A Bible trivia game left a group of young people stumped over a phrase the Apostle Paul used most in the New Testament.
We read the Bible for years. Some books become so familiar to us because we have gone through them so many times but when someone throws a random question at us we find lots of possible answers in our head and still try hard to pick the right one.
The Guesses Kept Coming
Austin Groft walked around with a microphone asking a group of young people one question: what is the most used phrase by the Apostle Paul in the New Testament?
People started throwing out answers right away. “Greet your brother with a holy kiss.” “Paul, apostle of Jesus Christ.” Someone even guessed “Do not be afraid” which Austin pointed out is actually the most used phrase in the whole Bible not just in Paul’s writings.
So Austin gave them a big hint. The answer is exactly two words and it is probably sitting in their favorite Bible verse.
Still nobody got it. “Walk in the Spirit.” “Lord Jesus.” “Fear not.”
The Answer Nobody Expected
Then a young man in a dark t-shirt called it out. “In Christ!” And that’s the answer.
Paul used this phrase dozens of times across his letters. It is how he described who we are before God.
So next time you open your Bible look for those two words. They show up more than you think.
