Dear family and friends, we have come with some sort of explanation on part of the above twelve questions. We hope you will get main points in the following short explanations. Please take a look at them carefully and thoroughly. Blessings!

1. What are God’s thoughts about you?

God’s thoughts about me are thoughts of love and blessing.
John 3:16—For God so loved the world that he gave his one and
only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have
eternal life.
Psalm 139:17—How precious to me are your thoughts, O God!
How vast is the sum of them!

2. What is God’s will for you?

God’s will is that I be saved and come to the knowledge of the truth
(1 Timothy 2:3,4).
John 10:10—“The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I
have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.”

3. Where does God show us how we may be saved?

God shows us how we may be saved in His Holy Word, the Bible.
John 20:31—These [words] are written that you may believe that
Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing you may
have life in his name.

4. How did God give the Bible to us?

God gave us His written word by inspiring chosen prophets,
evangelists, and apostles, giving them the thoughts and words to
write.
2 Peter 1:21—For prophecy never had its origin in the will of man,
but men spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy
Spirit.
2 Timothy 3:16—All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for
teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness...
1 Corinthians 2:13—This is what we speak, not in words taught
us by human wisdom but in words taught by the Spirit, expressing
spiritual truths in spiritual words.

5. Does the Bible teach you everything necessary for salvation?

Yes, the Bible alone teaches the complete truth about salvation.
John 20:30,31—Jesus did many other miraculous signs in the
presence of his disciples, which are not recorded in this book. But
these are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the
Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name.
2 Peter 1:3,4—His divine power has given us everything we need
for life and godliness through our knowledge of him who called us
by his own glory and goodness. Through these he has given us his
very great and precious promises, so that through them you may
participate in the divine nature and escape the corruption in the
world caused by evil desires.
See also John 5:24.

6. Is the Bible sometimes hard to understand?

The Bible is sometimes hard to understand, but it is clear enough to
those who use it correctly.
