Q: Will God really forgive anything?

A: Yes!  Even though it's hard for us to understand there is nothing that God won't forgive.  In Hebrews 10:17 it says, "their sins and lawless acts I will remember no more."  God forgives us because He loves us so much.  However, it says in Mark 3:28, 29 that God won't forgive blasphemes of the Holy Spirit, but it seems like this happens when someone deliberately continues to do evil or continually rejects salvation after fully understanding it.

 

Q: Is there a final judgment and heaven and hell?

A: Yes, every person who lives will one day have their actions, thoughts, and motives judged.  Heaven and hell are also real.  Heaven is a place that is too wonderful to describe where Christians are with God eternally.  Hell is a place of eternal separation from God and the people who go there have chosen to reject our savior Jesus Christ.

 

Q: Is accepting Jesus the only way to get to heaven?  Isn't that intolerant and narrow-minded?

A: In the Bible in Acts 4:12 the Apostle Peter says about Jesus, "salvation comes no other way; no other name has been or will be given to us by which we can be saved, only this one."  The God, Jesus, and the way to salvation are painted differently by other religions like Hinduism, Buddhism, and Islam.  Since these ideologies are so exclusive, we have to choose which one is right and which one is wrong.  Paul pointed to the superiority of the claims of Christianity in Acts 17:29-31 where he spoke about Jesus' resurrection.

 

Q: What do I have to do to accept Jesus Christ as my savior?

A: Click here.

 

Q: What is heaven like?

A: It is a wonderful place where there is no night and Christians get to be with God all of the time.  It is too awesome to describe with words!
