How can we who died to sin still live in it?  (3)  Or do you not know that as many as were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death?  (4)  Therefore we have been buried with him through baptism into death, in order that just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, so we too may live a new life.  (5)  For if we have become united with him in the likeness of his death, we will certainly also be united in the likeness of his resurrection.  (6)  We know that our old man was crucified with him so that the body of sin would no longer dominate us, so that we would no longer be enslaved to sin.  (7)  (For someone who has died has been freed from sin.)  (8)  Now if we died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with him.”

Question #23: Do You Realize That If You Said “No” To Q1-20, Jesus Will Say He Doesn’t Know You? 

-Fact 1: Matthew 7:21-23 “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter into the kingdom of heaven – only the one who does the will of my Father in heaven.  (22)  On that day, many will say to me, ‘Lord, Lord, didn’t we prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many powerful deeds in your name?’  (23)  Then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you. Go away from me, you lawbreakers!’”

-Fact 2: 1 John 3:4-6 “Everyone who practices sin also practices lawlessness; indeed, sin is lawlessness.  (5)  And you know that Jesus was revealed to take away sins, and in him there is no sin.  (6)  Everyone who resides in him does not sin; everyone who sins has neither seen him nor known him.”

Question #24: Do You Realize That  If You Don’t Obey God, Then You Are A Child Of The Devil, Not God, And That You Are Not A Christian?

-Fact 1: 1 John 3:7-10 “Little children, let no one deceive you: The one who practices righteousness is righteous, just as Jesus is righteous.  (8)  The one who practices sin is of the devil, because the devil has been sinning from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was revealed: to destroy the works of the devil.  (9)  Everyone who has been fathered by God does not practice sin, because God’s seed resides in him, and thus he is not able to sin, because he has been fathered by God.  (10)  By this the children of God and the children of the devil are revealed: Everyone who does not practice righteousness – the one who does not love his fellow Christian – is not of God.”

-Fact 2: John 8:42-47 “Jesus replied, “If God were your Father, you would love me, for I have come from God and am now here. I have not come on my own initiative, but he sent me.  (43)  Why don’t you understand what I am saying? It is because you cannot accept my teaching.  (44)  You people are from your father the devil, and you want to do what your father desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not uphold the truth, because there is no truth in him. Whenever he lies, he speaks according to his own nature, because he is a liar and the father of lies.  (45)  But because I am telling you the truth, you do not believe me.  (46)  Who among you can prove me guilty of any sin? If I am telling you the truth, why don’t you believe me?  (47)  The one who belongs to God listens and responds to God’s words. You don’t listen and respond, because you don’t belong to God.

Question #25: Do You Now Realize That Your Beliefs/Faith Is Not Enough To Be A Christian, That You Must Obey And Do Better Than The Devil?

-Fact 1: James 2:17-26 “Even so, if it does not have works, faith is dead, being by itself.  (18)  But someone will say, You have faith, and I have works. Show me your faith without your works, and I will show you my faith from my works.  (19)  You believe that there is one God, you do well; even the demons believe and tremble.  (20)  But will you know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead?  (21)  Was not Abraham our father justified by works when he had offered Isaac his son upon the altar?  (22)  Do you see how faith worked with his works, and from the works faith was made complete?  (23)  And the Scripture was fulfilled which says, "Abraham believed God, and it was imputed to him for righteousness, and he was called the friend of God."  (24)  You see then how a man is justified by works, and not by faith only.  (25)  And in the same way, was not Rahab the harlot also justified by works when she had received the messengers and had sent them out another way?  (26)  For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.”

-Fact 2: 3 John 1:11 “Beloved, do not imitate the bad, but the good. He who does good is from God, but he who does evil has not seen God.”

-Fact 3: Ephesians 2:8-10 “For by grace you are saved through faith, and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God,  (9)  not of works, lest anyone should boast.  (10)  For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to good works, which God has before ordained that we should walk in them.”

Question #26: If You Have Answered Correctly To All The Above Questions, Do You Then Believe You Will Receive A Bodily Resurrection, To Live Forever With God?

-Fact 1: John 5:26-29 “For as the Father has life in himself, even so he gave to the Son also to have life in himself.  (27)  He also gave him authority to execute judgment, because he is a son of man.  (28)  Don’t marvel at this, for the hour comes, in which all that are in the tombs will hear his voice,  (29)  and will come out; those who have done good, to the resurrection of life; and those who have done evil, to the resurrection of judgment.”

-Fact 2: 1 Corinthians 15:21-24 “For since death came by man, the resurrection of the dead also came by man.  (22)  For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ all will be made alive.  (23)  But each in his own order: Christ the first fruits, then those who are Christ’s, at his coming.  (24)  Then the end comes, when he will deliver up the Kingdom to God, even the Father; when he will have abolished all rule and all authority and power.”

-Fact 3: 1 Corinthians 15:52-54  “in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we will be changed.  (53)  For this perishable body must become imperishable, and this mortal must put on immortality.  (54)  But when this perishable body will have become imperishable, and this mortal will have put on immortality, then what is written will happen: “Death is swallowed up in victory.”

Question #27: Do You Now Understand That It Is Those Who Call Jesus Lord (Master) & Savior And By Obeying Him, That Will Be Received Into God’s Heaven? That They Will Receive Eternal Life?

-Fact 1: Revelation 14:12-13 “Here is the perseverance of the saints, those who keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.”  (13)  I heard a voice from heaven saying, “Write, ‘Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from now on.’” “Yes,” says the Spirit, “that they may rest from their labors; for their works follow with them.”

-Fact 2: Revelation 22:12-14 “Behold, I come quickly. My reward is with me, to repay to each man according to his work.  (13)  I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End.  (14)  Blessed are those who do his commandments, that they may have the right to the tree of life, and may enter in by the gates into the city.

Congratulations!!: If you passed with a 100%, you can rightly call yourselves a “Bible-believing, spirit-taught, blood-bought Christian”. You might have learned a lot of new things you never believed before today, and that is okay. All we can do is live up to the light of truth we have been shown. As they say, we are not responsible for what we don’t know, but what we could have known and rejected.  You might have been a Christian with childlike faith, not having the fullness of truth before today. Now you can mature into a firm faith as a fully developed believer. Jesus has grace and mercy for those who are growing and learning, but not to those who reject the truth and deny the facts. 

John 4:23-24 “But the hour comes, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for the Father seeks such to be his worshipers.  (24) God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship in spirit and truth.”
