Synopsis

How do we, as Christians, unknowingly block the spread of the Gospel? Timothy George and John Woodbridge unpack the 'blockers' that get in the way. Ultimately, they teach that we must rely on the mark of Jesus - genuine, sacrificial love - to further the good news. A fresh new approach to evangelism.

In a way difficult for us to fathom, how we as Christians relate to one another has a direct bearing upon whether the world will know that Jesus comes from the Father. When this incredibly important point is grasped, we begin to understand that we ignore this neglected "apologetic" to our great loss. Neither our evangelistic efforts, nor our social action, nor our apologetic efforts will receive God's full blessing if we do not evidence the fruits of the Holy Spirit in our relations with each other as believers. The mark of Jesus in us is crucial, and it is compelling.
