“Well, why doesn’t He a message in the sky?” The universe declares His glory. There is no symphony that wrote itself. No painting that painted itself. No DNA that ever coded itself. This meticulously designed universe must have a Designer. If that’s not enough, He’s also given you 66 books in your language, available for free, so that you can know all about Him, all about His plan, all about how He does things, all about how He loves you.
“Well, I need eyewitnesses evidence.” History is full of the life testimonies of multiplied millions of Christians who, in many cases, spilled their own blood as witnesses for Jesus. In this room are many who can testify of His grace, His goodness, His power, His love, His saving work, His faithfulness.

Will you acknowledge what is true or will you cling to your own hopeless, foundation-less ideas of what you think is right and best? Jesus once said, ‘Blessed are those who have not seen and yet believe.'”
