I
heard a question thrown at a man I greatly respect. R.C. Sproul, a philosopher and theologian,
was asked, "What, in your opinion, is the greatest spiritual need in the
world today?"
Dr.
Sproul paused, then replied, "The greatest need in people's lives today is
to discover the true identity of God."
He pointed out that most nonreligious people do not really understand
the God they're rejecting. If they did,
they would probably call a truce -- at least a temporary truce -- to make sure the
battle was worth continuing.
Someone
then asked the theologian a follow-up question: "What, in your opinion, is
the greatest spiritual need in the lives of church people?"
To
my delight Sproul shot back the very same answer: "To discover the true
identity of God. If believers really understood
the character and the personality and the nature of God, it would revolutionize
their lives."
