Chapter 13: He Changed My Life

Colossians 4:5-6“Be wise in the way you act toward outsiders; make the most of every opportunity. Let your conversation be always full of grace, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how to answer everyone.”

"As believers, we are to make the most of every opportunity we get with people outside the faith and graciously know how to answer their worldview." (Manning 2019)

1) What distinguishes Christianity from all world religions?

2) Are there any questions or doubts you have had about the deity of Christ, the resurrection, or the Bible that have been clarified for you in this book?

3) Why do you think it is so difficult for people to receive or accept help from others? Do you find this principle true in your own life?

4) In Revelation 3:20 Jesus says, “Behold (look) I stand at the door and knock if anyone hears my voice and opens the door I will come in...” Even though Josh knew intellectually that Christianity was true, what kept him from inviting (accepting) Christ into His life? Can you relate to this?

5) Once Josh accepted Christ, what were some of the changes Christ made in his life?

6) Josh came to the realization that Christianity was not a myth, a fantasy, or a hoax played on the simple-minded, but rock solid truth. What is your thought process at this point concerning Christ? If you have accepted Him, how has this study affected your faith? If you have not accepted Christ, what is keeping you from doing so?
