Everyone has questions. Young children ask "why?" Teenagers ask "why not?" Adults sometimes lament "what if?" The God who created us and who loves us has given us the answers to life's most pressing questions in His Word. Yet many people have no idea that God has the answers and has made them available in the Bible. Whether it is a question about where we will spend eternity or how to deal with the pain of a broken relationship, you can be sure it has been asked and answered already on www.GotQuestions.org, the source for this book. Sadly, many individuals and ministries who offer advice are not biblically and theologically solid. That's why Got Questions? is crucially needed-a resource that answers questions explicitly from a biblical perspective, with solid evangelical theology. Written in an easy-to-understand format and organized in easy-to-follow sections, Got Questions? will help readers find the answers to the most frequently asked questions regarding spiritual matters. The questions were asked by real people struggling through real-life issues who received solid, practical answers from the Bible. The articles in this volume are compiled from the more than 1,600 frequently-asked questions on our website, which are read over 3 million times each month. Some of the articles have been translated into more than 110 languages. Many books present teaching in a question-and-answer format, but few have delved into the questions that people are actually asking. Having received and answered more than 200,000 questions, Got Questions Ministries has a unique understanding of what questions are truly on people's minds.
Salvation is the rich and rewarding theme of Scripture. From beginning to end, we see a God who seeks the lost in order to forgive their sins and restore their fellowship. According to 1 Peter 1:10, "Concerning this salvation, the prophets, who spoke of the grace that was to come to you, searched intently and with the greatest care" We should want to know more about it too. There is nothing more important than our response to God's grace. Near the end of his life, hymn writer John Newton said, "My memory is nearly gone; but I remember two things: that I am a great sinner and that Christ is a great Savior" It is, in fact, vital to have a biblical understanding of salvation. Questions such as Who can be saved? What is the gospel? and "Why did Jesus have to die? are of primary importance. Fortunately, the Bible answers these questions and many more. This book takes one hundred questions about salvation and addresses them with God's Own Word. The Lord, the Author of salvation, came "to seek and to save what was lost" (Luke 19:10), and He is the focal point of these answers.
