Two ways of looking at God's world

By Jason Hiles, Professor of Christian Studies Louisiana College

Jason Hiles Professor of Christian Studies Louisiana CollegeContrary to popular misconceptions, the gospel message encompasses much more than an answer to the question, “How do you get saved?”

While the gospel certainly answers that question, it also bears implications for the whole world and all who live in it. At the start of the twentieth century, the Scottish minister, James Orr, rightly observed that one who, “with his whole heart believes in Jesus as the Son of God is thereby committed to much else besides. He is committed to a view of God, to a view of man, to a view of sin, to a view of Redemption, to a view of human destiny, found only in Christianity.”
