★ Do You Demand Proof!

He who comes to GOD must believe that HE is, and that HE is a rewarder of those who deligently seek HIM. (Hebrews 11:6)

Some people demand a proof of GOD's existence without being willing to seek HIM earnestly. They reject The BIBLE as The WORD Of GOD, with the objection that someone must first prove there is a GOD. Their reasoning is at fault. In any field of knowledge one must accept certain basic facts before continuing to examine the structure of the subject. 

Would it not be foolish to pour doubts on the subject of Mathematics simply because one refuses to agree to the accepted principles on which it is based?

It is not possible to prove that two numbers that are each the same as a third must therefore be equal in themselves; one  must blindly accept the fact. However, if one understands something of Mathematics,  one recognizes the correctness of the whole system. Or lets consider another theory in Science.  For example, in evaporation, we can never see the water being converted to vapor, our eyes can never see the process, yet we believe it blindly simply because some great scientist said so. In the Bible, we are called to believe in the greatest MASTER Scientist of all time, JESUS!

It is no different concerning the knowledge of GOD. We must believe that HE exists and that HE rewards those who earnestly inquire after HIM. We must also believe that through HIS SPIRIT, HE has given mankind pronouncements that are recorded in HIS WORD, The HOLY BIBLE.

So we must read The BIBLE with a heart of faith! Don't demand a proof of GOD's existence beforehand;  as soon as you have come to know The One True  GOD, you will no longer need any proof. By faith we understand.  Hebrews 11:3 says  that by faith we understand that the universe was formed at GOD's command, so that what is seen was not made out of what was visible; if we reverse the process, we shall experience the short circuit which affects so many today.

Taken from the daily Gospel meditations, The Good Seed!

Lets not forget the words of JESUS in John 20:29 which goes this way. "Then JESUS told him (Thomas), Because you have seen ME you have believed; blessed are those who have not seen ME and yet have believed."
