Problems in society
<br>
<br>
It should be noted, however, that Jesus said it was the Holy Spirit, not man, who was sent to convict the world concerning sin and righteousness (John 16:8). This relieves Christians of needing to worry when they evangelize. God is the one who gets the credit with the growth and maturity of the Church: "So then neither the one who plants nor the one who waters is anything, but God who causes the growth" (1 Corinthians 3:7).

== Problems in society ==
Christians believe that, ultimately, all of society's problems are due to the presence of [[sin]].
The original [[creation]] was of a [[paradise]], in which there were no problems, suffering, or [[death]], but that these were introduced as a result of the [[Fall of man]].
Consequently, although humanity will never return to a sinless state on Earth, adoption of God's standards is expected to minimise problems on society.
[[Creationism|Creationists]], whilst blaming rejection of God's standards and God Himself for society's problems, point to the [[theory of evolution]] as providing much of the justification for that rejection.
