I have had many questions throughout my life about God and Christianity. As a child and teenager, I was afraid to ask them. As an adult, I saw it prudent not to ask as I wasn't sure of the responses, and Christians can be quite harsh.
The general response to those whom I took the risk in asking, was one of "you should just accept it". Not that I didn't want to accept God's word, but I just had questions. I realized recently, as I have been wrestling to understand and apply God's truth, that I wanted to fully understand so that I had no questions to the back of my head when telling someone else, or when telling my own self. Lol.
I also began to see the importance of asking the questions and seeking to fully understand. When I understand completely, I am more confident in my walk with God. I am more at peace living His truths and living His truths becomes embedded in my soul and affects every area of my life.
I also see that His truths become real in its entirety. Not partially, or to a point, or with buts, but completely. I then experience all of what He promised- peace, rest, joy... I experience His love more deeply and fully.
I am glad I now feel free to ask my questions. I now tell my children and others, "ask your questions". God will not strike you down.
He was faithful in answering the disciples questions, and Moses and Abraham and He knows our hearts and is faithful to us too.
Come and learn His truths. Learn to live each one. Ask your questions, make sure you understand. Experience His abundant life completely.
