• Ethan: God is not a distant figure, but a personal Being who is actively involved in our lives, guiding and supporting us through life.

Who is Jesus Christ, and why is He important? 

(John 14:6, Romans 5:8)

• Faith: Jesus Christ is the Son of God, second person in the Trinity (God, the Son), who came to Earth as both fully God and fully human. He is important because through His life, death, and resurrection, He made it possible for us to have a relationship with God.
• Ethan: Jesus is our Savior and Lord. His teachings show us how to live, and His sacrifice demonstrates God's love for us, offering forgiveness and the possibility of transformation through God's grace.

What does it mean to be saved or born again? 

(John 3:16-17, Ephesians 2:8-9)

• Faith: Being saved or born again means experiencing a spiritual rebirth through faith in Jesus Christ. It is accepting God's prevenient grace (divine influence), which enables us to respond to His offer of salvation.
• Ethan: It is the beginning of a transformative journey with God. When we are saved, we start a new life guided by God's grace, growing in holiness and love for God and others.

How does God guide or speak to us today? 

(Psalm 119:105, John 10:27)

• Faith: God primarily speaks to us through Scripture, which is central to understanding His will. He also guides us through prayer, the church community, and the inner witness of the Holy Spirit.

What does the Bible say about finding purpose in life?

How can I experience peace and hope in my life? 

(Philippians 4:7, Romans 15:13)

• Faith: True peace and hope come from trusting in God's love and promises. As we grow in faith and holiness, we experience the assurance of God's presence and future glory.

How can I deal with feelings of guilt and forgiveness?

What happens after we die? 

(John 11:25-26, 2 Corinthians 5:8)

• Faith: For those who have put their faith in Jesus, death leads to eternal life in God's presence. We look forward to the resurrection and the new creation, where we will live in perfect communion with God.
