Watch as Ligonier Teaching Fellow Dr. Stephen Nichols responds to a finding from our State of Theology survey that suggests nearly half of U.S. evangelicals* reject the Bible’s teaching about sin. Read our key findings from The State of Theology survey and explore the data yourself at https://thestateoftheology.com/ * Evangelicals were defined by this survey as people who strongly agreed with the following four statements: ● The Bible is the highest authority for what I believe. ● It is very important for me personally to encourage non-Christians to trust Jesus Christ as their Savior. ● Jesus Christ’s death on the cross is the only sacrifice that could remove the penalty of my sin. ● Only those who trust in Jesus Christ alone as their Savior receive God’s free gift of eternal salvation.
