Big Question 2: What about Other Religions?

Lucas speaks 1 John 4: 1-10

Exclusivity: How can we say we have the one truth?

Two Strategies that won't work in dealing with the divisiveness of religion:

1. Hoping for and helping religion to weaken or disappear

2. Confine religion to the private realm.
Have everyone agree 2 things:
1. All religions are equally valid paths to God.
2. Religion is good for you, but never argue for values in society based on your religious faith.

A strategy that will work in dealing with the divisiveness of religion:

1. The Origin of Jesus' salvation.

2. The Purpose of Jesus' salvation.

3. The Method of Jesus' salvation.

If we take the Gospel of Jesus Christ into the centre of our lives we can be an agent of the Gospel in the world.
