The Two Reasons to Believe

The person who doesn't believe in Jesus Christ because of the "scientific evidence", is deceiving themselves. Seemingly legitimate arguments of logic and science can be offered from both sides of the table. Science, of this sort, is just a trumped up excuse to maintain the worldview you started with. It bolsters and supports the egocentric. It's foolishness to argue with a made up mind. Why waste time?

If cogent argument is making one more defensive, then what is left? One who does not believe needs to see something worth believing in. This person will want to see something that they will want for themselves.

Seeing the difference Christ makes, in the the lives of believers, is one reason to believe that He can make a difference in yours. The active, miraculous love shining out of a believer will make you wonder. Seeing the peace and just plain sanity with which a true christian faces the most challenging of circumstances can persuade the most sceptical. A believer always has something awesome to look forward to, that hope that cannot die! Opiate of the people, indeed!

The other reason to believe, and the best one, is that you get to know Jesus Christ! Remember, this is the One that was sent to show us what God is like! This is the One who gave up everything, including His life, just to have us with Him! In tenderness, He holds us, comforts us, and sustains us! Obedience to His every word is a joy, because He holds only our highest interests in His heart! With Him with us, we need fear nothing! Is it any wonder that praising Him is our greatest honor? That rejoicing in Him is something we'll gladly do, forever?

Anyone who has not trusted Jesus is missing out on anything and everything worthwhile and worth having. Christianity can be proven, but no one should believe only because of the cold, hard facts. That is only a part of it! Convicting is done by the convincing of the heart! Who wouldn't want to be a part of the best possible outcome?
