Questions to Consider

Friends, it is vital we do not take the word of man when it comes to religious matters, but

the Word of God. We are to follow the example of the Bereans in Acts 17:11, “These were

more fair-minded than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all

readiness, and searched the Scriptures daily to find out whether these things were so”. The

Bereans checked out what was being preached to them and made certain it matched up to

Scripture.

Here are some questions to ask yourself:

1) Is one church as good as another? Matthew 16:18; Matthew 15:9; Ephesians 1:22,23.

2) As long as you are sincere and mean well, does it matter to God how we worship Him?

John 4:23,24; Matthew 15:9.

3) May I become a Christian by saying the “sinner’s prayer”? Isaiah 59:1,2; John 9:31;

Acts 2:38; Romans 6:3-9; Acts 22:16; Colossians 2:12; 1 Peter 3:21. Please note there is no

“sinner’s prayer” as taught by many religious groups today found in the Bible.

4) Is the Bible truly God’s Word or is it simply a Good Book to guide us? 2 Timothy

3:16,17; John 17:17; Psalm 19:7; Hebrews 4:12.

5) Is one saved “by faith only”? James 2:24

6) Must I be baptized to be saved? Is baptism essential? Mark 16:16; Acts 2:38,22:16;

Romans 6:3-9; 1 Peter 3:21.

Folks, it matters what we believe and Whom we obey! Please read God’s Word and follow

it only! May God bless you as you study His Word.

Stay true to the Word,
