INTRODUCTION

(that means please start here...)

THE "ABC's" are the basics of language. Faith must also have its basic elements, and those fundamental truths are found in the pages that follow. These are made for uplifting reading, and are as easy as "A...B...C!"

Faith in things that are false has risks. BUT FAITH IN THINGS THAT ARE TRUE IS USEFUL. True faith is PRACTICAL in this life, and offers a huge reward in the next! Politicians, entertainers and experts; have they brought lasting peace or joy to you or our world? Well, God can! Find out how! Learn His Plan and your part in His Plan. You'll treasure an easier way to study and understand His Word so you can claim His promises!

Discover a 'way' to KNOW God's Truth with certainty, not someone's opinion.

Though large portions of the sections that follow are based on the Bible, "The ABC's of Faith" begins with common sense and objective reasoning. For those who don't accept there is a God, it does no good to quote Scripture to them. Just think, if someone doesn't believe in a Creator, why should they accept a book from God, whom they claim doesn't exist?

So the first sections,"Does God Exist?", responds to that challenge, examining arguments and questions used for and against the existence of God. When you think about it, this is quite important, since God either exists, or He doesn't. There is no need to be in the dark on this issue, and we'll find compelling reasons to believe that God LIVES. Believers should read these too, as they provide wisdom useful in times of doubt and tribulation, and will give readers easy answers and examples useful in talks with atheists, doubters or others.

The "Does God Exist" pages also provide answers to questions many believers wonder about: such as the problem of evil in the world, unanswered prayers and other topics of popular interest. You'll get edifying and eye-opening insights into these and other issues, so enjoy!

Once we prove that God exists, we'll discover together solid evidence for the inspiration of the Bible. Then we'll learn many 'open secrets' found in the Word of God for mankind. Be prepared for surprises!

Keep in mind as you read that we aren't trying to judge anyone or step on toes; rather we are seeking to: "speak the truth in love."
(Eph. 4:15) as we "try to learn what is pleasing to the Lord." (Eph. 5:10).

If you run into a section that challenges you or runs counter to a previously held idea, recall that the Bible promises us, "...the Spirit of truth will guide you into all truth." (Jn. 16:13).

We should keep in mind that "...the truth will set you free." (Jn. 8:32); we aren't freed by holding on to false notions or opinions! All too often, we get in a comfort zone in our thinking. It can be amazing what can happen if you are open to new insights!

So keep reading, and "Be Open!" (Mk 7:34) to the truths in God's Saving Word!

The reader will gain the most benefit by reading each page in the "Contents" in sequence. Some readers find it useful to read one page (topical article) a day, and ponder new ideas, before starting the next one. Others rapidly read through the Contents all at once once, and then go back and study the references and really absorb the insightful and inspiring ways of God. You'll find sections you may want to refer to from time-to-time; so dig in!

By reading with a Bible handy, as references are made, you can see for yourself the truths revealed! Once you've absorbed the material, share the 'Good News' with others. We should know and worship our Savior and Creator in 'Spirit and in Truth,' in the manner most pleasing to Him, in the ways He taught His disciples. Are you ready? Great!

Let's start by discovering ways we can KNOW that God exists!
