Book Cover & Preview Text
Every day, more and more people turn to the Internet to find answers to their questions about spiritual matters. Topics related to spirituality are the second-most searched subjects online. Sadly, websites that present false teachings far outnumber those that proclaim the truth of God’s Word. In February of 2002, www.gotquestions.org was launched to help fill this gap and meet the needs of millions of spiritually-minded Web surfers. Since our launch, we have personally answered over 420,000 questions that have been submitted to us. Tens of millions of people have found answers to their questions via our Frequently Asked Questions archives, giving us a unique understanding of what questions are truly on people’s minds. This volume is a collection of the most important and/or most frequently asked questions about salvation. Each question is answered directly from the Bible, if the Bible specifically addresses the particular issue. Where the Bible is silent on an issue, biblical principles are used to lead to a solid and correct understanding. The Lord Jesus Christ is our passion, and declaring His Word is our mission.

About the Book
Every person in the world has felt the influence of the Holy Spirit at one time or another. For some, it’s the conviction of “sin and righteousness and judgment” (John 16:8). For others, it’s the comfort, guidance, and strength He gives. To some, the Spirit is as mysterious and unknowable as a night wind passing through the treetops. To others, He is as close and inviting as a friend across the table.
But even those who know the Holy Spirit personally have questions about Him. As Oswald Chambers said, “The Spirit is the first power we practically experience, but the last power we come to understand.” That’s the reason for this book.
What gifts does the Spirit give? How can I be filled with the Spirit? Will the Spirit ever leave me? We’ve received all these questions and more since GotQuestions.org was founded in 2002. To find the answers, we opened the Bible, the one book inspired by the Holy Spirit Himself. In searching the Scriptures, we learn of the Spirit’s nature, His work, and His will.
May the Holy Spirit use the questions and answers in this volume to increase your awareness of His presence, encourage your heart, and empower your faith.
