I recently engaged with a woman online who claimed to be a Christian but adamantly opposed Jesus’ deity.
After several unsuccessful conversations with her on the subject, it became clear how her well-crafted argument could easily sway someone unfamiliar or unprepared with the truth on this essential doctrine.
This encounter is one of the reasons why I am so passionate about helping believers know what the Bible teaches and contend for biblical truth when challenged. It also reminded me how important it is to share the gospel because people’s eternity hangs in the balance.
Do you know that “what people believe” matters and is the only deciding factor between their life and death for eternity?
Jesus said in John 3:36, “He who believes in the Son has everlasting life; and he who does not believe the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God abides on him.”
Jesus also said in Matthew 7:13, “Enter through the narrow gate; for the gate is wide and the way is broad that leads to destruction, and there are many who enter through it.”
Do you feel ill-equipped or well-equipped to answer those who challenge the Christian faith or essential doctrine? Let me know in the comments.
