Who is God?
|
This is one of the questions that everyone ultimately asks him or herself.
The first question we often ask is, does God exist? And then we wonder which
God is real and who is this God and can you know him (or her or it?). We here
at FaithStart believe in the God of the Bible and believe that the central message
of the Bible is that God loves us so much that he sent his son to die on the
cross for our sins (see John 3:16).
| "This is what the Lord says-- Israel's King and Redeemer,
the Lord Almighty: I am the first and I am the last; apart from me there is no God. Isaiah 44:6 |

Why believe in God?
|
This is an excellent question -- why should anyone believe in God? And what
is belief anyway? Belief is essentially faith. Having faith in God. But it is
more than believing God exists or that he is powerful; it is believing in the
Bible and what he said. Please take a look at the following to see what believing
in God is all about:
| Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life, but whoever rejects the Son will not see life, for God's wrath remains on him." John 3:36 |

Need Prayer?
|
Prayer is talking with God. It is sharing your heart with Him. Prayer can be
asking God for things, or praising God for who he is or just sharing your feelings
with God. God listens and also wants to speak to us too...it's not a one-way
conversation! If you do have a prayer need, we offer several ways to post them
on the Internet. There are many prayer warriors which will pray for your specific
need.
| Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. Philippians 4:6 |
