We were so touched by your prayers and care as the team was in Jordan in early October. And we are so touched by your faithfulness in service and your eagerness to help questioners. You demonstrate the love and truth of God in incredible . . .

Staff Jordan Trip Recap

November 1st, 2023
On October 7th, knowing of the attacks on Israel, we decided to press ahead and fly out to Jordan, as scheduled, for a ten-day Jordan/Israel tour. We did not know what God had in store for our time.

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. . . .

It answers the question directly, has logical flow, and explains foundational issues clearly. ** 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?
