When I was a teenager, we used to play What If…? Two little words with around-the-world and all-time implications! What if…from fear to faith! Answer each question honestly that you may have, at one time or another, asked yourself. By the way, I have been asked these ‘What if’ questions by people along the path of my Christian journey. I was going to give their answers, but I thought it would better if you answered them on your own. It’s a good measuring tool to see where you’ve come from to where you are today, and where you want to be tomorrow in your walk of faith.
What if I didn’t do enough good works to get into heaven?
What if I am defeated by sin and discouraged by the world?
What if I was asked to share my life story – in its entirety?
What if my sin is too great to be forgiven?
What if the stranglehold of my sin and death is broken?
What If God extended His grace and mercy to me?
What if I could push the rewind button or a pause button on my life; what would I gain?
What if I could slay my giant like David defeated Goliath?
What if had to choose between following Jesus or marrying an unbeliever?
What if I am really not a believer?
What if I listen more intently to my friend talk about Jesus?
What If God sent His Son for me?
What if I lived as though Jesus’ resurrection demonstrates power in a way that surpasses my wildest dreams?
What if I actually become a believer?
What if she’s just making this stuff up about Jesus and eternal life?
What if I had the chance to go into the past to meet my ancestors or go into the future to meet my great-great-grandchildren, who would I say I am?
What if I believed the best news I ever heard?
What If Jesus died for my sins and I am forgiven?
What if I am constantly reminded that Jesus is “with me always to the end of the age?”
What if I believed I could have a most wonderful future; what would it look like?
What if I were called and loved by Jesus?
What if I experience far less than God intends for me?
What if I settle for a tame Christianity that fails to”go” where God sends me?
What If Jesus died for the sins of the world?
What if I give to Jesus all I am and all I have; How would that change things?
What if God awakens a desire in me to please Him?
What if the One who died for me would love to talk with me daily about big things and everyday things?
What if I unequivocally believed that if I called on God, He would actually answer me?
What if I were not prepared to share the gospel with someone who was dying and asked me how to get to heaven?
What If Jesus died and was buried in the tomb to fulfill the Father’s plan of my redemption?
What if I had to choose between death and my faith; would I make the right choice?
What if if someone criticized me for my faith; would I stand firm in my beliefs?
What if I am challenged to prove God’s existence scientifically; would I know how to do that?
What if I had to convince someone of Jesus’ resurrection, and how am I equipped to do so?
What if I lived as though Jesus’ resurrection demonstrates power in a way that surpasses my wildest dreams?
What if Jesus rose from the dead as He said He would and promises eternal life to me and all who believe in Him?
What if I have a weak grip on what Jesus’ resurrection means for me as His child; what kind of witness does that make me?
What if I never repented of my sins, would I still be a Christian?
What if I told you whom I have believed through the power of the Holy Spirit? What if I told you I have repented of my sins because I know my Redeemer lives! Jesus Christ ~ Son of God and Son of Man reigns in my heart!
May you be blessed as you seek to draw closer to Jesus!
