Chapter 8 interacts with intellectual and experiential objections to Christianity, demonstrating the Bible's clear teaching that Jesus is the only way of salvation. Because he is the one mediator between God and man, seekers and skeptics should patiently seek wisdom by observing his teachings while considering his life, his death, his resurrection, his ascension, and his offer of salvation to all who call upon him. Some of Jesus's followers have failed to live in ways that honor Jesus's perfect life while evil and suffering remain a blight upon humanity's peace and prosperity. Christianity, however, offers an understanding as to why evil exists, and it explains carefully how evil will ultimately be overcome through Jesus's finished work.
