The Greatness of the Christian Faith

Of all the religious movements that have influenced and affected the lives of men, there has not been one since the beginning of time that has had a greater influence than the religion of Jesus Christ. Its effect has been universal and is still exercising great power over men and women today. Prophets of old spoke in high praise for this way of life that was introduced by the Son of God. In speaking of the greatness of this way of life, the prophet Isaiah stated that it would surpass all other. “And it shall come to pass in the last days, that the mountain of the Lord’s house shall be established in the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall flow unto it. And many people shall go and say, Come ye, and let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem” (Isaiah 2:2-3). Another of God’s great prophets is the prophet Daniel. When Daniel was called upon to interpret the dream of Nebuchadnezzar, he explained that there would be kings representing four different kingdoms. The fourth period was represented by a multiple number of kings who were from the Roman Empire. It was during the times of these kings that God would establish the way of Christianity. “And in the days of these kings shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom, which shall never be destroyed: and the kingdom shall not be left to other people, but it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand for ever” (Daniel 2:44). Daniel made it clear that the kingdom he was speaking about was a kingdom that would not be destroyed. Its influence could not be overpowered by anyone but would remain forever. In this lesson, we want to look at some of the things that make this way of life so great.

The field of Christian Apologetics challenges our thinking while strengthening our faith in God and His revealed book, the Bible. Living in a world that looks with disdain on anything connected with God, it is extremely important for Christian people to be able to offer a strong and logical defense for their cause.
