The Authority of Scripture

Bible believing Christians and churches, believing as they do in Christ’s Great Commission to preach the Gospel to every creature (Matthew:28:19-20 [19] Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: [20] Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.
See All...), have tried many methods to reach non-Christian cultures, some of which have not been very effective. Often they have found that preaching the doctrine of salvation by grace through faith in Christ, apart from scriptural and historical foundations of this doctrine, has produced little fruit.

On the other hand, the best results have usually been achieved by those who realized that the scriptural way to approach such people was in terms of the foundational truth of Creation. Once the existence of the true God and His interest in humankind is established, then the missionary can go on to show that it is only the Creator of all men who can really save them from their sins. That same Creator has become man, borne God’s judgment, died for their sins, and been raised again.
