Without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is and that He is a rewarder of those who seek Him. – Hebrews 11:6
Y sin fe es imposible agradar a Dios. Porque es necesario que el que se acerca a Dios crea que Él existe, y que recompensa a los que lo buscan. – Hebreos 11:6
Contrary to public opinion and the loud, relentless shilling of skeptics, agnostics, and atheists, coming to faith in Jesus doesn’t mean you abandon your reason, intellect, logical thinking, and order (1 Cor. 14:33; Rom. 15:33; Pro. 3:19; 24:3). Becoming a Christian doesn’t mean just “blindly believing” in Christ, without a lot of justification and examination of proven historical facts and after evaluating the authenticity and accuracy of the Bible, the eyewitnesses, testimonies, fulfilled prophecies, recorded miracles, etc. God wants you to decide based on truth and understanding (John 4:23-24). You examine all the evidence and then make a rational, logical decision based on that evidence. Your step of faith is believing in the many things that we cannot directly measure (e.g., eternal life, God is Spirit, etc.). Documented miracles, fulfilled prophecies, His command over nature, and eyewitness testimonies all confirm that Jesus was indeed God, and those are all documented in Scripture. Furthermore, new archaeological finds continue to validate the Bible; in fact, no archaeological or historical find or scientific advancement has ever contradicted the Bible. Each new find has only strengthened and supported what is already written in the Bible – many things are recorded in Scripture hundreds or more years before they occurred. If you are still unsure or have doubts and questions, please face them head-on! You owe it to yourself to do that. It is your “eternal life” which is at stake. Please don’t let doubts and questions stand in your way; I did that for a long time (nearly 30 years). We today have access to many wonderful Christian resources, many from fully credentialed scientists who are experts in their fields. You can find more info on our website, www.eachday.org.
