If you’re new to faith, are exploring Christianity for the first time or have been a Jesus follower for years, there’s a good chance you’ve had your share of questions.
Christianity welcomes honest curiosity, and many people grow closer to God not by having all the answers but by seeking truth.
Top Questions About Christianity
Some of the most common questions people ask about Christianity include:
- Who is Jesus?
- Why would a good God allow suffering?
- What does it mean to “be saved?”
- How can we trust that God is real?
- Why does reading the Bible matter?
- Does God really answer our prayers?
- What happens to us after death?
- Why is there such a heavy emphasis on sin in Christianity?
- How can you “hear the voice of God?”
- What does it look like to follow Jesus daily?
If you’ve ever asked yourself any of the questions above, you’re not alone. The Bible encourages us to come to God with our questions.
In the gospel of Matthew, the Bible tells us, “Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find.” – Matthew 7:7 (NIV)
Faith can grow as we continue learning, asking questions and inviting God into the process. The thing that matters most is our heart posture as we long to know God more deeply.
Daily Reflection on Christianity
Inhale. Exhale. Invite God into your space as you work through the following prompts.
- What questions about faith have been preventing me from going “all in” with God?
- Am I comfortable bringing my doubts or curiosity to God? Or do I refrain from doing so?
- Is there anyone in my life I could bring my questions to that could help me understand faith deeper?
- What does my current relationship with God mean to me in this season?
A Prayer for Understanding
“Jesus. Thank you for loving me as I am. Thank you for welcoming curiosity and questions as I seek to know you more.
I ask for wisdom as I continue exploring faith. Guide me to deeper understanding of who You are. When I feel uncertain, remind me that You are patient and always near.
You see the posture of my heart. I ask that You align it with Yours. Amen.”
