Disciples help persuade them, both through loving words and caring actions. Disciples convince people who reject God of the dangerous consequences of their actions. Most important, though nature reveals God, people need to be told about Jesus and how, through him, they can have a personal relationship with God. Knowing that God exists is not enough. People must learn that God is loving.
People tend to believe lies that reinforce their own selfish, personal beliefs.
Today, more than ever, we need to be careful about the input we allow to form our beliefs. With TV, music, movies, and the rest of the media often presenting sinful life-styles and unwholesome values, we find ourselves constantly bombarded by attitudes and beliefs that are totally opposed to the Bible. Be careful about what you allow to form your opinions. The Bible is the only standard of truth. Evaluate all other opinions in light of its teachings.
