Questions that believer should ask?
It is easy to ask.
If I follow God, will I be blessed?
If I believe Jesus, will I be healed?
If I believe Jesus, will my problems go away?
These are questions before becoming a believer.
But once you become a believer, you are Child of God. and the questions that comes out of your mouth should reveal who you are.
1) Exodus 32: 9- 12: Gods Honor. Question of Gods Honor.
Question: Why Should Gods Name be dishonored?
Exodus 4:
V 1: What if they do not believe me or listen to me and say, ‘The Lord did not appear to you?
In our past life, we might have asked questions about me, myself, my attitudes, my abilities, my talents, my fame.
But in the new covenant life, the question is is God honored in my life?
Do we say any statement in the public that will dishonor our parents, or our children. We always behave in such a way that our parents will not be dishonored.
World always watches Christians, and will say oh they are Christians,
"Teach me your ways, O LORD, that I may live according to your truth! Grant me purity of heart, that I may honor you." Psalms 86:11
God honors those who honor Him.
1 Samuel 2: 30
30 Therefore the Lord God of Israel says: ‘I said indeed that your house and the house of your father would walk before Me forever.’ But now theLord says: ‘Far be it from Me; for those who honor Me I will honor, and those who despise Me shall be lightly esteemed.
Do you want your famaily, generation to have good life. The important thing is honor God.
Also like Moses, when we think of Gods Name being honored we will pray for the people and nation.
4) Seperation: 2 Corinthians 6:14 - question of consecration.
Question: what fellowship can light have with darkness?
Genesis 39:9 How then could I do such a wicked thing and sin against God?
Prodigal son says I have sinned against God. before converting.
but Joseph say after conversion - How Can I sin?
Paul says
1 Corinthians 6:15
Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ himself? Shall I then take the members of Christ and unite them with a prostitute? Never! 16 Do you not know that he who unites himself with a prostitute is one with her in body? For it is said, “The two will become one flesh.”[b] 17 But whoever is united with the Lord is one with him in spirit.
2 Corinthians 6:14
what fellowship can light have with darkness?
14 Do not be yoked together with unbelievers. For what do righteousness and wickedness have in common? Or what fellowship can light have with darkness?15 What harmony is there between Christ and Belial[b]? Or what does a believer have in common with an unbeliever? 16 What agreement is there between the temple of God and idols?
My cousin started a business with unbeliever. but that guy started keeping idols and he could not object.
My own testimony of business.
5) Romans 10:14 -15 - Mission question.
How Can they call on Him in whom they have not believed.
14 How then shall they call on Him in whom they have not believed? And how shall they believe in Him of whom they have not heard? And how shall they hear without a preacher? 15 And how shall they preach unless they are sent?
Do we have burden for people to be saved.
Paul had great burden for Jews - Romans 9: 1,2.
I tell the truth in Christ, I am not lying, my conscience also bearing me witness in the Holy Spirit, 2 that I have great sorrow and continual grief in my heart. 3 For I could wish that I myself were accursed from Christ for my brethren, my countrymen[a] according to the flesh, 4 who are Israelites, to whom pertain the adoption, the glory, the covenants, the giving of the law, the service of God, and the promises; 5 of whom are the fathers and from whom, according to the flesh, Christ came, who is over all, the eternally blessed God. Amen.

2) Romans 8:31 - Faith in God. Question of Faith.
Question: If God is for us, who can be against us?
When we get into situations or problems, Who will come to our min first.
for example, you need urgently some 1000 dollars. First thing that comes to your mind is friends or relatives.
Any trouble - most of the time, first thought is if my friend helps me, this problem will go away.
but see Paul, If God is for us, who can be against us.
1 Samuel 17:26 - Faith in God.
Who is this uncircumcised Philistine that he should defy the armies of the living God?

3) Romans 4: v3 - Rooted in Word Question about the Word.
Who if we ask christians, what does CNN say, hundreds will come and say all the details. but what does the Scripture say today, very few can tell.
Question: What does the Scripture say?
1 Kings 22:7 But Jehoshaphat asked, “Is there no longer a prophet of the Lord here whom we can inquire of?”
Isaiah 30:3 - Egypt consultation.
Romans 10: v8
8 But what does it say? “The word is near you; it is in your mouth and in your heart,”[d] that is, the message concerning faith that we proclaim:
