B: Believe




And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.
Acts 16:31







Even in the presence of Jesus, some faltered in their belief, such as this man:

And straightway the father of the child cried out, and said with tears, Lord, I believe; help thou mine unbelief.
Mark 9:24

I believe that Jesus is Lord. There is just so much historical proof of his birth, death, and resurrection. Not just the biblical accounts, but secular history agrees with these records. But, discussing my belief can cause atheists and agnostics to come out of the woodwork with all of their arguments against belief. I’m sorry to say, that scientific theories do not affect my belief in God. 

I believe because I have seen God’s work and have felt His presence. I believe because I was given a strong foundation of belief by being raised in a community where nobody voiced doubts about God’s existence. I believe even when it’s difficult and my faith is tested and the atheists shout their theories in my face. In the end, this sums up the reason I will never consider giving up my faith in God:

Christianity, if false, is of no importance, and if true, of infinite importance. The only thing it cannot be is moderately important.
- C.S. Lewis
