Taking God at His Word
I cannot prove with empirical evidence that God created the heavens and earth. I can however, by logic, show that such is a reasonable explanation for its existence. I believe that He did because the Bible tells me so. I stake my earthly life and my eternal soul upon this faith. I accept by faith that the Bible is the Word of God and is true — 100% true. I take God at His word.
There are a lot of things I do not understand in the Bible. I do not know why water is wet or birds fly. It is just the way God created things. I might suggest some possible explanations, but I cannot know for sure.
"'For My thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways My ways' declares the Lord" (Isa. 55:8).
There are some things which God wants me to do and I do not know the reason why. I can suggest some possible reasons, but I cannot know for sure. My reason for doing them is not a rational understanding, but a committed faith. I take God at His word.
That’s what faith is all about.
