Converge, Week 5

Day 4: Reality Points to the Creator
Devotional
There’s something powerful about acknowledging reality as God designed it. When we affirm biblical truth about gender, marriage, family, and moral order, we’re not just making cultural statements - we’re pointing people toward their Creator. Reality itself is evangelistic because it reveals the character and design of the One who made all things. Every time we help someone see God’s design clearly, we create an opportunity for them to encounter the Designer. When we explain why marriage between a man and woman reflects God’s covenant love, we’re sharing the gospel. When we affirm the beauty of biblical gender roles, we’re revealing God’s intentional creativity. When we stand for the sanctity of life, we’re declaring the value God places on every human being. This is why cultural engagement isn’t separate from evangelism - it’s a form of evangelism. People who learn to acknowledge reality in one area of life become more open to acknowledging the ultimate reality: that God exists, that He loves them, and that He offers them salvation through Jesus Christ. Our faithful witness to God’s design in everyday matters prepares hearts to receive the greatest truth of all.
Bible Verse
So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them. - Genesis 1:27
