Of Jesus and God
“He must become greater; I must become less.
“The one who comes from above is above all; the one who is from the earth belongs to the earth, and speaks as one from the earth. The one who comes from heaven is above all.
He testifies to what he has seen and heard, but no one accepts his testimony.
The man who has accepted it has certified that God is truthful.
For the one whom God has sent speaks the words of God, for God gives the Spirit without limit.
The Father loves the Son and has placed everything in his hands.
Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life, but whoever rejects the Son will not see life, for God’s wrath remains on him.”
John 3:30-36
Only those who truly believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God will admit it.
If someone other than a Christian were to admit Jesus was the Son of God then they would have to admit that what He said and taught was true. That God exists that Jesus is the only way to heaven.
I cannot prove God scientifically, but neither can you prove Julius Caesar existed scientifically.
All you can do in both cases is look at the facts. In caesar’s case you can look at surviving documents, some coins, and a few other things.
You cannot conduct an experiment that is repeatable to show Julius Caesar existed.
It’s the same with God. You can look around at the complexity of the world. You can read the words of Jesus and the words written in the Bible. By doing so you can conclude there is a God.
In the end however whether it is Christ or caesar you must make a leap of faith and say the evidence is true or false.
It comes down to what I have said before, an act of faith. The writer of Hebrews saying,
Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see.
Hebrews 11:1
And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him
Hebrews 11:6
Think about it.
