Q. I’M A GOOD PERSON AND ATTEND CHURCH. ISN’T THAT ENOUGH?
A. NO. “By grace are you saved, not by works, lest any man boast.” Eph. 2:8
Q. AREN’T ALL RELIGIONS BASICALLY THE SAME?
A. No. World religions are based on obeying rules. Christianity is based on a relationship with Jesus.

No man comes to the Father, but by Me.” Jn. 14:6
Q. WHY WOULD A LOVING GOD SEND PEOPLE TO HELL?
