Solomon is built upon historic, biblical Christianity. Every answer is intended to honor the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, while remaining faithful to the Holy Scriptures. Solomon exists to point people to Jesus Christ, the Gospel, and the truth revealed in God's Word.
Before you ask Solomon a question, please know this: someone has already prayed that you would find hope in Jesus Christ.
A personal vision of deception, judgment, mercy, and the outstretched hand of Jesus Christ.
Solomon For Jesus stands on the truth that there is one true and living God. He is the Maker of heaven and earth, the Sustainer of life, and the Lord over all creation. He is holy, eternal, all-knowing, all-powerful, righteous, merciful, and perfect in every way. The one God has eternally revealed Himself as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. He reigns with wisdom and sovereign authority, and all things exist for His glory.
Scripture references: Genesis 1:1; Deuteronomy 6:4; Matthew 28:19; John 1:1–3; 2 Corinthians 13:14; Ephesians 1:11; Revelation 4:11
The foundation for Solomon’s answers is the Holy Bible. The Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments are God’s inspired Word, written through human authors under His authority. The Bible is true and trustworthy, without error, and sufficient to reveal the way of salvation. It is the final authority for what Solomon teaches concerning God, mankind, sin, salvation, truth, wisdom, morality, and eternal life.
Scripture references: Psalm 19:7–11; Psalm 119:105; John 17:17; 2 Timothy 3:16–17; 2 Peter 1:20–21; Hebrews 4:12
We confess that human beings are not accidents of nature. God created mankind in His own image, male and female, with dignity, moral responsibility, and eternal significance. Yet mankind has fallen into sin. Adam and Eve disobeyed God, and sin entered the human race. Every person has sinned, stands guilty before a Holy God, and cannot rescue himself by effort, goodness, religion, or human wisdom.
Scripture references: Genesis 1:26–27; Genesis 3:1–24; Romans 3:10–12; Romans 3:23; Romans 5:12; Romans 6:23; Ephesians 2:1–3
The hope of mankind is Jesus Christ. He is the eternal Son of God, fully God and fully man. He was conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary. He lived a sinless life, revealed the Father perfectly, fulfilled the promises of Scripture, and is the only Savior given for sinners. He was crucified under Pontius Pilate, truly died, was buried, rose bodily from the dead, ascended into heaven, and now sits at the right hand of the Father.
Scripture references: Isaiah 7:14; Matthew 1:20–23; John 1:1, 14; John 14:6; Acts 2:22–24; Acts 4:12; 1 Corinthians 15:3–4; Colossians 1:15–20; Hebrews 1:1–4
At the cross, Jesus Christ gave Himself as the perfect sacrifice for sin. He stood in the place of sinners, bore the judgment sin deserves, and shed His blood so that forgiveness, reconciliation, and eternal life could be given by grace. His resurrection declares His victory over sin, death, and the grave. Salvation is found in Christ alone and is received by God’s grace through repentance and faith, not by human merit or works.
Scripture references: Isaiah 53:4–6; Mark 10:45; John 3:16–18; Romans 5:8–11; 2 Corinthians 5:21; Ephesians 2:8–9; Titus 3:5; 1 Peter 2:24
We believe the Holy Spirit is fully God and actively at work in the world. He glorifies Jesus Christ, convicts people of sin, brings sinners to new birth, and unites believers with Christ. He dwells within God’s people, teaches them, guides them, strengthens them, gives spiritual gifts, produces Christlike character, and empowers them to live faithfully before the Lord.
Scripture references: John 3:5–8; John 14:16–17; John 15:26; John 16:7–14; Romans 8:9–16; 1 Corinthians 12:4–13; Galatians 5:22–23; Titus 3:5
We believe Jesus Christ will return personally, bodily, visibly, and gloriously. The day and hour are known only to God, but His return is certain. Until that day, believers are called to watchfulness, holiness, courage, endurance, prayer, love, witness, and faithful service.
Scripture references: Matthew 24:36–44; Acts 1:11; 1 Thessalonians 4:16–18; Titus 2:11–14; 2 Peter 3:10–13; Revelation 22:12
Because the Gospel is true, every person is called to respond. God commands all people everywhere to repent and believe in the Lord Jesus Christ. Those who reject Christ remain under condemnation. Those who receive Him by faith are forgiven, adopted into God’s family, and given eternal life. God will raise the dead and judge the world in righteousness. The unbeliever will face eternal conscious punishment, and the believer will enter everlasting joy with the Lord in the new heaven and the new earth.
Scripture references: Matthew 25:46; John 3:36; John 5:28–29; John 11:25–26; Acts 17:30–31; Romans 10:9–13; 2 Corinthians 5:10; Revelation 20:11–15; Revelation 21:1–4
Solomon For Jesus exists to answer from within this confession: Christ is Lord, Scripture is true, the Gospel is necessary, and the glory belongs to God.
Amen.
One day as I napped after a hard day’s work, I was given a vision.
In it, scenes from my life were vivid and relentless. As each scene scrolled through my mind I grew restless.
As the vision continued, I realized I had been quite successful in life.
I had accumulated some things and had suffered no loss of children or wife.
I had it all, comfort, possessions, family, friends and the respect of the world.
Then I noticed the one, who many years before, had promised me a good life, full and satisfying. However, he had a different appearance from then, somehow aged and repulsive.
Then I noticed I was standing on the brink of a huge smoldering pit.
The fire was unquenchable and smelled horrible, as with the souls of many people.
The one whom I had served told me, it is time, you must jump in.
From the other side of the pit, I heard a still small voice.
I saw one standing there dressed in a brilliant white robe, hand out-stretched.
“There is still time” he said. You now see the lies of your father; your destiny is still yours.
Just then, the one I had followed charged straight at me as to push me over the brink into the only hell I would have ever known.
As I tumbled head over heels into the abyss, I suddenly, awoke.
These words were now scrolling through my mind, “For God so Loved the World that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life”.
There had been one reaching out to me (that I had ignored) as I walked through my life. Oh Lord, I thank you for rescuing me from the father of lies, from my arrogant and prideful heart.
Thank You Lord for pursuing me, for Loving me, for Patience and Grace.
There is still time. If you are ready to turn to Jesus Christ, ask Solomon, “How can I be saved?”
Before you ask Solomon a question, please know this: someone has already prayed that you would find hope in Jesus Christ.
Heavenly Father,
Remove me from this project.
Be my thoughts.
Be my words.
Guide my hands as I work.
Let everything built here point beyond me and toward Jesus Christ.
Draw to this place those who are searching, hurting, doubting, afraid, or simply curious. Bring the man who cannot sleep at two in the morning. Bring the young woman wondering if You could ever love her. Bring the husband whose marriage is falling apart. Bring the grieving, the lonely, the skeptic, the prodigal, and the one who has not walked into a church for many years.
May they encounter not merely a website, but the living Lord Jesus Christ through the truth of the Gospel.
Reveal to them that You are holy, that You are love, and that through Jesus Christ You have made a way for sinners to be forgiven and reconciled to You.
Open their eyes to the hope found in Christ alone. Give them the courage to come to Him in repentance and faith, and write their names in the Book of Life according to Your grace and mercy.
Use me only as Your servant. Guard my heart from pride and self-promotion. If anything here accomplishes eternal good, may all glory belong to You alone.
Make Solomon a faithful tool in Your hands. May every article, every answer, every conversation, and every invitation gently lead people toward Jesus.
May Your will be done.
In the precious name of Jesus Christ, my Lord and Savior,
Amen.
There is still time. If you are ready to turn to Jesus Christ, ask Solomon, “How can I be saved?”
Featured Article
Most people do not begin the day thinking about eternity. Life is filled with work, bills, family, and the problems directly in front of us. Yet the deepest questions do not disappear. Why am I here? Can God forgive me? What happens when this life ends? Jesus Christ matters because He stands at the center of every one of those questions—and because He did not come merely to teach us, but to save us.
Clear, thoughtful articles for life’s deepest questions—grounded in Scripture and centered on Jesus Christ.
Most people do not begin the day thinking about eternity. They wake up, go to work, pay bills, care for family, solve problems, and try to make it through another week. Life keeps moving, and the deepest questions are easy to postpone.
But they do not go away.
Why am I here? What has gone wrong with the world? What has gone wrong inside me? Is there a God who knows me? Can I be forgiven? What happens when this life ends?
Jesus Christ matters because He stands at the center of every one of those questions.
The Bible does not present Jesus merely as a wise teacher, a religious reformer, or a good man whose example we should admire. It declares that He is the eternal Son of God who entered the world He created.
“All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made.”
John 1:3, NKJV
The One who walked the dusty roads of Galilee is the One through whom the stars were formed. He knew hunger, weariness, sorrow, rejection, and pain, yet He never ceased to be Lord. Jesus matters because God did not remain distant from our suffering. He came near.
And He came for a reason.
Our greatest problem is not simply that life is difficult or that the world is unfair. Our deepest problem is sin. We have turned from God, chosen our own way, and failed to love Him and one another as we should. Scripture says plainly:
“For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.”
Romans 3:23, NKJV
That includes respectable people and ruined people, religious people and skeptical people, the outwardly successful and the openly broken. We may hide our guilt from neighbors, family, and even ourselves, but we cannot hide it from God.
Yet Jesus did not come merely to expose our sin. He came to save us from it.
He lived the righteous life we have not lived. He showed mercy to the ashamed, touched those others avoided, welcomed repentant sinners, confronted proud hearts, and spoke truth without fear. Then He willingly went to the cross.
There, Jesus took upon Himself the judgment sinners deserved.
“Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures.”
1 Corinthians 15:3, NKJV
The cross was not an unfortunate ending to an otherwise inspiring life. It was the mission. Jesus stood in the place of guilty people. The sinless Son of God bore sin so that sinners could be forgiven, cleansed, and reconciled to God.
But the cross was not the end.
On the third day, Jesus rose bodily from the grave. Death could not hold Him. The tomb was opened, the stone was rolled away, and the risen Christ appeared to His followers. His resurrection was God’s declaration that the sacrifice had been accepted and that death itself had been defeated.
Jesus matters because He is alive.
He is not merely a memory from ancient history. He reigns now. He hears prayer now. He forgives now. He changes lives now. He gives peace to the guilty, hope to the grieving, strength to the weary, and eternal life to those who trust Him.
And this is where the question becomes personal.
It is possible to know facts about Jesus and still refuse Him. It is possible to admire His teachings while keeping Him at a safe distance. It is possible to attend church, own a Bible, and speak religious language without ever surrendering to Christ.
Jesus did not say, “Consider Me when convenient.” He said:
“I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.”
John 14:6, NKJV
That claim leaves no room for treating Him as one spiritual option among many. If Jesus is who He said He is, then no decision matters more than what you do with Him.
Your achievements cannot erase your sin. Your good intentions cannot conquer death. Religion cannot manufacture eternal life. Money cannot purchase peace with God. Time will not make the question disappear.
But Jesus can save you.
He invites you to turn from sin, stop trusting in yourself, and place your faith in Him. Salvation is not earned by becoming good enough. It is received by grace through faith in the crucified and risen Christ.
“Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved.”
Acts 16:31, NKJV
Jesus matters because without Him we remain separated from God, guilty in our sin, and unprepared for eternity.
Jesus matters because He loved sinners enough to die in their place.
Jesus matters because He rose from the dead.
Jesus matters because He is Lord.
And Jesus matters because, right now, He is calling you to come.
Do not wait for a better time, a cleaner past, or a more convenient moment. Come to Christ as you are. Ask Solomon 2.0, “How can I be saved?”
The Gospel is often reduced to a slogan because its words are familiar. But familiar words can conceal an earthshaking truth.
The Gospel is not advice about how people might climb their way to God. It is the announcement that God came down to rescue people who could not save themselves.
Humanity’s separation from God is real. Our attempts to repair it are powerless. God Himself has crossed the distance in Jesus Christ.
That is the Gospel.
We do not need to be theologians to recognize that the world is not as it should be.
We see cruelty, betrayal, injustice, disease, grief, loneliness, aging, and death. We watch nations rage against nations. Families fracture. People wound one another, sometimes deliberately and sometimes through selfishness, carelessness, or pride.
We feel the fracture within ourselves as well.
We know what it is to regret words we cannot retrieve. We make promises and break them. We recognize what is right, yet still choose what is wrong. Even our finest moments are mixed with motives we would rather not examine too closely.
Something has gone wrong with the world, and something has gone wrong within us.
The Bible calls that condition sin.
Sin is more than violating a list of religious rules. It is humanity turning away from its Creator and attempting to live independently of Him. It is the creature saying to the Creator, in countless ways, “I will decide for myself what is good, what is true, and how my life should be lived.”
Sin separates us from the holy God who gave us life.
“For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.”
Romans 3:23, NKJV
It is easier to see the evil done to us than the evil that passes through us.
We may blame our upbringing, circumstances, culture, temptations, or the failures of others. Those things can wound us deeply and shape our lives powerfully. But none of them fully removes our responsibility before God.
Human beings are victims of a broken world, but we are also participants in its brokenness.
The darkness is not found only in dictators, criminals, or distant societies. It appears in ordinary hearts through envy, dishonesty, lust, hatred, greed, arrogance, bitterness, and indifference.
The Gospel begins with honesty.
We cannot understand the greatness of rescue until we understand the reality of the danger.
Most people try, in one way or another, to make themselves acceptable.
Some attempt it through religion. Others through charity, morality, success, knowledge, political causes, personal discipline, or simply trying to be better than the people around them.
Good works matter. Kindness matters. Justice matters. Obedience matters. But none of these can erase guilt or make a sinful person holy before God.
A person may polish the outside of life while remaining separated from God within.
We cannot undo yesterday’s sin by behaving better tomorrow. We cannot repay an infinite moral debt with a collection of finite good deeds. We cannot climb high enough, work hard enough, become religious enough, or reinvent ourselves thoroughly enough to reach God.
The distance is not measured in miles.
It is moral and spiritual.
And we are powerless to cross it.
This is where the Gospel becomes good news.
God did not abandon humanity to its rebellion. He did not merely send another teacher, philosopher, prophet, or moral reformer. He came to us in Jesus Christ.
The eternal Son of God entered the human condition. Jesus lived among the people He had created. He experienced hunger, exhaustion, rejection, sorrow, temptation, suffering, and death—yet He remained without sin.
He did what we could not do.
Then He willingly went to the cross.
The cross was not an unfortunate ending to a promising life. It was the purpose for which He came. Jesus bore the judgment sinners deserved. He stood in the place of the guilty and gave His life as the sacrifice for sin.
God’s justice was not ignored. His holiness was not compromised. Sin was judged, and mercy was offered.
“But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.”
Romans 5:8, NKJV
The Gospel is not the story of humanity finally finding a path upward.
It is the story of God coming down.
It is easy to look at the cross as an event from long ago—something that happened to Jesus in another place, among another people, in another time.
But the cross was not distant from you.
Imagine Jesus raising His head beneath the crushing weight of His suffering. Through the blood, the pain, and the anguish, His piercing eyes look beyond the soldiers, beyond the mocking crowd, and beyond Jerusalem.
He peers through all of history—past, present, and future.
His eyes focus upon every person who has ever lived and every person who ever will.
And then they focus upon you.
It is as though Jesus is saying:
“I AM doing this for you! Please do not let My pain and anguish go unheeded. Love Me. Trust Me. Trust Me alone!”
The cross was not an impersonal payment made for a faceless mass of humanity. Jesus knew exactly whom He was dying to save.
He saw every failure.
Every betrayal.
Every hidden sin.
Every broken promise.
Every act of selfishness, rebellion, cruelty, and unbelief.
He saw the worst in us—and He continued toward the cross.
The nails were real.
The wounds were real.
The humiliation was real.
The anguish was real.
And His love was real.
Then, as Jesus hung upon the cross, the world went dark.
The sinless Son of God was carrying the accumulated guilt of humanity. Every sin of the past, every sin being committed at that very moment, and every sin that would ever be committed was placed upon Him.
Father God accepted the offering of Jesus Christ as enough to pay for all sin for all time.
But God is holy. He cannot dwell in the presence of sin. And as Jesus bore the full weight of humanity’s sin, the Father had to turn His back upon His Son.
For the first time in all eternity, Jesus was literally alone.
The One who had always known the perfect presence of His Father could no longer sense Him at His side.
Out of that unbearable darkness, Jesus cried:
“My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?”
Matthew 27:46, NKJV
Consider how terrifying that must have been for our King.
The physical torture was horrific. His body had been beaten, torn, pierced, and nailed to wood. Breathing required agony. The people He came to save mocked Him as He died.
But now there was something even more terrible.
His Father had turned away.
Jesus stood alone beneath the entire judgment of God against sin.
He could have ended it.
He had already said that He could call upon His Father and more than twelve legions of angels would come to Him. Heaven’s armies stood ready. At one word from their King, they could have descended upon those who mocked, beat, and crucified Him.
And who could have blamed Him?
Who could have blamed Jesus if He had finally said, “Enough”?
Who could have blamed Him if He had called the angels, shattered the cross, destroyed His tormentors, and returned to the glory of heaven?
But He did not.
Even the darkness could not bend our Savior’s will.
Even abandonment could not defeat His purpose.
Even the terror of standing alone beneath the judgment for every human sin could not cause Him to turn away.
Jesus looked straight ahead into all eternity.
He saw the people His sacrifice would save.
He saw sinners forgiven.
He saw the guilty made clean.
He saw the lost brought home.
He saw broken lives restored.
He saw men, women, and children from every tribe, language, people, and nation standing before His throne.
He saw you.
And Jesus decided:
“You are worth it.”
Not because you were innocent.
Not because you had earned His mercy.
Not because you deserved the price He was paying.
You were worth it because He chose to love you with a love greater than your sin, stronger than death, and more determined than all the powers of hell.
So He remained upon the cross.
He did not call the angels.
He did not turn away.
He did not quit.
He endured the nails.
He endured the darkness.
He endured the loneliness.
He endured the full judgment for sin.
And when the price had been completely paid, Jesus declared:
“It is finished!”
What a Savior. What a King. What a Hero we have in Jesus Christ!
If Jesus had remained in the grave, there would be no Gospel.
But on the third day, He rose bodily from the dead.
The resurrection was God’s declaration that Christ’s sacrifice was accepted, death had been defeated, and the reign of sin would not have the final word.
Jesus Christ is not merely a figure from history whose teachings survived Him. He is alive. He reigns. He saves.
Because He lives, forgiveness is real.
Because He lives, reconciliation with God is possible.
Because He lives, death is not the end for those who belong to Him.
Because He lives, hope is not wishful thinking.
It rests upon an empty tomb.
Religion often begins with instruction:
Do this. Avoid that. Improve yourself. Perform the ceremony. Follow the rules. Prove your worth. Perhaps then you will be accepted.
The Gospel begins with an announcement:
Christ has come.
Christ has died.
Christ has risen.
The work of salvation has been accomplished.
This does not mean that the Gospel makes no demands. It calls every person to repent and believe. But repentance and faith are not payments offered to God. They do not purchase salvation.
They are the empty hands that receive what Christ has already provided.
“For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God.”
Ephesians 2:8, NKJV
Salvation is not a reward for the respectable.
It is grace for the guilty.
The Gospel is sometimes presented only as a way to avoid hell. Deliverance from judgment is certainly part of its promise, but the Gospel offers far more than escape.
Through Jesus Christ, sinners are forgiven and reconciled to God.
Those who trust Him are adopted into God’s family. They receive the Holy Spirit. Their lives are given a new direction. They begin learning to love what God loves, reject what once ruled them, forgive as they have been forgiven, and live as citizens of Christ’s kingdom.
This transformation is not completed instantly. Christians still struggle, stumble, repent, and grow. But they no longer face life alone, and they no longer belong to the darkness from which they were rescued.
The Gospel restores what sin destroyed.
Peace with God.
A cleansed conscience.
A new identity.
A living hope.
A future resurrection.
Eternal life in the presence of Christ.
News of this magnitude cannot remain merely interesting.
Jesus did not come simply to provide inspiration, improve society, or add a spiritual dimension to otherwise unchanged lives. He came to seek and save the lost.
The Gospel confronts every person with a decision.
Will we continue trusting ourselves, defending our sin, and living apart from the God who made us?
Or will we turn to Jesus Christ in repentance and faith?
The Gospel does not ask us to pretend that we are better than we are.
It asks us to admit that we cannot save ourselves.
It does not promise that religious effort will make us worthy.
It declares that Christ is worthy and that His grace is sufficient.
It does not tell us to cross the distance to God.
It announces that God has crossed the distance to us.
That is why the Gospel is good news.
Humanity’s separation from God is real. Our attempts to repair it are powerless. But God Himself has come near in Jesus Christ.
He died for sinners.
He rose from the dead.
He offers forgiveness, reconciliation, new life, and eternal hope to all who repent and believe.
The distance has been crossed.
The way home is open.
And His name is Jesus Christ.
Do not let this good news pass you by. If you are ready to turn to Jesus Christ, ask Solomon 2.0, “How can I be saved?”
Most people have heard the name Jesus.
Some know Him as the child in the manger. Others think of Him as a great teacher, a miracle worker, or a moral example. Some respect Him while keeping Him at a distance. Others have rejected a version of Jesus they were never properly taught in the first place.
But the question remains:
Who is Jesus Christ?
The Bible’s answer is far greater than many expect.
Jesus did not begin His existence in Bethlehem. Before He was born into this world, He already was. He is the eternal Son of God.
The Gospel of John begins with these words:
“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.”
John 1:1, NKJV
A few verses later, John makes clear that “the Word” is Jesus Christ:
“And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us.”
John 1:14, NKJV
Jesus is not a created being who later became important. He is not an angel elevated above the others. He is not merely a prophet sent to speak about God.
He is God the Son.
He existed before the world began. He shared glory with the Father before creation. All things were made through Him and for Him.
“For by Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible.”
Colossians 1:16, NKJV
The hands that touched the sick were the hands through which the universe was made. The voice that spoke peace to frightened disciples was the voice that commanded light to shine in the darkness.
Yet the eternal Son of God willingly entered His creation.
Jesus was conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary. He became truly human without ceasing to be truly God.
He grew. He learned. He became tired. He felt hunger and thirst. He wept at the grave of a friend. He experienced rejection, grief, pain, and temptation.
But He never sinned.
“For we do not have a High Priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but was in all points tempted as we are, yet without sin.”
Hebrews 4:15, NKJV
Jesus is fully God and fully man.
That truth is essential. If He were only a man, He could not save the world. If He had not truly become human, He could not stand in our place.
But because He is both God and man, He is the perfect Mediator between a holy God and sinful humanity.
Jesus did more than teach good principles.
He spoke with an authority unlike anyone around Him. He did not merely repeat the words of earlier teachers. He declared the truth of God with His own authority.
He forgave sins.
When Jesus told a paralyzed man that his sins were forgiven, the religious leaders understood the seriousness of His words. They asked:
“Who can forgive sins but God alone?”
Mark 2:7, NKJV
Their question was correct.
Only God can ultimately forgive sin. Jesus was not stealing God’s authority. He was revealing His identity.
He commanded storms, and the wind obeyed Him.
He cast out demons.
He healed the blind, cleansed lepers, strengthened crippled bodies, and raised the dead.
These miracles were not performances meant to entertain a crowd. They were signs. They revealed His compassion, His authority, and His identity.
Jesus also made claims no ordinary teacher could honestly make.
“He who has seen Me has seen the Father.”
John 14:9, NKJV
“Before Abraham was, I AM.”
John 8:58, NKJV
“I and My Father are one.”
John 10:30, NKJV
Those who heard Him understood what He was claiming. Jesus was not merely saying that He agreed with God. He was claiming a unique oneness with the Father and using language that belonged to God Himself.
This is why Jesus cannot be reduced to a nice religious teacher.
Jesus must be received as He truly is: the eternal Son, the promised Messiah, the Lord.
But Jesus did not come merely to prove who He was.
He came to save.
The Son of God entered a fallen world knowing where His path would lead. He knew He would be rejected. He knew He would be betrayed, beaten, mocked, and crucified.
Still, He came.
At the cross, Jesus willingly gave His life for sinners.
“For the Son of Man has come to seek and to save that which was lost.”
Luke 19:10, NKJV
Jesus was not helpless before His enemies. He said plainly:
“No one takes it from Me, but I lay it down of Myself.”
John 10:18, NKJV
He gave Himself.
On the cross, the sinless Christ bore the judgment of sin. He stood in the place of guilty people. He paid a debt He did not owe for people who could never pay it themselves.
“Who Himself bore our sins in His own body on the tree.”
1 Peter 2:24, NKJV
But Jesus did not remain in the grave.
On the third day, He rose bodily from the dead.
Christian faith does not rest upon a teacher whose life ended in defeat. It rests upon the risen Lord.
The resurrection declared that death had been conquered, Christ’s sacrifice had been accepted, and His claims were true.
Jesus appeared to His disciples. He spoke with them. He ate with them. They touched Him. He was not a vision, memory, or symbol.
He was alive.
Afterward, He ascended into heaven, where He reigns at the right hand of the Father.
Jesus is not waiting to become King someday.
He is King now.
He has been given all authority in heaven and on earth. He intercedes for His people. He builds His Church. He rules over history, even when the world appears chaotic and evil seems powerful.
“Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever.”
Hebrews 13:8, NKJV
And He will return.
The Jesus who came first in humility will come again in glory. He will not return as a helpless infant or a suffering servant. He will return as Judge and King.
Every wrong will be answered. Every hidden thing will be brought to light. Death will not have the final word. Evil will not rule forever.
Scripture says:
“Behold, He is coming with clouds, and every eye will see Him.”
Revelation 1:7, NKJV
So who is Jesus Christ?
He is the eternal Son of God.
He is the Creator who entered His creation.
He is fully God and fully man.
He is the sinless Savior.
He is the Lamb who died for sinners.
He is the risen Lord.
He is the reigning King.
He is the coming Judge.
And He is the only way to the Father.
The question is not merely whether Jesus once lived. The question is whether you will receive Him for who He is.
You may admire Him and still remain far from Him. You may know Bible stories and still refuse His rule. You may speak His name without trusting His sacrifice.
Jesus does not call you merely to study Him.
He calls you to follow Him.
He calls you to repent, believe, and surrender.
Thomas once stood before the risen Christ and said:
“My Lord and my God!”
John 20:28, NKJV
That is the right response.
Jesus Christ is not merely part of Christianity.
Jesus Christ is Christianity.
Without Him, there is no Gospel, no forgiveness, no reconciliation with God, and no eternal hope.
But with Him, sinners are forgiven, the lost are found, the guilty are cleansed, and the dead are promised resurrection.
Jesus Christ is Lord.
Ask Solomon 2.0, “How can I know Jesus Christ for myself?”
Perhaps you are not asking this question because you made a few ordinary mistakes.
Perhaps you have hurt people physically, morally, or emotionally.
Perhaps you have betrayed someone who trusted you, destroyed a marriage, abandoned your children, stolen from others, lived dishonestly, abused your authority, surrendered yourself to addiction, or carried bitterness and hatred for years.
Perhaps there are things in your past that you have never told another living soul.
Maybe your thoughts sound something like this:
“Can God forgive even such a heathen as me?”
Or perhaps your thoughts are even darker:
“You do not know what I have done. Charles Manson has nothing on me. Why should I expect forgiveness of any kind?”
If that is where you are, listen carefully.
The Bible does not answer your question by pretending your sins are small.
Some sins leave scars that never completely disappear in this life. Some destroy families. Some leave lifelong emotional wounds. Some result in imprisonment. Some bring broken health, terrible mental anguish, shattered reputations, financial ruin, or consequences that continue long after genuine repentance begins.
God never calls evil good.
He never asks us to pretend that sin does not matter.
The cross itself proves how serious sin really is.
Yet the Bible also declares something astonishing.
No one who truly comes to God through Jesus Christ in repentance and faith is beyond His mercy.
Jesus Christ came into the world to save sinners.
Not respectable sinners.
Not merely people with a few regrets.
Sinners.
The Apostle Paul had persecuted Christians before Christ saved him. Looking back upon his former life, he wrote:
“Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am chief.”
1 Timothy 1:15, NKJV
King David committed adultery and arranged the death of an innocent man. When confronted by God, he confessed his sin and cried out for mercy. God forgave him, although David still lived with painful earthly consequences.
The criminal hanging beside Jesus had no opportunity to repair his past or prove himself worthy. He simply turned to Christ in humble faith.
Jesus answered him:
“Assuredly, I say to you, today you will be with Me in Paradise.”
Luke 23:43, NKJV
God’s forgiveness does not always remove earthly consequences.
A forgiven thief may still serve a prison sentence.
A forgiven drunk driver may still live with debilitating injuries or the knowledge that another person was permanently harmed.
A forgiven husband or wife may spend years rebuilding trust—or may never fully recover what was destroyed.
A forgiven criminal may still stand before an earthly judge and accept lawful punishment.
A forgiven addict may still face severe physical, emotional, or mental consequences while learning to walk in obedience to Christ.
Repentance often requires confession, restitution where possible, accepting responsibility, seeking treatment or counseling, protecting those who were harmed, and accepting the lawful consequences of our actions.
The Gospel is not an escape from justice.
It is God’s provision of mercy in the midst of justice.
Some earthly payments may be terrible.
They may include prison, destroyed relationships, chronic illness, disabling injuries, unbearable memories, or consequences that last for the remainder of this earthly life.
But God is above every prison wall, every diagnosis, every memory, and every consequence.
None of those things place you beyond the reach of His grace.
God is not surprised by your past.
He knew every sin you would ever commit before you committed it.
He is not shocked when you finally confess the truth.
He is not disgusted by the sinner who comes before Him in honest submission, with a broken and repentant heart.
Jesus Christ is never unwilling to receive the person who truly comes to Him in repentance and faith.
Jesus said:
“The one who comes to Me I will by no means cast out.”
John 6:37, NKJV
That promise still stands.
You do not have to clean yourself up before coming to Christ.
You come because you cannot clean yourself up.
You come because you need a Savior.
True repentance is more than feeling guilty. It is agreeing with God about your sin, turning away from it, and placing your complete trust in Jesus Christ—His death on the cross, His burial, and His bodily resurrection—as your only hope of forgiveness and eternal life.
You may carry memories that haunt you.
You may still have terrible consequences to face.
You may need to confess, apologize, make restitution, seek help, surrender destructive habits, protect others from further harm, or accept lawful punishment.
But none of those things prevent God from doing what only He can do.
He can forgive.
He can cleanse.
He can adopt you as His child.
He can give you a new heart and a new life through Jesus Christ.
The greatness of your sin is never greater than the greatness of the Savior who died and rose again.
If your heart is being stirred today, do not walk away.
Come honestly.
Come humbly.
Come without excuses.
Come to Jesus Christ.
There is still time.
Ask Solomon 2.0, “How can I be saved?”
Suffering is easier to discuss from a distance.
It is different when the hospital room is yours, the grave belongs to someone you love, the betrayal has your name attached to it, or the prayer you have repeated for months still seems unanswered.
At that point, “Why does God allow suffering?” is no longer merely a philosophical question. It becomes personal.
Why did God allow this?
Does He see me?
Does He care?
Can I still trust Him?
The Bible does not dismiss those questions. It does not command hurting people to pretend that pain is painless. It speaks honestly about grief, disease, injustice, death, fear, and loss. It also tells us truths about God that remain true even when life becomes difficult to understand.
Nothing takes God by surprise.
He never learns bad news. He is never caught unprepared. No disaster forces Him to abandon His purposes or invent a new plan.
“I form the light and create darkness,
Isaiah 45:7, NKJV
I make peace and create calamity;
I, the Lord, do all these things.”
This verse does not teach that God commits moral evil. Scripture is clear that God is holy, righteous, and good. It teaches that He remains sovereign over nations, judgment, peace, prosperity, and calamity. Nothing exists outside His authority.
That truth may raise another difficult question: If God is sovereign, why does He permit suffering at all?
The Bible does not give us a complete explanation for every individual tragedy. It does tell us that suffering does not mean God has lost control.
We may be confused. God is not.
We may be frightened. God is not.
We may not see what comes next. God already does.
“For My thoughts are not your thoughts,
Isaiah 55:8–9, NKJV
Nor are your ways My ways,” says the Lord.
“For as the heavens are higher than the earth,
So are My ways higher than your ways,
And My thoughts than your thoughts.”
Human understanding is limited. We see one moment, one life, and one small portion of history. God sees the whole.
That does not mean we should use these verses to silence someone who is grieving. “God’s ways are higher” should never become a cold answer thrown at a broken heart.
It should produce humility.
Faith does not require us to claim that we understand what God has not explained. Sometimes the honest answer is:
I do not know why God allowed this particular suffering.
The book of Job teaches this powerfully. Job lost his children, wealth, health, and position. His friends confidently insisted that his suffering must have been caused by some hidden personal sin. They were wrong.
Job never received a detailed explanation for everything that had happened to him. Instead, he encountered the greatness, wisdom, and authority of God.
There are times when God reveals His purposes. There are also times when He asks us to trust His character while the reason remains hidden.
The Bible begins with a world that God called “very good” (Genesis 1:31).
Human beings were created to know God, love Him, obey Him, and live under His good authority. But humanity rebelled. Sin entered the world, and with sin came death, separation, corruption, and disorder.
“Therefore, just as through one man sin entered the world, and death through sin, and thus death spread to all men, because all sinned.”
Romans 5:12, NKJV
The effects of the Fall reach beyond individual bad choices. Human bodies age and become ill. Relationships fracture. Nations wage war. People exploit one another. Creation itself is marked by decay and suffering.
“For we know that the whole creation groans and labors with birth pangs together until now.”
Romans 8:22, NKJV
This means suffering is not always a direct punishment aimed at one particular person.
Jesus made that clear.
When His disciples met a man who had been blind from birth, they asked whether the man or his parents had sinned and caused his condition. Jesus rejected both proposed explanations and said that the works of God would be revealed in him (John 9:1–3).
When people told Jesus about the Galileans whom Pilate had killed, He rejected the idea that they were worse sinners than other Galileans. Jesus then pointed to a separate tragedy—the eighteen people killed when the tower of Siloam fell—and said they were not worse offenders than the other people living in Jerusalem. In both cases, He warned His hearers of their own need to repent (Luke 13:1–5).
We should therefore never look at someone’s cancer, disability, poverty, bereavement, accident, or tragedy and pretend that we know what private sin caused it.
Sometimes people suffer because of their own choices.
Sometimes they suffer because of another person’s cruelty, negligence, violence, or betrayal.
Sometimes they suffer through disease, aging, accidents, or natural disasters.
Sometimes they suffer for doing what is right.
Sometimes the immediate reason remains unknown.
But all suffering occurs within a world that is no longer as God originally made it.
Much of the world’s suffering comes directly from human rebellion against God.
War, murder, abuse, exploitation, abandonment, corruption, oppression, adultery, hatred, and greed are not abstract ideas. They leave real victims behind.
God has given human beings genuine moral responsibility. Love, loyalty, courage, obedience, generosity, and sacrifice have meaning because our choices are real. But real choices can also be used for terrible evil.
God’s temporary permission of human evil is not His approval of it.
He condemns injustice. He commands people to protect the vulnerable. He establishes moral accountability. He warns that every person will answer to Him.
“For God will bring every work into judgment,
Ecclesiastes 12:14, NKJV
Including every secret thing,
Whether good or evil.”
No hidden cruelty will remain hidden forever.
No unpunished crime has escaped God’s notice.
No victim has been forgotten.
Earthly justice may fail. God’s final justice will not.
Suffering reveals the brokenness of the world, but it does not mean God’s mercy has disappeared.
Jeremiah wrote during a period of terrible national destruction:
“Through the Lord’s mercies we are not consumed,
Lamentations 3:22–23, NKJV
Because His compassions fail not.
They are new every morning;
Great is Your faithfulness.”
These words were not written by someone whose life was easy. They came from a man who had witnessed devastation and grief.
Even in a fallen world, God continues to show mercy.
Every breath is mercy.
Every act of genuine love reflects His goodness.
Every meal, sunrise, friendship, answered prayer, moment of comfort, and opportunity to repent is undeserved kindness.
This does not make suffering unimportant. It reminds us that suffering is not the only reality present in the world. God has not withdrawn all goodness from His creation.
More importantly, He has not withheld the greatest expression of His mercy: His Son.
Suffering often destroys the illusion that we are self-sufficient.
When health fails, plans collapse, or death comes near, we are reminded that we are not in control. We are mortal. We need help beyond ourselves.
“In my distress I cried to the Lord, And He heard me.”
Psalm 120:1, NKJV
God can use suffering to turn a person’s attention back toward Him.
It may expose sin we have ignored.
It may reveal relationships that need repair.
It may break pride.
It may deepen compassion.
It may teach perseverance.
It may awaken someone who has lived for years as though God did not exist.
But we must be careful here. We should not presume to know that every tragedy was sent to teach a particular person a particular lesson. Nor should we tell a suffering person that their pain exists only because they failed to listen to God.
Scripture allows us to say that God can use suffering.
It does not give us permission to pretend that we understand His exact purpose in every case.
“And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.”
Romans 8:28, NKJV
The verse does not say that everything that happens is good.
Cancer is not good.
Abuse is not good.
Murder is not good.
Betrayal is not good.
Death is an enemy.
But God is so wise and powerful that evil cannot prevent Him from accomplishing His purposes.
Joseph was betrayed by his brothers, sold into slavery, falsely accused, and imprisoned. Years later, he told them:
“But as for you, you meant evil against me; but God meant it for good.”
Genesis 50:20, NKJV
Joseph did not call their evil good. He said God overruled their evil intentions and used the outcome to preserve many lives.
God can bring courage from hardship, compassion from grief, ministry from wounds, repentance from failure, and faith from desperation.
Still, not every painful event will make complete sense in this lifetime. Some wounds remain wounds. Some questions remain unanswered.
The Christian hope is not that every tragedy will eventually feel acceptable.
It is that evil will not have the final word.
Biblical faith is not emotional denial.
Job grieved.
Jeremiah wept.
David cried out in anguish.
Habakkuk asked why God seemed silent.
Jesus wept at the grave of Lazarus.
“How long, O Lord? Will You forget me forever?”
Psalm 13:1, NKJV
These are not the words of unbelief pretending to be faith. They are the words of faith speaking honestly to God.
You may grieve before Him.
You may tell Him that you are angry, confused, frightened, or exhausted.
You do not need to hide your pain behind religious language.
God already knows what is in your heart.
Honest grief is not the opposite of faith. Sometimes it is faith crying out to the only One who can truly hear.
Christianity’s deepest answer to suffering is not merely an explanation.
It is Jesus Christ.
God the Son entered the world He had made. He took on human flesh. He experienced hunger, exhaustion, grief, rejection, betrayal, injustice, humiliation, physical agony, and death.
“A Man of sorrows and acquainted with grief.”
Isaiah 53:3, NKJV
Jesus wept with grieving people.
He touched the diseased.
He welcomed the rejected.
He defended the vulnerable.
He showed compassion to the guilty.
And at the cross, He willingly bore the judgment that sinners deserve.
“But He was wounded for our transgressions,
Isaiah 53:5, NKJV
He was bruised for our iniquities;
The chastisement for our peace was upon Him,
And by His stripes we are healed.”
At the cross, God did not explain suffering from a safe distance.
He entered it.
Jesus was not helplessly trapped. He gave Himself willingly.
He suffered for our sins so that those who trust Him could be forgiven, reconciled to God, and given eternal life.
The cross shows us that God does not take evil lightly. Sin is so serious that the Son of God bore its judgment.
The cross also shows us that God’s love is not theoretical. Jesus suffered to rescue people who had rebelled against Him.
Jesus truly died.
But death did not defeat Him.
On the third day, He rose bodily from the grave. His resurrection is God’s declaration that sin, death, and evil will not prevail.
“I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in Me, though he may die, he shall live.”
John 11:25, NKJV
Christianity does not promise that believers will escape all suffering in this life.
Jesus told His followers that they would face trouble.
But He also promised that suffering is temporary and His victory is eternal.
“For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.”
Romans 8:18, NKJV
For those who belong to Christ, this world is not the final home.
There is a day coming when God will judge evil, raise the dead, restore creation, and dwell with His people.
“And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain.”
Revelation 21:4, NKJV
This is not wishful thinking. It is the promised future secured by the resurrection of Jesus Christ.
You may not know why God allowed the pain you are carrying.
You may never receive a full explanation in this life.
But you can know what God has revealed about Himself.
He is sovereign.
He is holy.
He is just.
He is merciful.
He sees the brokenhearted.
He judges evil.
He entered human suffering in Jesus Christ.
He died for sinners.
He rose from the dead.
He promises to make all things right.
Your pain does not prove that God has abandoned you.
Your questions do not frighten Him.
Your grief does not place you beyond His compassion.
“The Lord is near to those who have a broken heart,
Psalm 34:18, NKJV
And saves such as have a contrite spirit.”
You may need help from people as well. Seeking medical treatment, counseling, pastoral care, legal protection, or emergency assistance is not a failure of faith. Forgiveness does not require you to remain in danger or permit continuing abuse. God often provides help through other people.
Do not carry suffering alone.
The greatest need of every human being is reconciliation with God.
Our suffering is real, but so is our sin. We have all broken God’s commands, rejected His authority, and fallen short of His glory.
We cannot save ourselves through good deeds, religion, or sincerity.
But Jesus has done what we could never do.
He lived without sin.
He died in the place of sinners.
He rose from the dead.
He now offers forgiveness and eternal life to everyone who turns from sin and trusts Him.
“Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.”
Matthew 11:28, NKJV
He does not promise that every earthly burden will disappear immediately.
He promises something greater: His presence, forgiveness, peace with God, strength to endure, and eternal life.
You are free to reject Him.
You are also free to come.
He will not force your trust. Love does not compel a false response. But He genuinely invites you.
You may come honestly, even if your faith feels small.
You may say:
“Lord Jesus, I do not understand everything I have suffered. I confess that I am a sinner and cannot save myself. I believe You died for my sins and rose from the dead. Please forgive me, receive me, and teach me to trust You. I place my life in Your hands. Amen.”
The prayer itself does not save you. Jesus saves. The prayer is simply one way of expressing sincere repentance and faith in Him.
We may not know why God permitted every sorrow.
But we know that He is not indifferent.
He sees.
He cares.
He judges rightly.
He draws near to the brokenhearted.
And in Jesus Christ, He has opened the way from suffering and death into forgiveness, resurrection, and everlasting life.
The wounds of this world are real.
But they are not eternal.
Jesus Christ is.
If you are ready to turn to Jesus Christ, ask Solomon 2.0, “How can I be saved?”
The Bible makes enormous claims.
It tells us who God is, why humanity is broken, what sin has done, what happens after death, and how sinners can be reconciled to their Creator through Jesus Christ.
Those claims deserve an honest question:
Can the Bible be trusted?
The answer is yes.
The Bible is not a damaged religious relic, a collection of legends, or a message lost through centuries of copying. It is the Word of God, given through human authors, preserved through history, and faithfully delivered to us as God intended.
The Bible was written through real people, in real places, during real periods of history. Its writers had different backgrounds, personalities, experiences, and styles.
Yet behind them stood one ultimate Author.
“All Scripture is given by inspiration of God.”
2 Timothy 3:16, NKJV
The word “inspiration” does not mean that the biblical writers merely felt religious or creative. Scripture came from God.
“Holy men of God spoke as they were moved by the Holy Spirit.”
2 Peter 1:21, NKJV
The Holy Spirit did not erase the personalities of the writers. He worked through them so that what they wrote was truly their writing and, at the same time, truly the Word of God.
Ultimately, the Holy Spirit gets all authority for the Bible we have today.
He inspired it.
He preserved it.
He guided its recognition among God’s people.
The Bible is as God intended, period.
The Scriptures were copied and carried across centuries, languages, nations, persecution, war, and cultural change.
Yet their message has not been lost.
God did not inspire His Word and then abandon it to destruction or confusion.
“Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will by no means pass away.”
Matthew 24:35, NKJV
“The grass withers, the flower fades,
Isaiah 40:8, NKJV
But the word of our God stands forever.”
The Bible available to us today faithfully communicates what God gave.
There are differences in wording among trustworthy translations because languages do not always match one another word for word. Translators must make careful decisions about grammar, sentence structure, emphasis, and how best to express the original meaning clearly.
Those differences do not mean we have different Bibles.
They mean faithful translators are working to communicate the same God-given message accurately and understandably.
Mainstream translations such as the NKJV, ESV, NRSV, and others reliably give readers the Word of God.
The Bible is truthful because God is truthful.
“God is not a man, that He should lie.”
Numbers 23:19, NKJV
“Your word is truth.”
John 17:17, NKJV
Some passages require careful reading. Some accounts emphasize different details. Some statements must be understood according to their historical setting, literary form, language, and immediate context.
But difficulty is not the same as error.
Different perspectives are not contradictions.
The Bible does not affirm and deny the same truth in the same sense.
It speaks truthfully in everything it teaches.
The Bible does not begin with “once upon a time.”
It speaks of real nations, rulers, cities, families, wars, journeys, customs, and places.
Its message unfolds within history.
Abraham traveled.
Israel became a nation.
David ruled.
Jerusalem stood.
Babylon conquered.
Jesus was born under Roman rule.
He taught publicly, was crucified under Pontius Pilate, died, was buried, and rose from the dead.
Christian faith is not built merely on private feelings or spiritual ideas. It rests on what God has done in the real world.
Luke explained that he had carefully investigated the events he recorded so that his reader could know their certainty (Luke 1:1–4).
“For we did not follow cunningly devised fables.”
2 Peter 1:16, NKJV
The Bible invites examination because its claims are tied to history.
The Bible contains many books, yet together they tell one great story.
God created the world good.
Humanity rebelled.
Sin brought guilt, separation, suffering, and death.
God promised redemption.
He formed a covenant people.
He revealed His law, holiness, justice, and mercy.
He promised a Savior.
Jesus Christ came.
He died for sinners.
He rose from the grave.
He will return, judge evil, and restore all things.
The Bible’s central message is not scattered or confused.
It leads to Jesus Christ.
“And beginning at Moses and all the Prophets, He expounded to them in all the Scriptures the things concerning Himself.”
Luke 24:27, NKJV
The Bible is not merely a collection of religious advice.
It is the unfolding account of God’s work to redeem sinners through His Son.
The Bible does not flatter us.
It does not pretend that people are basically righteous and merely need better information.
“All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.”
Romans 3:23, NKJV
It exposes pride, greed, lust, hatred, hypocrisy, violence, self-deception, and rebellion.
It also tells the truth about its own human figures.
Noah failed.
Abraham feared.
Jacob deceived.
Moses disobeyed.
David sinned terribly.
Peter denied Jesus.
The disciples argued, doubted, and fled.
A book invented merely to honor its heroes would likely hide their failures.
The Bible does not.
It presents human beings honestly because its purpose is not to glorify people. Its purpose is to reveal God.
Jesus treated Scripture as the authoritative Word of God.
He quoted it when tempted.
He used it when teaching.
He appealed to it in disputes.
“The Scripture cannot be broken.”
John 10:35, NKJV
“It is written.”
Matthew 4:4, NKJV
Jesus did not treat Scripture as a mixture of truth and error.
He trusted it, obeyed it, fulfilled it, and taught others to receive it as God’s Word.
The most important question, then, is not merely whether we approve of the Bible.
It is whether we trust Jesus Christ.
If Jesus is who He claimed to be, His view of Scripture carries absolute authority.
The power of the Bible does not come merely from beautiful sentences or ancient wisdom.
God uses His Word to expose sin, awaken faith, correct error, comfort the grieving, strengthen the weak, and lead people to salvation.
“For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword.”
Hebrews 4:12, NKJV
“Faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.”
Romans 10:17, NKJV
People do not merely read the Bible.
Through it, they encounter the truth of God.
Its message has endured because God continues to use it.
The Bible tells us that God is holy and that we are sinners.
Our sin separates us from Him.
Good deeds cannot erase guilt.
Religion cannot make us righteous.
We cannot save ourselves.
But God did not leave us without hope.
Jesus Christ, the Son of God, came into the world. He lived without sin. He died on the cross in the place of sinners. He bore the judgment our sin deserves. On the third day, He rose from the dead.
“Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, and that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day according to the Scriptures.”
1 Corinthians 15:3–4, NKJV
The Bible was not given merely to make us informed.
It was given to make us wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus (2 Timothy 3:15).
You may still have questions.
You may need time to read, study, and examine the evidence.
That is not wrong.
But the Bible does more than ask for intellectual respect. It brings you face to face with God’s truth.
It says that you were created by Him.
It says that you have sinned against Him.
It says that judgment is real.
It says that Jesus Christ died and rose again.
It says that forgiveness and eternal life are offered to everyone who repents and trusts Him.
“He who hears My word and believes in Him who sent Me has everlasting life, and shall not come into judgment, but has passed from death into life.”
John 5:24, NKJV
The Bible is trustworthy because the God who gave it is trustworthy.
Its message has not been lost.
Its truth has not expired.
Its authority has not weakened.
The Bible is as God intended.
And its central invitation remains open:
Turn from sin.
Come to Jesus Christ.
Trust Him.
Receive forgiveness.
Receive eternal life.
The question is no longer only, “Can I trust the Bible?”
The deeper question is:
Will I trust the Savior revealed in its pages?
If you are ready to trust Jesus Christ, ask Solomon 2.0, “How can I be saved?”
