Question Hour!

"O taste and see that the Lord is good" (Psa 34:8)

There are several questions people ask about salvation from sin by Christ. If someone says that he will get saved only after all his questions are answered satisfactorily, it is very likely that he will never get saved. Mere intellectual knowledge never saved anyone. Is it not foolishness if someone refuses to use electricity until he understands all about electricity? However here are the direct answers from the Bible for some of the commonest questions and excuses—

 I am religious enough; is it not enough?
"Unless you are converted and become as little children you will by no means enter the Kingdom of Heaven" (Mt 18:3)

  Is it not enough if I harm nobody but always do good to others?
"You are those who justify yourselves before men, but God knows your hearts" (Lk 16:15)
"If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not is us" (1 Jn 1:8)

 Will a God of love send anyone to eternal hell?
"Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate...that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it" (Mt 7:13)

  Is it not better to be like me than those who claim a salvation experience but play hypocrisy?
"In accordance with your hardness and your impatient heart you are treasuring up for yourself wrath...of God, who will render each one according to his deeds...God will judge the secrets of men" (Rom 2:5,6,11,16)

  Is Christian life so easy? There are many people I cannot forgive and habits I cannot forsake!
Jesus says, "Come to Me all you who labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. take My yoke upon you and learn from Me. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light" (Mt 11:28-30)

  Will not God save me when He desires?
"Now is the day of Salvation" (2 Cor 6:1,2)

Jesus is tenderly calling thee home—calling today, calling today!
Why from the sunshine of love wilt thou roam, farther and farther away?
Jesus is waiting, oh, come to Him now—waiting today, waiting today!
Come with thy sins, at His feet lowly bow; come, and no longer dalay!

"He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the Churches"  (Rev 3:13)  Precious Child, I want to bring you out of your apprehensions to witness for Christ. You are afraid that people might mock at you. Your throat chokes every time you want to open your mouth to share the Gospel. The fear of ridicule silences you. Don't feel bad about it, My child. This was the problem of the disciples of Jesus also even though they had walked with Him for over three years. Can you imagine how a key figure like Peter could ever deny and disown Christ? Their weakness overpowered their willingness. The problem was solved by My coming. That's why Jesus wouldn't let them go out until they got filled with My power (Acts 1:4). When I came upon them, the cowards became challengers! Be filled with Me. Don't consider your timidity or boast of your oratory skill. Depend on Me. I will grant you boldness in all situations to speak forth the message of the Cros...

Utter Confusion!

"They will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths.  But you keep your head in all situations" (2 Tim 4:4,5) I am an ardent fan of John the Baptist. There is no harm in admiring him because all who started as John's fans became Jesus' followers. A comparison of John with many Christian ministers of today makes me hang down my head in shame and sorrow.  John was filled with the Holy Spirit, even from his mother's womb (Lk 1:15); but the modern prophets communicate with the spirits of men who have gone to the tomb.  The Word of God came to him (Lk 3:2); but many of their revelations contradict the written Word of God.  He was a desert-dweller, dead to the lust for popularity (Mt 3:1); but they are city-lovers, hunting for recognition and lusting limelight.  John was a voice from God (Jn 1 :23); but the modern preachers are an echo of someone of similar brand.  He did not seek pulpits but people sought him and...
