How do we know who we are -- and what we are?
Unlike any other part of creation, humanity hungers to put it all together. We want to know who we really are. We seek answers.
CCN returns to the National Conference on Christian Apologetics to give you and your community the answers to these pivotal questions.
According to scholar and apologist, Ravi Zacharias, Christianity's definition of humanity is unlike any other world religion or philosophy:
"We are particularly individuals... He [God] puts His imprint on us, creating us in the Imago Dei - the image of God... It is the unique fashioning that the Christian faith has alone."
You'll learn how this unique definition affects all aspects of what it means to be human, including:
- Moral framework
- Self-determination
- Intellect
Emotion
- Will
For the humanist, humanity just happens: time plus matter plus chance. Buddhists will tell you that there is no such essential thing as you -- no such thing as self. In Islam there is no individual voice - humanity is distant, "a puny part of the great whole", a diminishing of the individual.
By contrast, this inspiring broadcast will give your community a spectacular vision of the biblical definition of human-kind.
Ravi Zacharias will reveal the staggering good news found in the Christian response. To be human is to have:
- Intrinsic worth: We are created individually by the mind, will and hand of God.
- Reflected splendor: We are created to reflect the worth that God has poured into us.
Finally, Ravi will explain that the greatest evidence of that worth is seen in the life and love of Christ Jesus.
Join CCN for this important program, and give your community the supreme gift of knowing who they really are!
