“How to Get the Most Out of the Bible Quiz Verses”

I remember seeing people while I was in college staying up late and sometimes all night to cram for a big exam the next day. You cram and cram to regurgitate some facts to answer questions in order to pass, but those facts sooner than later become forgotten in your mind.

May that NEVER be said of the Apostolic Bible Quizzer!

With that in mind, I want to share with you – how to get the most out of your time memorizing your Bible Quiz verses:

1.) ENGAGE THE BIBLE WITH YOUR HEART THROUGH READING IT!

It’s obvious to you, I’m sure, that in memorizing the verses, you will have to read them. With Bible quizzing, you are required to memorize a lot of verses in a short period of time. I would suggest take the 30 or so days that you have between quizzes and read through the verses once a day. That is like reading through the Book of Philippians in a day. It’s possible and completely doable.

After reading through it 30 or so times, you will have several verses down and a really good grasp on all the other verses.

2.) ENGRAIN THE BIBLE WITH YOUR HEART THROUGH WRITING IT!

As you read, you will see the verses with your eyes, but there is something very special about just copying the Bible. You really engrain the Word in your heart as the letters are formed by your hand, focused on by your eyes and burned into your memory. Plus, you will gain a sense of appreciation to those, who before you, copied and translated the Bible.

3.) EXERCISE THE BIBLE WITH YOUR HEART THROUGH LIVING IT!

The Bible was just not only to be read, but lived. People will read a Christian oftentimes before they will read the Bible. So when the Word gets deep into your heart, your life will be transformed and conformed to holiness and the likeness of Jesus.

I heard about a man who was trying to memorize the Sermon on the Mount. He found himself constantly struggling. But one day something finally clicked. He was sharing his story with his pastor and there he quoted Matthew 5, 6 and 7. The Pastor was blown away and asked him how he did it. The man replied, “It was when I started living and practicing the Sermon that I really began to memorize it!”

I don’t want you to cram for the next quiz, I want you to get a hold of the Bible and the Bible to get a hold of you!
