FORTY ANSWERED QUESTIONS

FROM THE WORD OF GOD

     
  1. How shall I overcome the world?

    Colossians 3
    1  If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God.
    2  Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.
    3  For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God.
    4  When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory.
    5  Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry:
    6  For which things' sake the wrath of God cometh on the children of disobedience:

    1 John 5
    4  For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.
    5  Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?

    Galatians 1
    4  Who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us from this present evil world, according to the will of God and our Father:








     
  2. Why do good Christians have so much trouble in the world?

    1 Corinthians 11
    32  But when we are judged, we are chastened of the Lord, that we should not be condemned with the world.

    Psalm 94
    12  Blessed is the man whom thou chastenest, O LORD, and teachest him out of thy law;
    13  That thou mayest give him rest from the days of adversity, until the pit be digged for the wicked.

    Hebrews 12
    6  For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth.
    7  If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not?
    8  But if ye be without chastisement, whereof all are partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons.
    9  Furthermore we have had fathers of our flesh which corrected us, and we gave them reverence: shall we not much rather be in subjection unto the Father of spirits, and live?
    10  For they verily for a few days chastened us after their own pleasure; but he for our profit, that we might be partakers of his holiness.
    11  Now no chastening for the present seemeth to be joyous, but grievous: nevertheless afterward it yieldeth the peaceable fruit of righteousness unto them which are exercised thereby.

    1 Peter 4
    12  Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you:
    13  But rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ's sufferings; that, when his glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad also with exceeding joy.
    14  If ye be reproached for the name of Christ, happy are ye; for the spirit of glory and of God resteth upon you: on their part he is evil spoken of, but on your part he is glorified.
    15  But let none of you suffer as a murderer, or as a thief, or as an evildoer, or as a busybody in other men's matters.
    16  Yet if any man suffer as a Christian, let him not be ashamed; but let him glorify God on this behalf.
    17  For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God?
    18  And if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear?
    19  Wherefore let them that suffer according to the will of God commit the keeping of their souls to him in well doing, as unto a faithful Creator.








     
  3. How shall I find deliverance from the power of sins that I have practiced?

    Romans 6
    9  Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death hath no more dominion over him.
    10  For in that he died, he died unto sin once: but in that he liveth, he liveth unto God.
    11  Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord.
    12  Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof.
    13  Neither yield ye your members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: but yield yourselves unto God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness unto God.
    14  For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace.

    Ephesians 6
    10  Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.
    11  Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
    12  For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
    13  Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
    14  Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;
    15  And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;
    16  Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.
    17  And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:
    18  Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;

    1 Peter 5
    6  Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time:
    7  Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.
    8  Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:
    9  Whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world.
    10  But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you.








     
  4. If I sin after I become a Christian, will God forgive me?

    Romans 13
    14  But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof.

    1 John 2
    1  My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous:
    2  And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world.

    Hebrews 4
    14  Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession.
    15  For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin.
    16  Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.

    James 5
    16  Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.

    Matthew 18
    21  Then came Peter to him, and said, Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? till seven times?
    22  Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, Until seven times: but, Until seventy times seven.








     
  5. What is the sin against the Holy Ghost?

    Mark 3
    28  Verily I say unto you, All sins shall be forgiven unto the sons of men, and blasphemies wherewith soever they shall blaspheme:
    29  But he that shall blaspheme against the Holy Ghost hath never forgiveness, but is in danger of eternal damnation.
    30  Because they said, He hath an unclean spirit.

    Hebrews 10
    28  He that despised Moses' law died without mercy under two or three witnesses:
    29  Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace?

    Acts 8
    18  And when Simon saw that through laying on of the apostles' hands the Holy Ghost was given, he offered them money,
    19  Saying, Give me also this power, that on whomsoever I lay hands, he may receive the Holy Ghost.
    20  But Peter said unto him, Thy money perish with thee, because thou hast thought that the gift of God may be purchased with money.
    21  Thou hast neither part nor lot in this matter: for thy heart is not right in the sight of God.
    22  Repent therefore of this thy wickedness, and pray God, if perhaps the thought of thine heart may be forgiven thee.
    23  For I perceive that thou art in the gall of bitterness, and in the bond of iniquity.








     
  6. How will I know that I am one of the elect?

    John 3
    16  For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

    John 6
    37  All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out.

    John 10
    9  I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture.

    Revelation 22
    17  And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely.
