1. Is there a God or higher power?
The Bible teaches clearly that God exists and has revealed Himself through creation, conscience, and ultimately Christ. Creation itself points to an intelligent, powerful Creator, and the human heart is wired to seek Him. God is not distant — He is personal, knowable, and involved in our world.
Verses:
- “The heavens declare the glory of God.” — Psalm 19:1
- “For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities… have been clearly seen.” — Romans 1:20
- “Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father.” — John 14:9
God is not an abstract force; He is the living God who made us to know Him.
2. What is the meaning and purpose of life?
Scripture teaches that our purpose is to know God, love Him, and reflect His character. Humans were created in God’s image to worship Him, walk with Him, and use our lives to glorify Him. True meaning isn’t found in possessions or achievements but in a restored relationship with God through Jesus.
Verses:
- “This is eternal life: that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ.” — John 17:3
- “So whether you eat or drink… do all to the glory of God.” — 1 Corinthians 10:31
- “You have made us for yourself, and our hearts are restless until they rest in you.” — (Reflects Romans 11:36)
Life’s purpose is not discovered — it’s received from the God who made us.
3. What happens after we die?
The Bible is clear: death is not the end. Every person continues into eternity — either in the presence of God or separated from Him. Through Jesus, believers have the promise of eternal life, resurrection, and a future with God where there is no pain, sin, or death. Without Christ, Scripture warns of eternal separation.
Verses:
- “It is appointed for man to die once, and after that comes judgment.” — Hebrews 9:27
- “Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life.” — John 3:36
- “I am the resurrection and the life… everyone who lives and believes in me shall never die.” — John 11:25–26
Death is a doorway — Jesus determines what is on the other side.
4. Why is there suffering, pain, and evil in the world?
The Bible teaches that suffering entered the world through human sin. We live in a broken world where evil, pain, and death are the tragic effects of turning away from God. But God is not absent — He uses suffering to draw us to Himself, refine our faith, and ultimately point us to Christ, who suffered in our place and promises to one day make all things new.
Verses:
- “Through one man sin entered the world, and death through sin.” — Romans 5:12
- “In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.” — John 16:33
- “He will wipe every tear… there shall be no more death or mourning.” — Revelation 21:4
God does not ignore suffering — He entered into it through Jesus and will one day end it forever.
5. Why is Jesus the only way, and why does He matter to you?
Jesus is the only way because He is the only One who solved humanity’s greatest problem: sin. Every religion offers advice, but only Jesus offers forgiveness. He is the only sinless Savior who died in our place, took the punishment we deserved, and rose again to give us eternal life. He is not one option among many — He is the only bridge between God and humanity.
Verses:
- “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” — John 14:6
- “There is salvation in no one else.” — Acts 4:12
- “Christ died for our sins… He was buried… He was raised on the third day.” — 1 Corinthians 15:3–4
Why Jesus matters to me:
Jesus matters because He did what I never could — He took my sin, paid my debt, and gave me new life. He found me when I couldn’t save myself, forgave me when I was guilty, and adopted me into God’s family. He gives peace in suffering, purpose in life, strength for today, and hope for eternity.
He matters because He changed everything — my past, my identity, my future.
Jesus is not just the only way —
He is the best news the world has ever heard.
