Anyone who has tried to write evangelistically will appreciate the difficulty of the task.
Maurice Roberts has made a valiant and helpful attempt to answer the question which is the title of this booklet. Having affirmed in the introduction that it is possible to know God personally, he provides the answers to nine basic questions. What does it mean to be saved? How good must we be? Are we not all God’s children? Who can give us righteousness? Is there life after death? How can we be sure of what to believe? Can we be sure that we are saved? What do Christ and the apostles teach about hell? What do Christ and the apostles teach about heaven? I particularly appreciated his explanation of becoming a new creation as being ‘rather like an old book that is re-published in a new edition. They become new and better than ever before.’
