In 2025,
Christianity faces a challenge that cuts deep into the fabric of its essence:
the decline of theological literacy. Churches are struggling to retain members,
and many individuals are walking away from their faith. The challenge is clear,
and it goes beyond attendance numbers, it strikes at the core of what Christians
believe and how they live out their faith.
Theological literacy, or the understanding of God’s truth as revealed in Scripture, is at an all-time low. Many self-identified Christians struggle to answer fundamental questions about their faith, leading to confusion, weak spiritual foundations, and a lack of resilience against the challenges of life in a rapidly changing world.
The Importance of Sound Theology
Throughout history, sound theology has been the anchor of the Christian faith. In Hosea 4:6, God laments, “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge.” This profound truth underscores the critical role of biblical understanding in the life of a believer. Without a firm grasp of God’s Word and His character, Christians can easily fall prey to distorted beliefs, wavering faith, and spiritual apathy.
The New
Testament emphasizes this over and over. Paul’s letters to the early churches
are filled with reminders of theological truths. He reminded the Colossians of
Christ’s supremacy (Col. 1:15–20), addressed the Galatians about the tension
between law and grace (Gal. 3:10–29), and taught the Corinthians about God’s
Spirit (1 Cor. 1:18–2:16). Theology wasn’t an academic exercise for Paul, it was
vital for the survival and growth of the church.
In our world today, believers are bombarded by secular ideologies, misinformation, and a culture that often opposes biblical truth. Without a solid theological foundation, many are left confused and unable to defend their faith or live it out effectively.
Why This Matters Now More Than Ever
This challenge is not just theological but deeply practical. A misunderstanding of God’s Word leads to fractured communities, ineffective ministries, and a loss of spiritual vitality. Imagine a church where members are unsure of what they believe or why they believe it. Such a church cannot thrive, let alone fulfill its mission to share the gospel and transform lives.
Theological literacy equips believers with confidence in their faith. It enables pastors and church leaders to disciple their members effectively, ensuring that their communities are built on a firm foundation.
