In my last blog I talked about asking good questions in order to understand and go deeper, without bias or prejudice. In this blog I want to pose five questions to you. With full disclosure, these questions are taken from a book called “Share Jesus without Fear” so you know the context and subject. Stop now if you have no interest! So here goes…
1. Do you have any kind of spiritual belief?
2. To you, who is Jesus?
3. Do you believe there is a heaven and a hell?
4. If you died right now, where would you go? If heaven, why?
5. If what you believe were not true, would you want to know it?
I invite you to think about each question and answer them for yourself. They are pretty good questions to make you think about life after death, your own spiritual life, and what God might be saying to you. If you go through all five questions and answer “no” or “not interested” at any point then maybe think about why you think that way.
If you answer “yes” to number 5, then I think the best place to look for truth is the good news written about Jesus in the New Testament of the Bible. Here are six key scriptures that summarize what He did for us when He came to the Earth. Read them aloud and ask yourself what each says to you personally.
2. for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God (Romans 3:23),
4. For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received, that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, and that He was buried, and that He was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures (1 Corinthians 15:3-4),
6. Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in and dine with him, and he with Me (Revelation 3:20).
I pray that God will open your mind and stir your heart to seek after Him through these scriptures!
