Directions: Use the indicated Bible passages to carefully answer the questions and fill in the blanks.
Each short answer line is usually for just one answer each. When a letter appears right
before a short answer line, it is the first letter of the best answer word. Use separate
paper for your answers. Copy all questions and the fill-in-the-blank sentences.
Carefully label the answers. I have an answer key done in that way. After you complete
the course, write an essay about what you learned. This assignment is worth 3 units, so
write at least 4 quality pages (single spaced lines).
Introduction
This inductive Bible study includes no controversial questions or Bible verses which are controver-
sial. All that has been written and referred to in this course is for encouraging every reader of it. Many
of the Bible verses were from Jack Taylor's “Who We Are In Christ” list. So, this course should also
increase your confidence in living a God-pleasing life in this mostly anti-Christian world. You will find
doing “Basics For Christian Living” a good use of time either by yourself, with your closest friend,
spouse, or/and with a small discussion group. Read and enjoy as much as you can. This course was the
most spiritually meaningful one I have ever written or read.
If you haven't memorized the order of the New Testament books, copy the Table of Contents in your
Bible so that you can easily see which page each book starts for faster look-up of Bible verses. There are
only a few Old Testament references.

does Jesus have? fully understanding, fully unselfish, and fully (l) s____________________
Read Isaiah 53. What kind of love does this Scripture passage say that God the Father has?
unselfish, purposeful, and (m) e__________________ Reread the five different characteristics
of divine love. This same love is given to all who believe in Jesus Christ as the Savior from eternal
condemnation for disobeying God's laws. Read Romans 5 & 6 and 2 Corinthians 5:17-6:1 before
going on.
2.) Reread John 3:16. What else does God give to true Christians? (a) _________________
________ to love and be loved by Him. What is a main horror of front-page news besides politics
and crime? (b) d__________ Do you fear about the just indicated happening to you? (c)
_____ How many different ways could it happen to you tomorrow? (d) _______ How many
different ways could it happen to you within the next hour? (e) _______ What would you rather
think about? (f) e_____________ l_________ with God Read Romans 6:23, John 10:22-29, 2
Corinthians 1:22 & Ephesians 1:3-14, and 1 John 2:22-26. What does 1 John 5:11-15 mean to
you? What kind of confidence or assurance can you have? I can absolutely knowing about having
God-given (g) e_____________ l__________ with God and having every unselfish (h)
p______________ r_______________ being responded to (answered) by God Almighty.
Remember, these divine gifts can eliminate worry and stress about death and bring wonderful peace
to a true Christian's mind. Reread Romans 5:1-11. Read Philippians 4:4-8 which the Apostle Paul
wrote just before he was beheaded for his Christian beliefs and life style. Can you do such in all,
most, or few situations? (i) _____________ On another piece of paper, list as many specific
things you can think, say, and do which would satisfy Philippians 4:4-8 commands contrary to
human nature. [Examples: from-the-“heart” compliments to a “significant other” in your life &
compliments to an "enemy" or someone who irritates you a lot. (Doing the latter will make you
feel better even if you never are able to speak them to the enemy or antagonist. Read Matthew 5:7-
16 & 38-48 to find out why.)]
3.) Are you encouraged and revived yet? Proper courage for living the best we can requires being
assured by what you know of the 100% promise keeping, loving God and what desires us to think
and do. Review the first two groups of questions, answers, and Bible verses before going on. On
another piece of paper, you might even make a list of what God's advice is for the best ways to
think and to relate to others. For the first one, don't just say “believe in Jesus Christ”. Write all of
the things the referred to Bible verses state or imply about believing in and on Jesus Christ. You
won't regret this review time and you will be encouraged spiritually as much as your review effort is
before continuing this course. This really is the most important part of this course.
Divine Importance
9.) Read Ephesians 1:3-14. A true Christian has been (a) c____________ by God (before history!)
in order to be (b) h____________ (righteous) living in His everlasting (c) l___________. He or
she is a very specially (d) a________________ child of God Almighty to (e) p__________ Him

Testament laws' condemnations) and is able to receive and learn (g) a______ (h) w___________
[James 3:17] (including understanding God's will--1 John 5:20) and (i) p________________
(foresighted especially in being wise for disciplining and governing oneself). [See also 2

[In regards to the just mentioned, Proverbs 3:5 & 6, Psalm 37, 2 Corinthians 3:1-5, James 4:6-10,
and 1 Peter 2:3-10 are very appropriate.]
10.) Read Romans 8:30, 1 Peter 2:9, and Revelation 1:5 & 6. The always-existing God thought that

Christians so much that He shed His own (i) b____________ and died for spiritually washing
them from their (j) s____________ and making them spiritual (k) k________ and (l)
p___________ unto (m) __________ the Abba Father. [Also read Titus 2:11-14, John 15:13,
and Ephesians 3:19 for more encouragement hopefully.]
11.) Did you ever wonder why most of the highly intellectuals, the great athletes, the very wealthy
business people, the movie/TV stars, or the beautiful/handsome models are not consecrated
Christians? Instead, God usually uses individuals with the following character qualities for
important ministries. Read the Scripture passages and place the numbers which are in front of them
after the appropriate special character qualities a specially thought of by God Christians has. Each
passage may indicate more than one character quality.
(1) Exodus 33:11-34:8 (2) Matthew 18:3 & 4 (3) Romans 12
(4) Hebrews 10:19-25 (5) 1 John 1:9 (6) 1 Corinthians 3:16 & 17

Peter 2:21-25 to obtain the words for the following: A true Christian is to only glory in the Lord

What very important thing do true Christians have to look forward to? Read 1 John 3:1-3, Romans

Now read 1 Corinthians 6:2 & 3. What important position will each true Christian then be given by
God? (f)
[Read Titus 2 for some more of the important things God-honored, pre-ordained Christians are
supposed to do while waiting for the Second Coming of Christ Jesus.]
