Have you ever wondered who made you? Or maybe you have looked at a large mountain and wondered who put it there? And what about all the thousands of different kinds of animals? Where did they come from?

And if someone made all these things, why did he make them? Why did he make me?

Will God forgive me?

by | Oct 2, 2021 | Burning questions, Discover the Bible, Forgiveness, The Book

Romans 4:5-8

And to the one who does not work but believes in Him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is counted as righteousness, just as David also speaks of the blessing of the one to whom God counts righteousness apart from works:

“Blessed are those whose lawless deeds are forgiven,
    and whose sins are covered;
blessed is the man against whom the Lord will not count his sin.”

Micah 7:18-20

Who is a God like you, pardoning iniquity
    and passing over transgression
    for the remnant of his inheritance?
He does not retain his anger forever,
    because he delights in steadfast love.
He will again have compassion on us;
    he will tread our iniquities underfoot.
You will cast all our sins
    into the depths of the sea.
You will show faithfulness to Jacob
    and steadfast love to Abraham,
as you have sworn to our fathers
    from the days of old.

Will God forgive me?

by | Oct 2, 2021 | Burning questions, Discover the Bible, Forgiveness, Speak to God, Truth

Have you ever needed forgiveness? Perhaps from a friend or relative. But have you ever needed forgiveness from God? Now that is scary. Will God forgive us?

In The Book, God tells us He is merciful and gracious, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love. He longs for each of us to come to Him so that He can forgive us. Don’t get me wrong – God is holy and He doesn’t leave sin unpunished, but He is calling everyone to turn to Him and receive His forgiveness.

We all need God’s forgiveness. Not one human being is good enough to please God. We can clearly see that no matter how hard we try on our own, we can’t stop making mistakes and doing wrong things. Whenever we try to do good things, we are trying to get close to God. But that will never work. We need to come to God and admit to Him that we aren’t good enough. When we admit our mistakes, we can receive His forgiveness and have a close relationship with Him.

When God forgives, He forgives totally. He doesn’t hold grudges; He washes our mistakes away and never looks at them again. God paid a high price for our forgiveness. Jesus had to die to wash away our sins. God loved the world so much that He was willing to pay this high price to give us the gift of forgiveness. Will you receive His forgiveness?

What did Jesus say about persecution?

by | Sep 13, 2021 | Burning questions, Discover the Bible, Refugee, Speak to God, Truth

The Taliban has taken over Pakistan and many Christians are fearing for their lives. With all the violence and threats, many have to decide if they will hide or flee.

A question which you may have asked is, “What did Jesus tell his followers to do when they were persecuted?”

In The Book, Jesus told His disciples, “Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who abuse you.”

Christians are told to love the people who persecute them and to even pray for them. Why does God want them to do this? It is because they must imitate Jesus. When Jesus was being crucified, He prayed to God asking Him to forgive the people who crucified Him. In the same way, Christians today are praying for the Taliban and other people who are persecuting them that God would forgive them and that they would come to know Jesus and be saved.

God also loves His enemies. Many times He is kind to those who do evil in this world. It would be right for Him to kill them immediately because of their sins, but He is giving them time to repent. He wants all people everywhere to believe in Jesus and be saved. Will you listen to His call?
