The way we understand people impacts our mission. God's role is to open doors and soften hearts while our role is to proclaim and persuade. In order to fulfill our role we need to understand the answer to three questions about people: 1) What are humans?; 2) Who are humans?; 3) How do we speak to humans? There are many perspectives regarding these questions but it is essential to understand the answers from a Biblical perspective. Humans are made in God's image and are separated from Him because of sin. Understanding who they are requires understanding their worldview; the assumptions they have about the world and how it works. Speaking to humans includes drawing them out to better understand them and to know how to best communicate with them. The results are up to God and ultimately people's personal choice but we can have an impact on God's mission to reveal Himself to humanity.
