That only faith in Jesus who died for our sins and took our place of bearing God's punishment that man can ever be saved and have eternal life. A Christian engaged in social or political works without the power of the gospel and the aid of the Holy Spirit is like an empty drum, making noise and having little impact in the harvesting of souls. So I think the dilemma facing Msian christians is not Hamlet's dilemma of whether to be or not to be a man of action. It is precisely this limited choice that caused Hamlet to end tragically. Without the power of the Holy Spirit and the word of God, we won't be able to contend with the enemy of this world, which is not flesh and blood but principalities.
