Take A Test On Benevolence
I want you to take a simple test on benevolence. It won't take you very long, but it can be profitable to your understanding of this Bible subject.
The procedure is simple. Each of the eight questions has two aprts, Read part A of each question and circle your answer. Then read aprt B and circle your answer. Now, turn to the reference in the Bible, read carefully, and check your answer. If you learn you have been wrong about the answer to any question, you will want to correct your thinking.
