BIBLE QUIZ QUESTIONS ROMANS & JAMES
THE QUIZ MASTER TO THE QUIZZER: In preparing these questions, I could not help but think of the people I have known in my life who have participated and mastered Bible quizzing but have fallen from living a life which is pleasing to our Saviour. Let these questions and verses not only be in your mind for a quiz, but may they be in your heart for when you are tempted by the Evil one or tested by your Heavenly Father. Do not study these passages for the length of a day’s quizzing; learn them for life. Take heed to Peter’s warning: “Ye therefore, beloved, seeing ye know these things before, beware lest ye also, being led away with the error of the wicked, fall from your own stedfastness.” (II Peter 3:17)
