Is God real?
Yes, I believe that God is real. More and more people who study the world and the things it in recognzie that their is a incredible design to everything. The world we live didnt happen, or create itself.
Someone had to create it, some say that their is an inteligent designer that created our world and this is God. God reavels himself to us in the Bible so that we would know Him.
Why did God create sin?
Lets first ask what exactly is sin? Sin is everything we think, say and do that Goes against God’s will and desire. And what is God’s will and desire? Well, simply put it is loving God with all your heart, soul mind and strength and loving others the very same way.Our sin, our failure to live as God desires us to live seperates us from God and as a result our realtionship is broken.
Now did God create sin? No, disobedience was a choice made by adam and eve and as a result effects every single person after than. The Bibles says that everyone sins.
Why did he give another chance?
One of the reasons is love. John 3:16 tells us that Jesus was sent to earth to save us because of the love of God.
Since God knows the future why did he make Satan?
Lets begin by answering who is Satan?Satan is a spiritual being, created by God and ultimaetly subject to him. He is an enemy of God, opposing his plans and His people.
Satan does have a kingdom, but has been defeated by Jesus’ death and resserection on the cross and one day will destroyed by God.
Yes, God does know the future and knew that through the Cross Satan’s kingdom would be defeated and one day he will be detroyed.
I suppose God knowing everything meant that this was going to happen but didnt stop it?
Is Jesus real. Sus? How did Jesus come to life?
Is Jesus real? Thats an easy question. People who study history and dont believe in God or the Bible agree that Jesus was a real person!
A important qustion to ask is was Jesus the son of God? That’s the million dollar question. If Jesus was just a normal person, then none of this story can be true, but because he is the son of God, he is both fully man and fully God.
Jesus came to life on earth through a miracle. Jesus has always exsisted with His father, but the Bible tells us how he came to earth.
You may know that it takes a man and woman together to make a baby, but God told a woman named Mary, that even though she didnt have a husband she was going to have a baby.
So, Jesus came down to earth, born as a baby boy (who was fully God & Fully man). We can read about his life in the Books of Matthew, mark, Luke, John who tells us the story of Jesus.
Why do some people not trust Jesus?
1. The first thing to say about this, is that the Good news of Jesus (his life, death and resserection for the punishment of sin) is for all people.
2. The Holy Spirit, who is the third person in the trinity has not regenerated their heart.
3. It requires a choice. God has given us Jesus as gift, but we need to receive this gift through faith and some never decide for themselves. The never come to know, and follow Jesus personally and they know about Jesus, but never know him as their saviour and friend.
This choice of following Jesus is a choice that each one of us in this room has. The choice to believe in who Jesus is and what Jesus has done for you through his perfect life, death and resserection from the grave to pay for your sins andbring you back into a realtionship with God.
