52 Apologetics

<p>Is the Bible God's Word? Yes. Is Jesus the Messiah the Son of God and the only Mediator between a sinful people and a perfect holy and righteous God? Yes! Is the Christian faith supported by reasonable provable historical archaeological and philosophical evidence? Yes yes and yes!<br><br>The word apologetics comes from two Greek words apo (out from) and logos (logic) and it literally means to give out a logical defense (apologia). In Christianity it means to give out logical reasons for our faith to defend the truth of Scripture and to give reasons for believing in Christ.<br><br>Like Paul I am set for the defense (apologia) of the gospel (Philippians 1:17). Like Peter I am ready always to give an answer (apologia) to everyone who asks why I trust Christ (1 Peter 3:15). Like Jude I am prepared to earnestly contend (epi-agnízomai: agonize fight) for the faith (Jude 3).<br><br>I have written this book to defend and contend for the Christian faith; I want to let others know why I believe the Bible is God's Word and Jesus is God's Son (2 Timothy 3:16; John 1:34).</p>
