Note from Gwen: October 2023
Happy October all! This is an exciting month for
the Got Questions Ministries staff as most of us will be spending the first
part of October on a tour of Israel. We look forward to what God has in store.
We trust He will renew our love for Him and His Word, provide perspective and
practical insights about the Bible, and replenish our passion for helping
others know Him and love Him. This will also be a wonderful opportunity for
deepening team relationships. We so appreciate your prayers for the trip and
for the staff who will be staying behind. . . .

Question: If Abraham was justified by
faith before the belief in Jesus, why did Jesus have to come down and die for
sins? How come people in the old testament couldn't just do the same like
Abraham to be justified. Why did Jesus have to die if there was already a way
to be saved like how Abraham was saved?

From a questioner: Dear [Volunteer], Thank you so much for
your reply! Thank you for your explanation. Yes, it makes sense and I am
encouraged by your words. They are kind and helpful for me. I am sorry that I
misunderstood it before. Praise the Lord. May God bless you. Thank you again!
From a questioner: Thank you so much for your prompt reply to my
question. It is helpful to know all food is clean but we need to be careful not
to cause anyone to stumble or to eat in such a way that we show we do not have
self-control. Thank you again. 
Thank you for praying! Here are some specific
requests for this month:
1. As mentioned above, most of the staff will be in
Israel October 7th through 18th. Please pray for our eyes
to be opened to what God has for us to see, our ears to be tuned to His Spirit,
and our hearts to be prepared to respond. Please pray for the entire traveling
group to relate well to one another, form bonds, and enjoy sharing lasting
memories. Please, of course, also pray for travel safety and good health.
Please pray for those who will not be going to Israel, particularly 
"Listen to me, O house of Jacob,
all the remnant of the house of Israel,
who have been borne by me from before your birth,
carried from the womb;
even to your old age I am he,
and to gray hairs I will carry you.
I have made, and I will bear;
I will carry and will save. …
Remember this and stand firm,
recall it to mind, you transgressors,
remember the former things of old;
for I am God, and there
