The Three Most Important Christian Truths to Defend Today

Christianity is True: God Knows His World

Jared Moore
-The Three most important claims to defend today are 1) God exists; 2) Mankind is a special creation of God, not the product of evolution or of impersonal forces in the universe. 3) Christ rose from the dead.

1. One of the three most important truths to defend today is God's existence. If we can prove God's existence, then we have a better chance to destroy the perceived autonomy humanity so greatly desires. Once humanity realizes that his mind isn't the ultimate authority, and that God is, we then can show them how the Christian God can account for His creation. Apart from God's existence, morality, truth, laws, etc. become relative; and if carried to its consistent end, leads to the rights of the "fittest" alone. All will be crushed in under the "ultimate" authority or the "fittest" if humanity carries it out. For example, Peter Singer's mentality is terrifying; however, at least he's consistent. The scariest thing is that those who begin with his same foundation of evolution, if they carry it out to its consistent end, will ultimately all end up beyond him. So, hide your toddlers, the elderly, and the handicapped, for if God doesn't exist, the fittest eventually "rule".

2. Another one of the three most important truths to defend today is that mankind is a special creation of God, not the product of evolution or of impersonal forces in the universe. If we can show that God is Creator God, then we can communicate God's perfect creation in perfect fellowship with Him in the beginning, the Fall of Creation due to sin, the resultant evil, disease, natural disasters, and death, as well as, the need for all to turn from believing humanity can save itself, and trust in the God-Man Jesus Christ alone as our substitutionary atonement. Once God is shown as creator, we can then establish mankind as the only creation which bears His image. Because of this truth, the dignity of man rests not in his age, occupation, social status, race, location, sex, etc., but his dignity rests in the God who created him for His glory. We murder around 1 million babies a year in the USA; and we elect officials who fight for it; and yet, we condemn the holocaust where roughly 6 million Jews were murdered. Yet, we have murdered over 45 million babies in the USA. This is what happens when the dignity of man is based on age or location instead of in the immutable God who created him.

3. The final of the three most important truths to defend today is that Christ rose from the dead. All the claims of Christianity which separate it from other religions hinges on whether or not Jesus Christ physically rose from the dead. There have been other so-called messiahs of history; there have been others who claimed to be God incarnate; however, there is only One who validated His Messianic claims by rising from the dead. This is what separates Christ from all the other professed "messiahs" of history. Not only this, but all sinners must trust in the Christ who rose from the dead; not the Jehovah's Witness "christ", the Islam "christ", South Park "christ, Family Guy "christ", or the Atheist "christ", but the Christian Christ.
