Yesterday, we looked at having a passion and philosophy for sharing our faith with others. How do we implement this philosophy and fulfill this passion?

In continuing our Questions of the Faith series, today and tomorrow we will examine what Jesus teaches about sharing our faith.

If we could ask the Apostle Paul what happens to the "ignorant," here's his likely answer: go tell them. If you know that someone has not heard the gospel, share it with them. Don't speculate—evangelize.

We have discussed what happens to small children who cannot understand God’s gift of salvation. Today, we will talk about those who have not heard of Jesus.

What is the "age of accountability"?

We are continuing the hard discussion on what happens when small children die. John 14:6 makes clear that faith in Jesus is the only way to his Father. By logical extension it would seem that anyone who has not accepted his offer of salvation can be in heaven, even if they died too young to comprehend such truth. But God loves his created children. How can he send them to hell for rejecting a Christ they were not old enough to understand?

Yesterday we asked if we can be sure of our salvation. How can we know that we know? Let's start with God's promise: "I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God so that you may know that you have eternal life" (1 John 5:13).

As we saw yesterday, Jesus is his Christmas gift to us. He was born in Bethlehem to solve our greatest problem: our alienation from God, each other, and ourselves. The last sin you and I committed was enough to separate us from a holy God and his perfect purpose for our lives. How can we restore this broken relationship?

What could cause you to lose your work today? Could your boss fire you? Could your family circumstances change?...Schopenhauer said that the brevity of life is the best thing about it--there's your uplifting thought for the day. Here's the good news this morning: if Jesus is your Lord, your eternal position is guaranteed. No committee can refuse to confirm you.

Going for the One who came

As we have seen in our Friday series, much of our society does not believe that it needs what we offer. Only two percent of Americans are afraid they might go to hell. "Truth" is personal and subjective; Christianity is "your" truth but that doesn't make it "my" truth. As we continue this Lenten season, how do we help our friends trust the Christ we love? Do we let them try to climb out of their spiritual graves, or curl up in the corner? Or do we go and get them out?

Why Jesus?

"GodIssues" exists to help people follow Jesus. We want to give those who are exploring spiritual truth a place to ask hard questions and find relevant answers. And we want to help believers understand their faith more fully and live it out more practically.
