1. Is God Real? How Can I Know?
Many people wonder if God exists. While we can’t physically see Him, there is evidence all around us. The beauty of nature, the complexity of life, and even the deep longing for meaning inside of us all point to something—or Someone—greater.
Many people also experience God personally—through answered prayers, a deep sense of peace, or moments that can’t be explained logically. If you’re seeking, ask God to reveal Himself to you. He promises that when we seek Him, we will find Him (Jeremiah 29:13).

2. Why Do Bad Things Happen if God is Good?
We live in a broken world where pain, suffering, and injustice exist. But the Bible tells us that this was never God’s original plan. When sin entered the world, brokenness followed. However, God didn’t abandon us. He sent Jesus to rescue us and promises that one day, He will make all things new (Revelation 21:4).
Even in suffering, God is near. He walks with us, strengthens us, and uses even our struggles for good (Romans 8:28).

3. How Do I Know Christianity is True?
Christianity is not about blind faith—it is built on historical events. Jesus’ resurrection is one of the most documented events in ancient history. His life, death, and resurrection were witnessed by many, and His impact continues to change lives today.
Christianity is different from other religions because it is not about human efforts to reach God—it is about God reaching down to us through Jesus.

4. What Happens After We Die?
The Bible teaches that this life isn’t the end. God created us for eternity, and we all have a choice—to spend eternity with Him or apart from Him.
Jesus said:
“I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die.” (John 11:25)
Heaven is real, and God wants you to be with Him forever.

5. Can God Really Love Me After Everything I’ve Done?
Absolutely! God’s love isn’t based on your past—it’s based on who He is. No sin is too great for His forgiveness.

God offers a fresh start to anyone who turns to Him.

Success, relationships, and pleasures can’t fill the void in our hearts because we were made for something more—God.
“I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.” (John 10:10)
Only a relationship with Jesus brings true fulfillment.

“I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” (John 14:6)

10. What if I Have Doubts—Does That Mean I Don’t Have Faith?
Not at all! Having doubts doesn’t mean you lack faith—it means you’re thinking deeply. Even some of Jesus’ closest followers had doubts at times. Faith isn’t about having all the answers; it’s about trusting God even when we don’t fully understand.
11. Do I Have to Be a Good Person for God to Accept Me?
Many people believe that if they’re “good enough,” God will accept them. But the truth is, none of us can earn God’s love—it’s a gift.
12. Why Do Christians Seem Hypocritical Sometimes?
Sadly, there are Christians who don’t always reflect Jesus well. But here’s the key: Christianity isn’t about following imperfect people—it’s about following Jesus.
13. If I Follow Jesus, Will My Life Get Easier?
Jesus never promised an easy life—but He did promise He would never leave us.
14. Does God Really Forgive Me?
Yes! No sin is greater than His love and grace.
