I've spent the last couple of week studying for my state insurance exams, and today I started thinking about tests. If you were given a test on the Bible, would you pass??
Knowing what we believe is extremely important, and we should all spend time regularly studying our Bibles. To brush up on some basic Bible stories, I'm going to start posting Bible questions on my blog regularly, and maybe we'll all learn something new!!
Ephesians 6 tells us this:
10 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. 11 Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. 12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. 13 Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. 14 Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, 15 and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. 16 In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. 17 Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.
God has given us His Word as a piece of armor, but it is only helpful if we USE IT. To use it, we must first know it, which is why studying the Bible is so important.
Here are a few basic questions about the Bible to get us started. If you know the answers, great!! If you don't know the answers, this is a great opportunity for you to look them up and learn!
1. How many books are in the Bible?
2. What four books make up the Gospels?
3. Who built an ark?
4. Who was cast into the lions' den?
5. Who fought Goliath?
6. What two cities did God destroy for their sin?
7. What is the last book of the Old Testament?
8. Where did Jesus go to pray with his disciples before being captured?
9. What was the name of the tree from which Eve ate the fruit?
10. Which disciple walked on the water towards Jesus?
If you have any questions about the Bible you think I should post, email me!! I'd love to hear your suggestions!! rhondascakes@ymail.com
Dear God,
Thank you for giving us the Bible as armor, and help us to use it every day to draw closer to you and to further your kingdom.
In Jesus' name,
Amen.
