Benefit From What the Bible Teaches

Do not quickly dismiss what is presented on the preceding pages as mere wishful thinking.  God has promised to bring these things about, and the Bible explains how he will do so.

But the Bible does more than that.  It provides the key to your enjoying a truly satisfying life even now.  Think for a moment about your own anxieties and trouble.  They may include money matters, family problems, lost of health, or the death of a loved one.  The Bible can help you to deal with problems to day,  and it can  provide relief by answering such questions as these:

* Why do we suffer?
*How can we cope with life's anxieties?
*How can we make our family life happier?
*What happens to us when we die?
*Will we ever see our dead loved ones again?
*How can we be sure that God will fulfill his promises for the future?

The fact that you are reading this shows that you would like to find out what the Bible teaches.  (Not what the false prophets in the churches are preaching to you. They skip a lot of verses, so you don't learn all of  what  the Bible teaches; just what they want you to know and what Satan wants you to know.)


What Is the Truth About God? Chapter One

HAVE  you noticed the way children ask questions? Many start asking as soon as they learn to speak. With  wide, eager eyes, they look up at you and ask such things as :  Whey is the sky blue? what are the stars made of? Who taught the birds to sing?  You may hard to answer, but it is not always easy.  Even your best answer may lead to yet another question: Why?

Children are not the only ones who ask questions. As we grow up, we keep asking. We do this in order to find our way, to learn of dangers that we need to avoid, or to satisfy our curiosity.  But many people seem to stop asking questions, especially the most important ones. At least, they stop searching for the answers.

Think about the question, What Does the Bible Really Teach?  the questions raised in the beginning of the blog, or those at the beginning of this chapter.  These are some of the most important questions you can ask. Yet, many people have given up trying to find the answers.  Why?  Does the Bible have the answers?  Some feel that its answers are too hard to understand.  Others worry that asking questions could lead to shame or embarrassment. And some decide that such questions are best left to religious leaders and teacher.  What about you? (Of course most of these religious leaders will not tell the whole truth, because they do not understand the whole of the Bible-because God would not permit them to understand it, for reasons of his own)

Very likely you are interested in getting answers to life's big questions. No doubt you sometimes wonder:  'What is the purpose of life? Is this life all there is? What is God really like?' It is good to ask such questions, and it is important  that you do not give up until you find satisfying, reliable answers.  (Jehovah's Witnesses can give you those. I had the same questions and got them from these true truth givers) The famous  teacher Jesus Christ said:  "Keep on asking, and it will be given you; keep on seeking and you will find; keep on knocking, and it will be opened to you." -Matthew 7:7.

If you "keep on seeking"  for answers to the important questions, you will find that the search can be very rewarding.  (Proverbs 2:1-5)  (Yes, they can be; and when you find out all you ask, it will hit you like a rock and you will go Oh Wow! It did me. that is when I knew  that it was right.)  Despite what other people may have told you, there are answers, and you can find them-in the Bible.  The answers are not too hard to understand. Better yet, they bring hope and joy. And they can help you to live a satisfying life right now.  To begin, let us consider a question that has troubled many people.
