Bible Trivia Quiz | Ways to Live Ready Every Day | Digging Deeper

Question 1. After describing the heavens and earth being dissolved, Peter asks what kind of people we ought to be. How does he answer?

Answer: People “in all holy conversation and godliness” (2 Peter 3:11).

Context & Exhortation: Peter had just described the heavens passing away and the earth being burned up (3:10). 

In the King James wording, “conversation” means our whole way of life, not only our speech.

Peter draws a practical conclusion from a big truth. What we believe about the future should shape how we live now.

Peter says we are “looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God” (3:12). In his first letter, he wrote, “be ye holy in all manner of conversation” (1 Peter 1:15).

So what are we required to do? Let our hope for tomorrow shape our choices today, in our home, our work and our private life.

Question 2. In 2 Peter 3, how does Peter say believers should be found when the Lord comes?

Answer: In peace, without spot, and blameless (2 Peter 3:14).

Context & Exhortation: Peter tells his readers to “be diligent” about this (3:14). Readiness does not happen by accident; it takes effort.

Being found in peace means being at peace with God through Christ, and also doing our part to live at peace with people. Peace with God is a gift; peace with others takes daily work.

Peter warns, “beware lest ye also, being led away with the error of the wicked, fall from your own stedfastness” (2 Peter 3:17). The way to keep from falling, he says, is to keep growing: “grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ” (2 Peter 3:18).

Family, we must keep growing in our faith, and don’t let sin or quarrels build up. We must confess to God quickly, and make things right with people as soon as we can. If we need to make peace with someone, we are encouraged to do it soon.

Question 3. According to 1 John 3, what does everyone who has the hope of seeing Christ do?

Answer: He purifies himself, even as Christ is pure (1 John 3:3).

Context & Exhortation: John writes, “now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be” (3:2). But he is sure of one thing: when Christ appears, “we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is” (3:2).

Real hope changes how we live. If we expect to see Jesus and be like Him, we will want to become more like Him now.

Jesus said, “Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God” (Matthew 5:8). Paul wrote, “let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit” (2 Corinthians 7:1).

The word is: let our hope of seeing Jesus keep us clean. What is that one area of our lives that needs purifying? Give it to Jesus and let Him fix it. 

Question 4. According to Titus 2, the grace of God teaches us to deny two things. What are they?

Answer: Ungodliness and worldly lusts (Titus 2:12).

Context & Exhortation: Paul wrote to Titus, who was leading the churches on the island of Crete. He said that “the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men” (2:11).

Grace does not only forgive us. It also trains us to say no to what is wrong and to live differently. Grace is a teacher, not just a pardon.

Family, we are to live “soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world; looking for that blessed hope” (2:12–13). Christ “gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity” (2:14).

Let us not treat grace as permission to sin. Let it teach us. And we should ask God for strength to say no to everything that is holding us back.

Question 5. Hebrews tells believers to do something “so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.” What is it?

Answer: Keep meeting together and encouraging one another (Hebrews 10:25).

Context & Exhortation: Hebrews was written to Jewish believers under pressure, some of whom were tempted to drift away from the faith. It says, “let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works” (10:24), and it warns against giving up meeting together, “as the manner of some is” (10:25).

Staying ready is not something we can do alone. We need each other, and we need each other more, not less, as the day gets closer.

The early church “continued stedfastly in the apostles’ doctrine and fellowship” (Acts 2:42). Hebrews also says, “exhort one another daily, while it is called To day” (3:13).

Family, let us stay connected to one another, stay in fellowship with God’s people. Thank God for the fellowship that we have here at ZJoyVI as we meet here day after day.

Question 6. What did John say will give believers confidence, and keep them from shame, when Christ appears?

Answer: Abiding in Him (1 John 2:28).

Context & Exhortation: John wrote this letter as an elderly apostle to believers he called “little children”. He urged them to “abide in him; that, when he shall appear, we may have confidence, and not be ashamed before him at his coming” (2:28).

To abide means to stay, to remain and to live in. Confidence on that day comes from closeness today.

Jesus taught the same thing on the night before He died: “Abide in me, and I in you” (John 15:4), and “without me ye can do nothing” (John 15:5).

Family, let us stay close to Jesus day by day through prayer, His Word and obedience, so that we can meet Him with confidence.
