Quote Source – Elizabeth Elliot
A Biblical Christian worldview perspective – The greatest challenge in Christian evangelism is proving that the Protestant Triune God is real and that He wrote an inerrant Bible which today we can rely on as an instruction manual for life.
After writing over two thousand articles and responding to nearly thirteen thousand followers over the last four years, my conclusion on evangelism is that one can use apologetics to defend our worldview, but ultimate conversion from one who is lost to one who is born-again is a matter of faith, not facts.
Saying one has faith will never be an acceptable answer to those who do not have faith. Facts, including fulfilled prophecies, experienced miracles, the amazing complexity of life, and archaeological evidence supporting the reality of God and His Word cannot serve as the sole foundation for establishing a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.
As Elizabeth Elliot so succinctly put it, faith will not provide all the answers to those with hardened hearts. But those who have been blessed by faith, hope, and trust in our Lord will find the path (Matthew 7:13-14) to the Holy Spirit on this earth and eternal life in the next.
Seekers are drawn to God from many directions, such as trauma in their lives, a sense that the wonder of the world demands a Creator, or apologetics. But this is merely head knowledge, which does not save anyone; even the demons believe in God and shudder (James 2:19). It is only when one takes a faithful leap from their head to their heart that we cross over from death to eternal life.
If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. - Romans 10:9
