Are You Satisfied with the Online Answers to Common Bible Questions?

A Digital Opportunity for the Gospel

Every day, hundreds of thousands of people search online for answers about the Bible. Many of these searchers are unchurched and have little biblical literacy. They ask questions like:

• What does the Bible say about tattoos?
• What does the Bible say about sex before marriage?
• What does the Bible say about manifestation?
• What does the Bible say about salvation, heaven, and hell?

This presents a massive opportunity for Christians and churches to engage with these seekers by providing biblical answers through high-quality online content. “Go therefore and make disciples of all nations…” (Matthew 28:19) includes the digital world, where people are already asking questions about faith.

Engaging Culture Through Online Content

Beyond direct Bible-related searches, many people are interested in broader cultural and historical topics that intersect with Scripture. Subjects like ancient civilizations, biblical history, and the origins of religious texts captivate online audiences. Many YouTube channels explore these themes, but few provide a clear biblical perspective.

Christians can enter this space with compelling, well-researched content that points people to Christ. By addressing common questions and exploring biblical history, churches can connect with spiritually curious individuals who might never step into a church building.

How to Create and Share Biblical Content

Churches and individuals can participate in this digital mission field by producing:

• Articles: Blog posts answering common Bible-related questions.
• Videos: Short-form and long-form videos explaining biblical topics.
• Podcasts: Engaging discussions on faith, theology, and Christian living.

One notable effort is the Bible Answers Project, which seeks to provide biblically sound answers to common spiritual questions. The goal is to multiply high-quality content yearly, equipping seekers with gospel-centered truth.

The Lasting Impact of Great Answers

Unlike paid advertising, well-crafted online content remains accessible for years. A strong blog post or video can reach thousands, even millions, over time. As people link to and share valuable content, its visibility increases, ensuring a long-term impact.

However, this strategy requires patience and faithfulness. “So neither he who plants nor he who waters is anything, but only God who gives the growth” (1 Corinthians 3:7). Providing great answers to common questions may not provide overnight success. But it can be an excellent long-term investment in the Great Commission.
