 "question": "What is God-consciousness?",
 "answer": "God-consciousness is the point at which an individual becomes aware that God exists. This is also referred to as \"the age of accountability.\"\n\nGod reveals Himself to man through creation (Psalm 19:1–2; Rom. 1:18–20), human conscience (Rom. 2:14–15), His written Word (Matt. 4:4; 2 Tim. 3:16), the Living Word (John 1:1–4, 14–18; Heb. 1:1–2), and the spoken Word (1 Cor. 2:6–7, 13). He has set eternity in the hearts of all men (Eccl. 3:11).\n\nBecause God created humans truly free, individuals choose how to respond to His offer of life. If a person is positive toward God and wants to know more about Him at the point of God-consciousness, He will ensure they hear the Gospel.",
