer to Moses' covering his face so the Israelites don't gaze at its radiance from being in God's presence on the mountain. Paul explained that through Christ, that veil is no longer needed.

15. "As soon as Jesus was baptized, he went up out of the water. At that moment heaven was opened, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and lighting on him."

Answer: Matthew

This refers to the aftermath of Jesus' baptism. "And a voice from heaven said, 'This is my Son, whom I love; with him I am well pleased.'" (Matthew 3:17)

Answer: I Timothy

This is what Paul calls, "the pillar and foundation of the truth." (I Timothy 3:15)

17. "Who were they who heard and rebelled? Were they not all those Moses led out of Egypt?"

Answer: Hebrews

This passage is appropriate, since the book of Hebrews was intended for a Jewish audience.

18. "Only let us live up to what we have already attained."

Answer: Philippians

Paul emphasizes that nobody is perfect, but everyone should "press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me" (Philippians 3:12).

19. "Now may the Lord of peace himself give you peace at all times and in every way, the Lord be with all of you."

Answer: II Thessalonians

This is part of one of Paul's final greetings (this one to the church of the Thessalonians, of course).

20. "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."

Answer: John

Perhaps the most quoted of all Biblical passages, it summarizes the Christian faith in one sentence. Hope you enjoyed my quiz!
