The reason for this post is to encourage us to improve in our knowledge of God because the better we know Him, the more peace we have and the better able we are to live our life for His glory (Which is to our benefit). The quiz below is intended to give a baseline… a starting point… to realize our need to grow in our knowledge of God.
2 Peter 1:2 May grace and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord. Make Your Calling and Election Sure 3 His divine power has granted to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of him who called us to his own glory and excellence, 4 by which he has granted to us his precious and very great promises, so that through them you may become partakers of the divine nature, having escaped from the corruption that is in the world because of sinful desire.
