How do we know that God uses conflict as an opportunity for evangelism?

Answered in 1 source

Conflict arises from the gospel's challenge to human presuppositions, creating opportunities for evangelism as believers share the truth of Christ.

The nature of the gospel itself introduces conflict because it fundamentally contradicts the self-assured notions that humanity holds about righteousness and standing with God. As noted in the sermon, when these conflicts arise, believers can view them as divine opportunities to share the gospel. Acts 3 illustrates this principle, where the healing of the lame man generates both astonishment and opposition, thus prompting a message about Christ's power and glory. The apostolic messages that follow not only address the conflict but also reveal the gospel's power to transform lives, demonstrating how God orchestrates conflicts to foster conversations about His truth and grace.
