Full Text of This Product
If you are interested in studying the Bible, we want to encourage you and to help you; and God is more interested in encouraging and helping you than anybody else could be. Believe it or not, He designed the Bible with you in mind, and so designed it that we must learn to know Him and to depend on Him to really understand it. After all, God gave us the Bible so that we may learn to know Him and learn to depend on Him.
The Bible is God’s Word, with two main parts—the Old Testament and the New Testament. The Old Testament gives the history of this world, mankind, and sin; and it predicts the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ, the Savior.
The New Testament is about the Lord Jesus Christ. It contains 27 books—four Gospels, the book of Acts, the letters (epistles) of Paul, James, Peter, John, and Jude—and it ends with the book of Revelation.
On the following pages, there are some questions. Read each question carefully, look for the answer in the New Testament, according to the reference supplied at the end of the question. Most Bibles and New Testaments have an index in the front to help you find the book mentioned. The first number in the reference (and the larger print numbers in the Bible) are chapter numbers. The numbers after the colon (:) and the smaller print numbers in the New Testament are verse numbers. When you have found the answer, write the answer, as it relates to you, in your own words, in the space provided. If you need help in this, ask God for it. You do not need to copy the whole verse. Please print neatly so that whoever may check your work can read what you wrote.
