God's Answers to Man's Questions

“Aren’t there many ways to God?”

John 14:6 Jesus said to him, ‘I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father, but through Me.’



“Did Jesus ever claim to be God?”

John 10:30, 33 Jesus answered them, ‘I and the Father are one.’ The Jews answered Him, ‘For a good work we do not stone You, but for blasphemy; and because You, being a man, make Yourself out to be God.’



“How do I know that Jesus is who He claims to be?”

John 7:16-17 Jesus therefore answered them, and said, ‘My teaching is not Mine, but His who sent Me. If any man is willing to do His will, he shall know of the teaching, whether it is of God, or whether I speak from Myself.’



“Isn’t the Bible just a bunch of myths?”

2 Peter 1:16 For we did not follow cleverly devised tales when we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but we were eyewitnesses of His majesty.



“What about all the contradictions in the Bible?”

Proverbs 14:6 A scoffer seeks wisdom, and finds none, but knowledge is easy to him who has understanding.



“Why is there so much suffering in the world?”

Romans 5:12 Therefore, just as through one man sin entered into the world, and death through sin, and so death spread to all men, because all sinned.



“What is the real purpose of life?”

Matthew 22:37-38 And He said to him, ‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind. This is the great and foremost commandment.’



“Aren’t all men basically good?”

Romans 3:10-12 There is none righteous, not even one; there is none who understands, there is none who seeks for God; ...there is none who does good, there is not even one.



“Won’t my good works outweigh my bad works?”

Isaiah 64:6 For all of us have become like one who is unclean, and all our righteous deeds are like a filthy garment.



“Why did Christ die?”

1 Timothy 1:15 It is a trustworthy statement, deserving full acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners.



“I don’t really love Christ. Isn’t it all right to be neutral?”

1 Corinthians 16:22 If anyone does not love the Lord, let him be accursed.



“What must I do to be saved?”

Acts 16:31 Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you shall be saved...



“How do I know God will receive me?”

Isaiah 55:6-7 Seek the Lord while He may be found; call upon Him while He is near. Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts; and let him return to the Lord, and He will have compassion on him; and to our God, for He will abundantly pardon.



“What is eternal life?”

John 17:3 And this is eternal life, that they may know Thee, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom Thou hast sent.



“How could I ever change?”

2 Corinthians 5:17 Therefore if any man is in Christ, he is a new creature; the old things passed away; behold, new things have come.
