Why Would We Matter to God?


Listen Later

Greg answers questions from callers about who sits on the left side of God, why we would matter to God and he would require anything of us, whether it’s wrong to be grateful when other people are suffering, principles for living in a world with AI, and how a Calvinist knows he’s saved.
 
Topics:
  1. Who sits on the left side of God? (04:00)
  2. My atheist friend admits there must have been an Architect of the universe, but he can’t believe that we would matter to him or that he would require anything from us, and he asks why anyone should go to Hell just because they don’t want to submit to his will. (12:00)
  3. Is it wrong to be vocal about the things we’re grateful for when other people are suffering? (32:00)
  4. Can you offer some principles to equip believers to be prepared to live in a world with AI—to avoid pitfalls and be successful in their Christian walk? (38:00)
  5. If people are all born totally depraved and unable to understand spiritual truths, then how does a Calvinist know he’s saved? (51:00)
