Is AI Opposed to the Triune Gospel?

Is AI Evil?




Artificial Intelligence (AI) is rapidly transforming the way we live, work, and create. For many believers, this raises a deep and pressing question: Is AI something we should embrace, or is it a threat to the true gospel? Some fear it replaces human creativity, others worry about its ethical implications, and a few even see it as a step toward a godless world. But before dismissing AI outright, we must ask a more fundamental question: Can technology—AI included—be used for God’s glory?


Throughout history, technology has played a vital role in advancing God’s kingdom. Noah used God-given wisdom to build the ark, the printing press enabled the widespread distribution of Scripture during the Reformation, and the internet has allowed millions to hear the gospel, even in closed nations. 

The Bible reminds us, “In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths smooth” (Proverbs 3:6, GW). The issue isn’t the tool itself—it’s how we use it.

But we don't always see it that way. I know because I used to be a victim of negative attitude towards AI.


For a long time, I thought AI was unnecessary for my creative process. I believed writing, music, and content creation had to be fully “human-made” to be genuine. But as my workload increased, I began to see how AI could actually help me steward my time and gifts more effectively. 

When I needed a way to produce engaging content without spending hours on editing, I discovered Heygen. With its AI-powered tools, I was able to create high-quality video content in minutes, freeing up more time to focus on meaningful storytelling. 

Likewise, when I felt overwhelmed by the self-publishing process, Draft2Digital simplified distribution, allowing me to concentrate on writing while they handled the logistics. 

Even in crafting blog posts and refining content strategies, AI-driven insights helped me connect with my audience more effectively, ensuring that faith-based messages reached those who needed them most.

Not only that, but also AI has been helping me with advertising. Who would have thought that you can create an impactful video Ad with AI? This is very helpful especially if you don't have a budget, as Ads spend lots of money to shoot, edit and produce. But I found a cheap alternative: Creatify. In fact, all I needed to do was paste a link to my book, select the avatar and upload a few photos, and the AI did the rest. Within minutes I had my Ad ready.

In all these instances I was using Artificial Intelligence for good, but that doesn't mean it can't be used for bad purposes too.

Like any tool, AI can be used for good or evil. The real question isn’t whether AI is inherently opposed to the gospel, but rather, how do we, as believers, use it wisely? 

If approached prayerfully, AI can serve as a powerful instrument for spreading the message of Christ with greater impact. Scripture encourages us, “So whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do everything to the glory of God” (1 Corinthians 10:31, GW). This includes using technology as faithful stewards.


AI isn’t here to replace human creativity—it’s here to assist. If it helps us work smarter, reach more people, or create with excellence, then it becomes a tool for kingdom impact. What do you think? Have you used AI in your creative work? Let’s discuss in the comments below!
