Summary

It’s Witness Wednesday!



Todd Friel is back at it with students at Kennesaw State University talking about the existence of God, sin, and repentance. Todd will emphasizes the need for understanding and accepting Jesus Christ for eternal life and salvation.



Segment 1:



• No Creator, No Moral Standard? – If a painting requires a painter, doesn’t a universe require a Creator? Connor acknowledges this but struggles with defining God.



• Shifting Morality vs. Absolute Truth – If culture shapes morality, what happens when it changes? Without a divine lawgiver, everything is just opinion.



Segment 2:



• Every Sin Counts – From lying to lust, Connor realizes that even internal sins are violations against a holy God.



• Guilty Without Appeal – Standing before the ultimate judge, what defense does Connor have? Without Jesus, the sentence is eternal.



Segment 3:



• Religion Without the Gospel? – Tim understands the framework of Christianity—purpose, morality, and structure—but leaves out the cross. Why?



• The Core of Christianity – Good works and meaning won’t save you. Only the blood of Jesus can pay the fine for your sins.



Segment 4:



• Faith Must Be Personal – Tim gives intellectual answers but is challenged: Has he truly been born again? Or has he just followed religious tradition?



• The Assurance of Salvation – Unlike Connor, Tim confidently recalls the moment he was saved. Do you have that certainty?
