The Bible speaks of the ‘deep things’ of God and Satan. What does that mean?

In the last part of our series, we began looking at the private sayings of Jesus to His disciples as He sent them out with His power to preach the Kingdom of Heaven. We move now to another of the private meetings Jesus had with the Twelve.

Today is Christmas Day. Who or what are you worshipping today? How about people in your community? Gifts? Family? Food? A ‘baby?’ Even if we understand that Christmas is about the birth of Jesus of Nazareth two thousand years ago, do we fully understand the depth of why we worship and celebrate His birth?

The Bible contains great wisdom and insight for living for God. It also contains thousands of words of warning. Read it from cover to cover and you’ll see what I mean. Keep your eyes and ears tuned to the words of prophets and apostles. God used them to both warn and encourage His people.

We are learning something that every Christian should do -- test the spirits. This is not a game or a passing fad in a Christian's life. It is something God has commanded us to do -- test the spirits.

We are answering a Tough Question that faces many Christian teenagers today. Some of their friends attend churches that teach universal salvation.

What we’d like to do in the second part of our answer is look at this part of the question:

"If that’s true, why did Jesus have to die?"

Here’s our next question.

"Some of my friends say their church believes God will save everybody in the end no matter what they believe. If that’s true, why did Jesus have to die?"

We are currently looking at how to test the spirits in our churches, denominations and other Christian organizations. In the last part of this series we looked at the importance of shining a light on false preachers and teachers.

In this part of our series we will look at how to do that: specifically.

This special series is designed to help you and other Christians to be able to identify false preachers and teachers in your church, your denomination, conferences and concerts you attend, and online, radio and television programs you read, hear and watch. As we’ve been documenting in the series, false preachers are everywhere and into everything Christian.

We are answering tough questions from Christian teens about a variety of subjects. The current topics deal with how God saves people.
