Faith in Christ and every day judgment calls continued …
What makes us think or believe (have faith even) that the chair we’re about to sit in will hold us up and keep us from crashing to the ground? Is it because we’ve taken the time to examine the structure of the chair to gain confidence that it’s sturdy enough to hold our weight? It’s more likely that the law of probability wins the day based on how many times in the past that we’ve successfully sat down in a chair without incident.
If it’s true that the history of Israel showed the reality of Jesus coming to this earth in the flesh (incarnate), along with Him fulfilling over 300 Old Testament prophecies … it’s beyond reasonable to trust our faith in Him to be our Lord and Savior!
If you’re still stuck on whether God actually exists, and if there really is an ‘intelligent designer’ responsible for creating everything, please consider the Teleological argument … which says:
- Things do not design themselves (think, a watch maker), as the law of science essentially means that an object reflects a purpose or a goal, which necessitates it having a designer.
Paul says in Romans 1:16-20, “For I am not ashamed of this Good News about Christ. It is the power of God at work, saving everyone who believes—the Jew first and also the Gentile. This Good News tells us how God makes us right in his sight. This is accomplished from start to finish by faith. As the Scriptures say, “It is through faith that a righteous person has life.” But God shows his anger from heaven against all sinful, wicked people who suppress the truth by their wickedness. They know the truth about God because he has made it obvious to them. For ever since the world was created, people have seen the earth and sky. Through everything God made, they can clearly see his invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature. So they have no excuse for not knowing God.”
I don’t pretend to know the entire context of your life and why you currently believe what you believe. But I would encourage you to search the Scriptures, let them be your guide as it relates to who Jesus is … and how you should sincerely consider responding by faith to His free offer to save your soul for all eternity.
