What does it mean to be “born again”? To be “born again” means to receive new spiritual life from God — a fresh start so deep that Jesus compared it to being born a second time. It is not self-improvement but a change God works in a person who trusts in Christ. Who was Nicodemus in the Bible? Nicodemus was a Pharisee and member of the Jewish ruling council who came to Jesus at night with questions. He appears three times in John’s Gospel and moves from cautious curiosity to openly honoring Jesus at his burial. What is the gospel? The gospel — the word means “good news” — is the message that God has acted in Jesus Christ to rescue sinful people: Jesus died for our sins, rose from the dead, and offers forgiveness and eternal life to all who trust in him. How can I be saved? The Bible teaches that a person is saved by trusting in Jesus Christ — believing that he died for your sins and rose again, turning from sin, and relying on him rather than your own goodness. Salvation is received as a gift, not earned. What is grace in the Bible? Grace is God’s unearned favor — kindness and forgiveness given to people who could never deserve it. In the Bible, grace is the basis of salvation: God gives what we need freely, on the basis of Christ’s work rather than our performance. What is eternal life? Eternal life is the unending life with God that begins the moment a person trusts in Jesus. It is not only life that lasts forever, but a quality of life — knowing God personally — that death cannot end. Why did Jesus have to die? The Bible teaches that Jesus died to pay the penalty for human sin, so that God could forgive people justly and offer them eternal life. His death was the costly way God’s love and justice met. What does it mean to be saved by faith? To be saved by faith means that we are made right with God by trusting in Jesus, not by earning it through good deeds. Faith is the empty hand that receives what God freely gives in Christ. Who is Jesus? Jesus of Nazareth is, according to the Bible, the Son of God who became human — fully God and fully man. He lived a sinless life, died for sin, and rose from the dead, and he is the center of the Christian faith. What is sin? Sin is anything that breaks God’s law and falls short of his character — in action, word, thought, or attitude. At its root, sin is turning away from God to go our own way. What is faith? Faith is trust — confident reliance on God and his promises. The Bible calls it “the assurance of what we hope for and the certainty of what we do not see” (Hebrews 11:1). It is trust grounded in God’s character, not blind belief. What is prayer? Prayer is talking with God — bringing him our worship, thanks, confession, and requests. It is the way a relationship with God is carried on, made possible because Jesus opened the way to the Father. How do I pray? You can pray simply by speaking honestly to God in your own words. Jesus taught a helpful pattern in the Lord’s Prayer: praise God, seek his will, ask for daily needs, request forgiveness, and ask for help against temptation. Who is the Holy Spirit? The Holy Spirit is God — the third person of the Trinity — who lives in believers, helps them understand Scripture, convicts of sin, and produces Christlike character. He is a person, not a force. What is the Trinity? The Trinity is the Christian teaching that there is one God who eternally exists as three persons — Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Not three gods, and not one person in three modes, but one God in three persons. What is repentance? Repentance is a change of mind and direction — turning away from sin and turning toward God. It is more than feeling sorry; it is a reorientation of the heart and life that goes hand in hand with faith. What does the Bible say happens when you die? The Bible teaches that death is not the end. Each person continues to exist beyond the grave and will ultimately be raised, facing either eternal life with God or separation from him — with that destiny tied to one’s relationship with Christ. Is the Bible reliable? Christians hold that the Bible is reliable — historically well-attested and, more importantly, God’s trustworthy word. It was written by many authors over centuries yet tells one coherent story centered on Jesus. What is baptism? Baptism is a public sign of belonging to Jesus — symbolizing being washed from sin and united to Christ in his death and resurrection. It is an outward expression of an inward faith, commanded by Jesus for his followers. What is the meaning of life according to the Bible? The Bible teaches that life’s meaning is found in knowing and glorifying God — loving him and loving others. We were made by God and for relationship with him, and we flourish when we live for that purpose. What is the church? In the Bible, the church is not a building but the people — all those who belong to Jesus, gathered locally to worship, grow, and serve, and united worldwide as one body with Christ as the head. What does it mean to fear God? To fear God means to hold him in deep reverence and awe — taking him seriously as God — rather than being terrified of him. It is the respect and trust that rightly shapes how we live before our Maker. What is worship? Worship is giving God the honor he deserves — with our words, songs, attention, and whole lives. It is both gathered (praising God together) and daily (offering our ordinary lives to him). What is the kingdom of God? The kingdom of God is God’s reign — his rule and reign breaking into the world through Jesus. It is both already here, wherever God is honored as King, and not yet fully come, awaiting Christ’s return. Can you lose your salvation? Christians hold different views, but the New Testament gives strong assurance that God keeps those who truly trust in Christ. Salvation rests on God’s faithfulness and Christ’s finished work, not on our ability to hold on. What is hope in the Bible? Biblical hope is not wishful thinking but confident expectation — a settled trust that God will keep his promises. It is anchored in God’s character and in the resurrection of Jesus. What is love according to the Bible? In the Bible, love is not mainly a feeling but a committed, self-giving choice to seek another’s good — modeled supremely by God’s love for us in Jesus. It acts, serves, forgives, and endures. What is heaven? Heaven is the place and reality of God’s presence — life with God, free from sin, suffering, and death. The Bible’s ultimate hope is not floating on clouds but a renewed creation where God dwells with his people. What is hell? Hell is the Bible’s sobering word for final separation from God — the outcome of rejecting him. Scripture speaks of it seriously and soberly, which is part of why the good news of rescue in Jesus is so urgent. What is communion (the Lord’s Supper)? Communion, also called the Lord’s Supper, is the meal of bread and cup that Jesus gave his followers to remember his death for them. Christians share it together to proclaim and receive again the heart of the gospel. How do I know God is real? Christians point to several pointers — the existence and order of the universe, the moral sense within us, the historical person of Jesus, and personal experience of God — while acknowledging that trusting God ultimately involves faith. What is the Great Commission? The Great Commission is Jesus’ command in Matthew 28:19–20 to go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing and teaching them. It is the church’s mission, carried out in his authority and with his presence.
