Your questions, answered

No question is too blunt, too angry or too basic. Every answer here is grounded in Scripture and quoted from the King James Version, so you can check it for yourself.

How can I be saved?

This is the oldest question in the Bible, and it has a short answer. You are not saved by being good enough. You are saved by trusting what Jesus Christ has already done for you.

Is Jesus real?

Two questions hide inside this one. Did Jesus of Nazareth exist? And is He who He said He was? The first is barely disputed by historians. The second is the one that changes your life.

Why does God allow suffering?

This is not a puzzle for most people. It is a wound. Anyone who answers it quickly has not sat with someone who is grieving.

What happens when I die?

Nobody can answer this from experience. Christians answer it from the one Person who died and came back.

Does God forgive what I did?

People usually ask this with one specific thing in mind. The answer of Scripture is yes — and it is not a loophole, it is the whole point.

What is the sinner's prayer?

The sinner's prayer is simply a way of saying out loud to God what you have come to believe: that you have sinned, that Jesus died and rose for you, and that you receive Him now.

Do I have to go to church?

Church attendance does not save anyone. But the New Testament knows nothing of a Christian life lived entirely alone.

What does the Bible say about anxiety?

The Bible says a great deal about fear, and almost never as a rebuke. Most often it is an invitation to hand something over.

How do I know God is real?

Doubt is not the opposite of faith. Indifference is. If you are asking this seriously, you are closer than you think.

I just became a Christian — what now?

Something real has happened. What follows is not a performance review; it is a relationship you now get to grow in.
