Liberty University |100-Question Blackboard Exam.
PART A: SCRIPTURE RECOGNITION & KEY VERSES DRILL (Questions 1–15)
Format: Fill-in-the-blank and matching. Know these verses in NIV by heart.
Question 1 (Fill-in-the-Blank)
"Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?" Jesus replied: "Love
the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your
mind. This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: Love
your neighbor as yourself. All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two
commandments."
Answer: Matthew 22:36–40
Rationale: This is the Great Commandment passage. Jesus summarizes the
entire Law into two love commands—love God supremely and love neighbor as
self. Exam Tip: Watch for distractors that quote Mark 12:30–31 (parallel
passage). The exam specifies Matthew 22:36–40.
Question 2 (Fill-in-the-Blank)
"When he saw the crowds, he had compassion on them, because they were
harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd. Then he said to his
disciples, 'The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the
harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field.'"
Answer: Matthew 9:36–38
, 2
Rationale: This passage establishes the motivation for evangelism (compassion)
and the need for prayer before going. Jesus sees the lost condition of people and
calls for prayer for laborers. High-Yield Pearl: The phrase "harvest is plentiful but
the workers are few" is a classic exam favorite.
Question 3 (Fill-in-the-Blank)
"Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of
the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey
everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very
end of the age."
Answer: Matthew 28:19–20 (The Great Commission)
Rationale: The cornerstone passage for evangelism and discipleship. Key
elements: (1) Go, (2) Make disciples, (3) Baptize, (4) Teach, (5) Christ's presence.
Exam Tip: The exam may test the exact wording of "in the name of the Father
and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit"—know the Trinitarian formula precisely.
Question 4 (Fill-in-the-Blank)
"Very early in the morning, while it was still dark, Jesus got up, left the house
and went off to a solitary place, where he prayed."
Answer: Mark 1:35
Rationale: This verse demonstrates Jesus' prayer life and dependence on the
Father as the foundation for ministry. It is often tested in connection with
spiritual disciplines. High-Yield Pearl: Mark 1:35 is the "prayer before ministry"
verse—Jesus withdrew to pray before the demands of the day.
Question 5 (Fill-in-the-Blank)
"Not so with you. Instead, whoever wants to become great among you must be
your servant, and whoever wants to be first must be slave of all. For even the
, 3
Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a
ransom for many."
Answer: Mark 10:43–45
Rationale: The servant leadership passage. Jesus redefines greatness as service
and points to His own sacrificial death as the ultimate example. Exam Tip: The
phrase "ransom for many" is Christ's own explanation of the atonement.
Question 6 (Fill-in-the-Blank)
"If anyone comes to me and does not hate father and mother, wife and children,
brothers and sisters—yes, even their own life—such a person cannot be my
disciple. And whoever does not carry their cross and follow me cannot be my
disciple."
Answer: Luke 14:26–27
Rationale: This passage teaches the cost of discipleship. "Hate" is hyperbolic
Semitic language meaning "love less by comparison"—total allegiance to Christ
over all other relationships. High-Yield Pearl: The exam loves to test whether
students understand this is about priority, not literal hatred.
Question 7 (Fill-in-the-Blank)
"I tell you that in the same way there will be more rejoicing in heaven over one
sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who do not need to
repent."
Answer: Luke 15:7
Rationale: Part of the Parable of the Lost Sheep (Luke 15:1–7). Emphasizes God's
joy over repentance. Exam Tip: Do not confuse with Luke 15:10 (the lost coin) or
Luke 15:32 (the lost son/prodigal). Luke 15:7 specifically mentions "ninety-nine
righteous persons."
, 4
Question 8 (Fill-in-the-Blank)
"I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will
bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing."
Answer: John 15:5
Rationale: The abiding in Christ passage. Fruitfulness in evangelism and Christian
life depends on remaining connected to Christ. High-Yield Pearl: "Apart from me
you can do nothing" is absolute language—no spiritual fruit is possible without
Christ.
Question 9 (Fill-in-the-Blank)
"But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be
my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the
earth."
Answer: Acts 1:8
Rationale: The empowerment and scope of witness passage. The progression—
Jerusalem (local), Judea (regional), Samaria (cross-cultural), ends of the earth
(global)—provides the geographic strategy for missions. Exam Tip: The exam
frequently tests the geographic progression in order.
Question 10 (Fill-in-the-Blank)
"Have nothing to do with godless myths and old wives' tales; rather, train
yourself to be godly."
Answer: 1 Timothy 4:7
Rationale: Paul's instruction to Timothy on spiritual discipline and godliness.
"Train yourself" (Greek: gymnazo) uses athletic imagery—godliness requires
disciplined effort. High-Yield Pearl: This verse connects to the theme of spiritual
disciplines in evangelism preparation.
