A long time ago, a friend of mine wrote a powerful message on a whiteboard in a mechanic's shop:
"God is the answer. What was the question?"
The person who wrote the note still struggles with immense challenges, not yielding his life to God.
The mechanic still struggles with condemnation.
The message is at fault, not for its distortion of the truth, but rather its limitation:
"Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me." (John 14: 6)
Everyone believes in God. Even atheists have a witness within themselves that there is a God, no matter how much they may protest (Romans 1: 19-21)
Even the demons believe in one God, but they tremble rather than rejoice. It is not the name of God that saves, but the name of Jesus:
"Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved." (Acts 4: 12)
This name-- Jesus -- translates us from death to life (1 John 3: 14) and makes us sons of the living God ( John 1:12; 1 John 4: 17)
It is believing on Him whom God has sent -- Jesus -- that is the one work we are called to do (John 6: 29).
In Christ, there is no condemnation (Romans 8: 1)
In Christ, there is no confusion (1 Corinthians 1: 30)
In Christ, we have life and that more abundantly (John 10: 10)
When we believe that "Christ is the answer", we will see all questions and doubts vanish!
