IT IS "BIBLE QUIZ TIME"

I have a little quiz for you.  What do the following verses have in common?

Acts 11:17; 15:11, 26; 16:31; 20:21; 28:31
Romans 1:7; 5:1, 11; 13:14; 15:6, 30; 16:18, 20, 24
1 Corinthians 1:3, 7, 8, 10; 5:4; 8:6; 15:57; 16:22, 23
2 Corinthians 1:2, 3; 8:9; 11:31; 13:14
Galatians 1:3; 6:14, 18
Ephesians 1:2, 3, 17; 3:14; 5:20; 6:23, 24
Philippians 1:2; 3:20; 4:23
Colossians 1:2, 3
1 Thessalonians 1:1, 3; 2:19; 3:11, 13
2 Thessalonians 1:1, 2, 8, 12; 2:1, 14, 16; 3:6, 12, 18
1 Timothy 1:1; 5:21; 6:3, 14
2 Timothy 4:1, 22
Titus 1:4
Philemon 1:3, 25
James 1:1; 2:1
1 Peter 1:3
2 Peter 1:8, 14, 16
2 John 1:3
Jude 1:4, 17, 21

Give up?  Of course, not a single one of you looked up every one of these verses because your time is limited, but may I recommend you copy this list and use it when sharing your faith with others?  What, you say, is so important about these eighty-four verses?  They clearly identify who Jesus was and is:  He is the Lord Jesus Christ!  He, by being called "Lord" that many times in the New Testament, is clearly being identified with the God of the Old Testament; there, His title "LORD"  (the Hebrew יְהֹוָה (Yĕhovah), which occurs 6518 times in 5521 verses) appears 6510 times as "LORD," 4 times as "GOD," and 4 times as "JEHOVAH."  Matthew 1:21 and Romans 10:13 say:
 
"THOU SHALT CALL HIS NAME JESUS" and
"WHOSOEVER SHALL CALL UPON THE NAME OF THE LORD SHALL BE SAVED!"
