"Our Father WHO ART"

I will to believe – Choice, decision. (What do I really want?)

Questions and answers. Do doubts overwhelm what I believe even under explained evidence just because one obstacle demands an answer? I can have confidence all the explanations that make sense are trustworthy in overcoming any nagging objections to faith. If I have all the answers, there wouldn’t be any faith.

If there is a hell, what is it separating some from the alternative of Heaven? Is that fair? Who is the intelligent designer that caused my world to begin to exist? The highly ordered event from the moment of inception of my universe is fine tuned precision balance that defies any qualities of infinitesimal differences.

God does exist! We know deep down that objective moral values do exist for the survival of the species. There is a right and a wrong. Every living cell has been encoded in the four-letter chemical alphabet of DNA – confirming the existence of intelligent designer who is behind the miraculous creation of my life. His Word to us is the best reliable source to verify our own existence. To defy all the odds of its validation in the proof text would be to confirm unbelief. Jesus is all He claimed to be, proven by His resurrection, the ultimate authentication of His Divinity. He did die by crucifixion and buried in a known tomb that was found empty by His followers. Nobody claimed that it was anything but vacant. All the different appearances of Jesus, alive from the dead, cannot be dismissed because of the extreme early accounts they experienced. They knew Jesus to be alive and were willing to go to their death proclaiming Jesus is the Son of God. All the corroborating evidence of history points to that fact.

The suffering in our world does not constitute some evidence against the existence of God – but is buried by an avalanche of other evidence He does exist. We may not understand why, we can trust that God is just and that someday we’ll have an explanation. It is logical to make a choice in the context of convincing evidence, Christianity is true and that therefore God is trustworthy and loves us deeply.

“If you seek Him with all your heart, then you will find Him.”

The transformation of WHAT you believe into WHO you believe in, eliminates any argument of His existence in your life.

“OUR” faith is “OUR” Father needs no explanation or it wouldn’t be faith. He just is, that’s all there’s to it! What I think does not change His “BE”ing.
Miracle of redeeming us into the image of Jesus is not miraculous if we could explain it. It is not natural for us to try, like the things we control. We obey Him because of His image creates in us a totally new person who wants to be His person.
