When we look back at history, we see plenty of religions and cults that rose up quickly, only to be overthrown or fade away. And that makes people wonder, if all those other religions were false, how can we know that Christianity is different? That's a question we have to answer if we want to be effective evangelists.
A lot of people dismiss Christianity as a religion of con artists and hypocrites. Sometimes these objections are the result of a bad experience with religion in the past. But often, it's actually an excuse to distract from their real objection: They don’t want to submit to God's authority.
What does it actually look like to live as though God keeps his word? It's not always easy. There is questioning, wrestling and wondering; and sometimes what looks like defeat can be the exact opposite. Ambitious faith perseveres through all of it and can leave a lasting legacy. Learn more about what it means to trust God's promises through The Journals of Jim Elliot edited by his wife, Elisabeth Elliot.
