Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Philippians is often referred to as one of Paul's Prison Epistles. Which one of the following is NOT a Prison Epistle?

Answer: Galatians

Paul is believed to have written these four epistles from a jail cell during his first Roman imprisonment.

2. Philippians is generally known as the epistle of _______, based on his attitude even while in prison.

Answer: joy

In Galatians 5:22, we find a list of the Fruit of the Spirit. One is joy. Being filled with joy (a deep happiness NOT dependent upon circumstances) is one of the greatest testimonies a Christian can display regarding the reality of Christ in his or her life.

3. In his greeting at the beginning of Philippians, Paul names Barnabas as his fellow servant of Christ Jesus.

Answer: False

Though Barnabas was a frequent companion of Paul, Timothy is named in Philippians 1:1 as Paul's companion and fellow servant of Christ.

Answer: depth of insight

All three of the incorrect answers are good suggestions as well, but Paul pretty much always spent the first chapter or two of each epistle explaining EXACTLY what the Lord had done for those who believe so they would have great insight into those realities...AND live their lives in response to His love and goodness.

5. Also in Chapter 1, Paul states that some preach Christ out of goodwill (with pure motives), but others do so out of envy and rivalry.

Answer: True

Paul's attitude toward those who have impure motives is expressed in Philippians 1:18: "But what does it matter? The important thing is that in every way, whether from false motives or true, Christ is preached. And because of this, I rejoice."

6. In Philippians 2:5, Paul urges the Philippian believers to have an attitude that's the same as that of _______."

Answer: Christ Jesus

That attitude is to be one of ultimate humility. If Christ Jesus could be humble (and He was) despite His identity as the Son of God, the Philippians could certainly adopt that same attitude and approach to others around them.

7. In Chapter 3, Paul shares that he was a Pharisee at one time.

Answer: True

The Pharisees were greatly admired by the people because they seemed to be so holy, yet they were the recipients of the most scathing attacks by Jesus. He went after them because they appeared on the outside to be righteous but were in reality nothing but hypocrites.

8. In Philippians 3:10, Paul proclaims that he wants to "know Christ and the power of His resurrection and ______."

Answer: the fellowship of sharing in his sufferings."

An unusual prayer request, but it illustrates how completely Paul wants to identify with Christ in order to be used by Him for His glory.

9. In Philippians 4:4, Paul urges the Philippians believers to rejoice in the Lord when?

Answer: always

One of the greatest keys to a joy-filled life in Christ is rejoicing in Him always. There is truly something to praise Him about in every situation, no matter how difficult it seems at the time.

10. In Chapter 4, Paul admits that though he has learned to live when he has plenty, he's struggling hard to live when he is in need.

Answer: False

No, Paul says that he has learned the secret of being content in any and every circumstance...again, the recipe for true and lasting joy!
