If I Accept Jesus Christ Is My Salvation Forever? Definitely! Your salvation is through the most trustworthy being in the universe Jesus Christ! You didnt do anything to earn your salvation, and you cant do anything to lose it. Your salvation is maintained by Gods trustworthiness and love not by what you do.
How Do We Grow as Believers? God has set us apart (sanctified us) for the purpose of growing us to become more like His Son. Through our faith in the Bible and the transforming work of the Holy Spirit, God changes our heart in order to change our character and actions. Gods promise is that when we reach heaven, He will complete the process of making every believer like Jesus.
Why is Evil Present in the World? While God will one day do away with all evil, He currently allows evil in the world which provides mankind a choice. Satan is the source of all evil and will suffer an eternity of separation from God for his choices. (Hell was originally prepared for the devil and his demons.) Evil is present in the world because of mankinds choice in the Garden of Eden. Because of Jesus, we have the opportunity to choose the goodness of Gods grace over evil. While God could eliminate evil immediately, He endures the grief of waiting to do so in order to give more people the opportunity to come to faith in Him. God is able to cause all things, even the evil in this world, to work together for the good of those who love Him.
How Will I Spend Eternity? God made you to exist forever. Heaven is a perfect place, and since none of us is perfect we were all headed for an eternity of separation from God. Thats why God sent Jesus: to pay the price for our sins so that we can spend eternity with Him. What you decide about Jesus Christ in this life will determine where you will spend eternity. If you reject Him, youll spend it eternally separated from God in Hell. If you accept Him, youll spend it eternally connected with Him in Heaven. Hell is a place of separation, suffering and darkness. Heaven is a place of eternal joy in Gods presence.
What is the Church? The Bible tells us that the church is the body of Christ in the world today. The New Testament tells us the church is a local body of baptized believers. The head of the church is Jesus Christ. The biblical purposes of the church are worship, evangelism, fellowship, discipleship and ministry to others.
What is the Second Coming of Jesus? God, in His own time and in His own way, will bring the world to its appropriate end. According to His promise, Jesus Christ will return personally and visibly in glory to the earth; the dead will be raised; and Christ will judge all men in righteousness.
