Faith does not grow in the house of certainty - The Shack
What do you know for sure? (absolutely 100% positive!) ... Be honest &
What/Who do you believe? If you're like me, the second question is easier to answer - but - chances are whatever answers come to mind for either question, I could give you reason to doubt to some degree bc I've wrestled both questions to the ground myself! (just being honest :) .... & if I were a college philosophy professor I could probably do it even more effectively.
bc we know SO little, if anything?! for sure ... yet are convinced of (believe) SO much - is why I believe it's so important to know why you believe what you believe (the evidence). Inherent in what you believe, is who you trust (have faith in). What you believe - & to what degree you are convinced/certain of it - affects EVERYTHING(!) you do.. every choice you make.
For the record... I believe the answer to the second question is much more important than the answer to the first one - in large part, bc I believe it determines where you (I!) will spend eternity - & I also believe:
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son,
that whosoever believeth in him should not perish,
but have everlasting life.
that whosoever believeth in him should not perish,
but have everlasting life.
John 3:16(KJV)
All that the Father giveth me shall come to me;
and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out.
All that the Father giveth me shall come to me;
and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out.
John 6:37(KJV)
Now faith is the substance of things hoped for,
the evidence of things not seen.
Hebrews 11:1 (KJV)
the evidence of things not seen.
Hebrews 11:1 (KJV)
