The aim of Why Christianity is:
- To model a respectful and informed presence for biblical Christianity in the public arena.
- Through truth and love to show why Christ is worth considering.
- To train Christians to articulate and graciously defend the Christian worldview.
We aim to support churches and Christian schools in Perth with apologetics resources and training through conducting courses, giving talks, and holding discussions. Ultimately, the aim of the group is to glorify God and support the spread of the gospel through apologetics.
Christians are called to be prepared to respectfully give an answer to everyone who asks us concerning the hope that we have (cf. 1 Peter 3:15). Apologetics, which is making a case for the truth of the Christian faith, is an expression of loving God with one’s mind. It strengthens the faith of believers and helps remove obstacles non-believers might have to accepting Christ.
