THE 3 Questions

The 3 questions, Philip Yancey's book, "Disappointment With God" addresses are ones that occupy all of us at one time or another, no matter how strong or fresh or pure our faith is or has become:

1. “Is God unfair? – how can we reconcile personal miseries with the biblical promises of rewards and happiness?


2. “Is God silent? – I was told God loves me and has a wonderful plan for my life. Fine. So why doesn’t He tell me what that plan is?


3. “Is God hidden? – How can I have a relationship with a Person I’m not even sure exists?” * Sometimes it seems He deliberately hides from me!

“’For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish, but have eternal life.’” John 3:16

“For while we were still helpless at the right time Christ died for the ungodly. For one will hardly die for a righteous man; though perhaps for the good man someone would dare even to die. But God demonstrates His own love toward us in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.” Romans 5:6-8

“In this is love; not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins.” I John 4:10
