BIBLE STUDY QUESTIONS
LESSON 2

These Bible study questions were created to provide assistance to those who wish to study God’s will directly from the Bible.  The answers are quite clear, and they prove that we can have the same understanding as the apostles had by reading what they wrote (Ephesians 3:4).  We challenge you to open your Bible and establish the truth.  Please answer each question with a Yes or No based upon the information obtained from studying the verses from God’s Word. 

ON OLD TESTAMENT LAW  

  1. Hebrews 8:6-8 – Did the first covenant have fault?
    Finding fault with it, did God seek a place for a second?
  1. Colossians 2:14 – Were the ordinances of the law taken out of the way when Christ died on the cross?
  1. Ephesians 2:15-16 – Did Christ abolish the law of commandments in order toreconcile both Jew and Gentile in His one body?
  1. Romans 7:1-7 – Are we now delivered from the law?
  1. 1 Corinthians 9:20-21 – If we are not under the law of Moses, does this mean that we are without law to God (that is, not under any law)?
  1. Galatians 3:23-25 – Before faith came, were men living under the law of Moses?
    Is this law called a schoolmaster to lead us to Christ?
    Are we still under the schoolmaster now that faith has come?
    Are we still under the Old Testament law?
  1. John 12:48 – Will you be judged by the word of Christ in the judgment?
    Will yoube judged by the words of Mohammed, Joseph Smith, Mary Baker Eddy, Martin Luther or any other man in the last day?
    If we follow the teaching of men, does this show we have faith in Jesus Christ?

ON THE VALUE OF THE NEW TESTAMENT  

  1. Ephesians 3:3-5 – Were the New Testament scriptures written so a person can read and understand what God’s will is?
    Do you think that this is your personal responsibility?
  1. 2 Timothy 3:16-17 – Are the scriptures (or writings) sufficient to furnish man thoroughly and completely to all good works?
  1. John 16:13 – Did Jesus promise the apostles in the first century that they would be guided into all truth?
  1. 2 Peter 1:3 – Did the first century Christians lack anything that pertained unto life and Godliness?
  1. 1 Peter 1:23-25 – Was the word of the Lord (the gospel) to pass away after being revealed? If all of God’s truth was revealed in the New Testament and abides today, do we need additional revelation today?
  1. Hebrews 8:8-13 – Is it your understanding that the New Testament is God’s complete law to guide us in our age and that you are now living under that law?
    Does this make the Old Testament any less truthful?

ON GOD’S GRACE

  1. Romans 3:21-31 – Does anyone merit salvation?
    Could anyone merit salvation by the law of Moses?
    Will anyone be able to claim salvation based on their good deeds?
  1. Luke 17:9-10 – Even if we had the heart and mind to do everything that God tells us to do today, could we take credit for that?
  1. Titus 3:4-7 – Are we saved by the works that we do ourselves?
  1. Titus 3:8 – Are we to be careful to maintain good works?
    Should they be the works commanded by God?
  1. 18 . Ephesians 2:8-9 – Is salvation of ourselves?
    Is salvation of works?
    Is salvation a gift of God?
  1. Ephesians 2:10 – If we have been created in Christ Jesus, is it for good works?
    Was it God who prepared these works?
  1. (????????????)
    Is there any scripture in the Bible that teaches that man is savedwithout doing anything?
    Can you give an example of a Biblical character that was saved without doing anything (see Hebrew chapter 11)?
    Do the scriptures above teach that there are no conditions to our salvation?
  1. Joshua 6:2,16
    Prior to the conquest of Jericho, did God state that He had already given it to them?
    Was Jericho a free gift of God to the children of Israel?

  1. Joshua 6 – If the children of Israel had not been obedient to the commands of God, would He still have given it to them?
    Does their obedience make it any less a gift?
  1. Mark 10:29-30 – Is there any service which we can give to God for which wewill not receive more than we give?
    Is there any way that we can earn or justify our salvation?
