Features & Highlights
- Biblical Christianity is more than just another private religious view. It’s more than just a personal relationship with God or a source of moral teaching.
- Christianity is a
- picture
- of reality.
- It explains why the world is the way it is. When the pieces of this puzzle are properly assembled, we see the big picture clearly. Christianity is a true
- story
- of how the world began, why the world is the way it is, what role humans play in the drama, and how all the plotlines of the story are resolved in the end.
- In
- The Story of Reality
- , best-selling author and host of
- Stand to Reason
- , Gregory Koukl, explains the five words that form the narrative backbone of the Christian story. He identifies the most important things that happen in the story in the order they take place:
- God
- God
- Man
- Man
- Jesus
- Jesus
- Cross
- Cross
- Resurrection
- Resurrection
- Our story begins with God. He created everything, but something went terribly wrong. So God initiated a rescue plan and entered the world that he had made by becoming like us in Jesus Christ. Jesus saved us from the wrongness in ourselves and in the world through his death on a cross. And how people respond to what he did will determine what their future, at the final event of history: the resurrection.
- If you are already a Christian, this is your story. Do you know it? If you are not a Christian, this is
- still
- your story, because it explains the world in a way that nothing else will. It is a true story—the
- real
- story behind every other story we hear.
