What Do You Really Believe?

1. Do you believe God created the world, and is now managing it by the laws of nature and by providence?
2. Do you believe that you have personal value and significance simply because God made you?
3. Do you believe that all people around you, regardless of color, race, or creed, have personal value and Gods wants them to be saved?
4. Do you believe that God will hold you accountable for how you have spent your life?
5. Do you believe that Jesus was more than a man—that he was and is the son of God?
6. Do you believe that God transmitted his message through men, and that they wrote down the words he wanted them to use, and in so doing, gave us the Bible?
7. Do you believe that there are such things to be classified as good, and other things to be classified as evil, and that the two categories are mutually exclusive?
8. Do you believe that there is a definite way to follow God, and that by following that way, you will be saved?
9. Do you believe that there is a group of people, made up of those who have professed their belief in Christ and obeyed him in faith, who are the people for God’s own possession?
10. Do you believe there really is an eternal destination for the righteous, and another one for the unrighteous? Why or Why Not?
Why did you answer the questions the way you did? Now, I want you to read the passages below (if you are not already familiar with them) and place the letter of the group of passages beside the question it best fits. Only one letter per question, please.
A. John 14:6; 2 Corinthians 5:7 F. Acts 10:34, 35; 1 Timothy 2:3,4
