We all know 'Ripley's: Believe It or Not'. Well, the Bible remix would be 'God:Believe in Him or Rot'. Yes, it's both slightly depressing and blunt but our life or death due to religious beliefs, though very important, aren't the particular point of this blog. My focus is what we choose to believe. It struck me when I read 1 John 1:2.
He who gives life was shown to us. We saw him and can give proof about it. And now we announce to you that he has life that continues forever. He was with God the Father and was shown to us.
Proof. How do we choose when it's necessary? How many times do you arrive at school and learn that Cindy Lou went to this crazy party and got 'totally trashed' and got in a wreck and had both legs amputated and her face re-done(this is exagerrated but stay with me) and by third period the whole school is buzzin. Next thing you know, you walk in to fourth period and there Cindy Lou is smilin in her desk legs and all. Who asked for a referance? Who asked for validity? Who bothered to ask 'how do you know'? No one. We all just took it and ran.
Now, preach that our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ made the universe in 7 days and who's laughing it off? Who's badgering you for 'proof'. Sand samples and fossilized ferns. Who's askin to see what proves that God flooded the Earth. Suddenly, we're all drivin to find tangible evidence. Fair? Stevie Jo who heard from Bo John who heard from Sheila Lyn is point on as a needle, but the word of God is worthy of doubt?
John 14:6
Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me."
