Self Test

Right now I'm reading the book Growing Up Christian by Karl Graustein. The book is written for young people growing up in Christian homes. The book offers many opportunities to examine yourself and see if you're in the faith or trying to ride along on the faith and beliefs of your parents. At the end of the chapter More than Mimicking Mom and Dad, there is a self-test that gives an opportunity to examine yourself and ask what you believe and why you believe it. I think the questions are worth asking, and they are questions everyone should have an answer for, so I thought I would include them in this blog post:

1. What would you say to someone who asked why you believe God exists?

2. What would you say to someone who asked why you believe the Bible is true?

3. What would you say to someone who asked why it is wrong to lie?

4. What would you say to someone who asked how you know heaven is real?

5. What would you say to someone who asked why you believe Christianity is true and other faiths (such as Mormon, Jehovah's Witnesses, New Age) are false?

6. What would you say to someone who asked why you attend church every Sunday?

7. What would you say to someone who asked how you know Jesus is truly God and not just a great prophet?

8. What would you say to someone who asked why you are a Christian?
