You are established in justice but others are not

You have an heavenly identity but others do not

You are able to love because you are reconciled to God but others are not

You are peace-maker but others are not

TRUTH WILL SET YOU FREE 5

A sure and certain hope

Faith in Christ is reasonable and the Christian faith is defensible:

Yes, it is possible to be a follower of Christ and a rational, clear thinker,

Intellectual integrity and faith in Christ go very well together,

As well as spiritual experiences, Christians also have a rational basis for trust in revelation, and in the death and resurrection of Christ.

The way you guide the conversation

Encourage people to believe that they are capable to discover the Truth:

How is the truth best understood?

Do you think the truth is best understood in the context of the world?

Why do we need to invite people into a process of discovery?

People need to have reason for life (1Pt.3:15)
“Reasoning” is a great tool for understanding and discovering the truth

Reasoning rejects passivity, fanaticism or violence, and establishes reconciliation amongst nations, and between nations and God.

Violence in the families, in the countries and in the world is not removed unless people are open to reasoning.

Why do we need to invite people into a process of discovery?

People have capacity to understand the truth and make decision

Because, “the requirement of the law of God is written in the hearts of people and their consciences bear witness to it” (Rom.2:14-16)

Therefore if “we set the truth plainly and commend ourselves to every person’s conscience in the sight of God” (2Cor.4:2),

The law (values) of God is in charge to lead people to Christ (Gal.3:24)
