Before sharing the gospel with others, we must pave the way, remove obstacles, and answer the questions that prevent them from accepting the Lord. The objections raised by unbelievers are often not trivial. They cut deep into the heart of the Christian faith and challenge its very foundations. If miracles are not possible, how can we believe that Christ is God? If God cannot control evil, is He truly worthy of worship? If we do not answer these and other objections, our faith is in vain. These are intelligent questions that require reasonable answers.
Fortunately, Christian thinkers have been answering these questions since the days of Paul; therefore, they—in addition to the Word of God itself—are the source we turn to when addressing the issues that plague us today.
