Chapter 5: Conclusion, Suggestion, and Limitation
5.5 Epilogue
This study sought to see how a person uses technology to shape his faith. At the end of the day, as what previous literature have concluded, when all is said and done, it’s the
relationship with Jesus Christ that makes the difference, in both the offline and online world.
Ultimately, it is faith alone that really matters. Whether the Christian finds salvation through a post of a stranger on Facebook, through a Skype prayer with a friend an ocean’s
distance away, through the through the missionary who invited him over for coffee, or
through walking past an august church along the street, it does not merit an inquest since as what Lavric and Flere (2010) explains, the simple idea is that “Jesus loves everybody and
will ensure a place in heaven for all those who believe in Him.” And as for the Christian’s
spiritual growth, the core is having one’s whole life under the authority of God, allowing Him
to work through you on a daily basis, be it sharing the gospel door-to-door or through one’s
twitter shout-outs, spending a weekend at the prayer mountain, billing internet hours to intercede for a friend via webcam, reading God’s word by leafing through those worn-out Bible pages or using one’s finger jumping from one Bible translation to another off an Ipad…
Technology is powerful, but God can similarly use technology in mighty and creative ways to make us know Him and be with Him.
