1. CORRESPONDENCE COURSE
TEST ONE
FOR LESSONS 1-4
T
HIS multiple-choice test is designed to help
you review the subjects you studied in your
Bible with the preceding four lessons. It's an
enjoyable way of putting to use some of the vital
knowledge and understanding you have gained
through this course.
Notice that there are four parts to the test, each
part covering one of the previous four lessons. You
should take this test after finishing your studies
with these four lessons.
Also notice that you must select one of the four
choices given under each question or incomplete
statement. These choices are labeled A, B, C, D.
Only one is correct. The other three choices are
wrong-unless stated or indicated otherwise.
Usually they are false ideas believed by the major-
ity of professing Christians today, or by those who
do not believe in the Creator God and the divine
inspiration of the Bible.
From among the four choices, select only the one
that you believe to be correct and circle the letter
of that choice with a pen or pencil. As an example,
the correct choice for question one is already cir-
cled for you.
Take sufficient time to understand each ques-
tion or statement, as well as the choices. Try to do
as many as you can without referring to the pre-
vious four lessons. If you have any difficulty decid-
ing on the correct answer, then review the part of
the lesson covering the point under question or the
statement to be completed. We expect you to do
so-it isn't cheating!
Once you have finished the test and are satisfied
with all of your answers, transfer them to the test
answer card that accompanies this test. Simply
place an "x" in the box corresponding to the letter
of the choice you have circled for each question or
statement. As an example, number one on the test
answer card is already marked correctly for you.
Take special care in transferring your answers to
the answer card so that you do not make an error
during this step.
When you have completed the entire test and
have transferred all of your answers to the test
answer card, follow the directions for returning it
to our office you normally write to. There it will be
graded and mailed back to you. Our mailing
addresses are printed on the reverse side of the test
answer card instructions and on page two of this
test.
We will continue to send you additional lessons
as long as you sincerely desire to understand more
of God's Word with the help of these lessons. So be
sure to take this test and send us your completed
test answer card!
About Your Score
Your graded test answer card, showing your
exact score, will be returned to you. A score of 75
percent or above is a passing grade. After satisfac-
torily completing this test, Lessons 5 through 8 will
be sent to you at the rate of one per month. Test
Two will be included with Lesson 8.
Remember: No further lessons will be sent to
you unless you complete and return the enclosed
test answer card for grading.
Now you are ready to begin the test!

2. an open letter from
The Staff
Y
OU would be shocked to know the "Bible
I.Q." of most professing Christians in the
United States today! A recent survey con-
ducted by a Bible society found that 98% of all
American homes contain at least one Bible. Yet,
another survey showed that the vast majority of
those who claim to be Christians are "Bible illiter-
ates"! Most simply don't read the book they pro-
fess to regard as the "Word of God." But why?
Most ofthose who do try to read the Bible find they
cannot understand it. And so back onthe shelfitgoes.
Consequently, most who profess the name of Jesus
Christ do not even know what He said!
There is a reason why so many don't understand
the Bible. Jesus said: "In them is fulfilled the proph-
ecy of [Isaiah], which saith, by hearing ye shall hear,
and shall not understand; and seeing ye shall see
and shall not perceive. For this people's ... ears are
dull of hearing, and their eyes they have closed; lest
at any time they should ... understand with their
heart, and should be converted, and I should heal
them" (Matt. 13:14-15).
The startling fact is that the world has been
spiritually blinded! This simply is not the time for
most people to be called by God (John 6:44). God
has not yet opened their minds to understand the
marvelous truth about His purpose for mankind.
(Future lessons will explain why.)
God has allowed the world to be spiritually
deceived (Rev. 12:9; II Cor. 11:13-15). Spiritual
blindness covers all nations (Isa. 25:7). But God is
beginning to remove this blindness from some
through His Church that is preaching Christ's Gos-
pel ofthe Kingdom ofGod to the world.
To those of you who are taking this course and
whom God is calling, Christ says, "Blessed are your
eyes, for they see; and your ears, for they hear"
(Matt. 13:16). Those who seriously study their
Bibles with the help of these lessons become bibli-
cal literates!
God said His truth would be "... precept upon
precept, ... line upon line; here a little, and there a
little ..." (Isa. 28:10, 13). This is one way He has
hidden His truth from an unbelieving, self-willed
world. It is also how He teaches you today. These
Ambassador College Bible Correspondence Course
lessons draw from all of God's Word in this way.
God is revealing His truth to you through this
easy-to-follow, step-by-step approach to studying
