A Quiz on Romans Chapter One

Romans 1:1-7

Paul, a servant of Christ Jesus, called to be an apostle, set apart for the gospel of God, 2 which he promised beforehand through his prophets in the holy Scriptures, 3 concerning his Son, who was descended from David according to the flesh 4 and was declared to be the Son of God in power according to the Spirit of holiness by his resurrection from the dead, Jesus Christ our Lord, 5 through whom we have received grace and apostleship to bring about the obedience of faith for the sake of his name among all the nations, 6 including you who are called to belong to Jesus Christ, 7 To all those in Rome who are loved by God and called to be saints: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.


The following quiz I wrote to aid in spurring on discussion about some topics in Romans 1:1-7. Sometimes there are right and wrong answers and at other times there are exploring questions.

1. When someone is called by God, what does that calling mean? (Choose all that apply.)

A. The call of God is for a specific ministry such as apostle, prophet, or pastor for which that person is separated from a normal life.

B. A call from God is when he called Israel to be his people. It is a part of his covenant with that people.

C.A call to the nations of the earth to serve the Lord God.

2. Which of the following scriptures are most explicit about David being the father of the Messiah?

A. 2 Samuel 7:12-16
B. Psalm 89: 35b-37
C. Isaiah 9:6, 7,
D. Jeremiah 23:5, 6
E. Jeremiah 33:15-17, 26
F. Amos 9:11

3. Different views of the difference between the New Testament and the Old Testament (Only one answer is correct, the other three are wrong.)

A. The Old Testament shows a God of judgment and the New Testament shows a God of love. Jesus came to put away the God Judgment.

B. The Old Testament was when God worked with a nation, Israel but God became disgusted with their sin so he gave up on them so in the New Testament, now he works with the Church.

C. The Old Testament was when God saved people by the works of the Law and now in the New Testament saves up by us by grace.

D.The OT was a revelation of the righteous requirements of the God and his promise of redemption, the NT is where there is a fulfillment of that promise.



4. Is God more concerned with saving individuals or peoples?

A. God is not going to judge groups, each of us must stand before God alone.

B. God is concerned about people groups and individuals. Each of us will be judged as an individual primarily but also as our generation and as our nation. We are both cooperate and individual.

C. Most sins are those of the group. An individual's private life usually does not hurt anyone else.

In The Hours

In The Hours Words by Helen L. Parmelee Music by Kevin Twit http://www.igracemusic.com/hymnbook/lead/inthehours.pdf This song by Indelible Grace is one that really moves me. I think it moves me because it reminds me of my own story. The words remind me of God's work in my life through the blessing of suffering. A lot of my best days walking with my Lord has actually been days of suffering. Verse one reminds me of growing up when I felt rejected by others but God was my song. 1. In the hours of pain and sorrow, When the world brings no relief When the eye is dim and heavy, And the heart oppressed with grief While blessings flee, Savior Lord we trust in Thee! While blessings flee, Savior Lord we trust in Thee! Verse two talks about my drifting from the Lord when I was caught up in pride and the sin of self-sufficiency. 2. When the snares of death surround us, Pride, ambition, love of ease Mammon with her false allurements, Words that flatter, smiles that please Then ere we yield, S...

Was the New Testament Letters Only Written to Male Brothers?

  Question:   Was the Bible written to men only and not to women?   Some teach that the New Testament letters address brothers exclusively.      Executive Summary Answer:   Women and men share in the blessings of the gospel, Scripture was written for both women and men. So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them. (Gen. 1:27 ESV) Answer:   The Bible recognizes differences between genders but also recognizes the commonality between male and female genders.   The book of Proverbs is written to sons to gain wisdom.   “Hear, my son, your father's instruction, and forsake not your mother's teaching, for they are a graceful garland for your head and pendants for your neck.”   (Prov. 1:8-9 ESV) The book of Proverbs was written in order to teach young men wisdom.   Even so, often it is the female gender that teaches wisdom.   Early in the book, the male gender,...

Bridging the Chasm

My good friend the Jollyblogger has been writing on Bridging the Chasm , meaning the church communicating with the secular world. In the early 80's YWAM put out a pamphlet on missions prayer. One of the things they encouraged Christians to pray for was different areas of influence: * Government * Business * Media/Journalism * The Arts * Education * Entertainment (I'm not sure that is the complete list.) As I prayed for these areas of influence, I found that Christians really wrote about a couple of these in the early 80's; Government and Business. For government you had movements like the Moral Majority and Focus on the Family writing actually about a very narrow aspect of government; moral issues. Yes, I'm grouping all Focus on the Family's issues in the area of moral issues. The government is so much more than moral issues. The business issues were mostly addressed by Bill Gothard, Larry Burkett and later Ron Blue. I'm not sure how ade...
