I believe in God because every time I go through tough times, He has been able to keep me calm about it. Normally, the average person when going through tough, rock-bottom situations would more often than not be stressed out, worried, or scared just because they do not know the future and how that current situation would turn out. But by grace for me, It’s odd to say this, but because I am able to depend on God for a positive outcome in the very end, I am able to lead a very low-stress life comparatively. People may argue that the Bible is just a book full of mini fairy tales, or just a book full or morals for living standards; but I believe it is much more than that. They may also argue that the Bible is no different than any other book, and that some crazy man wrote it that had magical powers which is why most of it is “true”. But then the Bible is the number 1 bestselling book in the world, and the most translated book in the entire world as well. Could this be considered ironic? Coincidence? Chance? Luck? No. The Bible is number 1 best seller because it is true, each and every word of it.
It has also been made about 2000 years ago, and I don’t think any book made 2000 years ago made it this far, and still be number 1 in bestselling; for if it were fake or not important enough, it would not have made it this far. I mean, think about it – The Bible was made 2000 years ago, and translated into many languages, and still it is very popular today for it is even in hotel room drawers. After hearing all this, you got to say there is something special and unique about this book than any other book. If not, I pray you will in the flow of time while you are still alive believe that the Bible is real and that every word in it is true and God-Breathed (Not written by a single man’s thoughts, but the almighty ultimate authoritative God Himself).
God is invisible, meaning we cannot see him physically, and so is Heaven, angels, demons, they all exist in the spiritual realm, not physical. Miraculous things happen on earth, and many people are amazed by it – Some say it happened by chance, luck, or even God made it happen (which is true). The impossible to the human eye happens around the world in front of witnesses that are not even Christians, this is a sign that there is a God out there (The one and only God that I know). The walls of Jericho are an example of something impossible that occurred thousands of years ago in biblical times. This event was when a group of men were marching around the walls 7 times, and then blowing a sound, and all the sudden the walls fell down and they rushed in. The interesting thing about this is that scholars have studied the wall today and found out that the wall actually fell outward instead of inward, normally and always the walls would fall inward so that the men can rush in, but this time it fell outward. Guys let me tell you, God did this, it was no accident at all – God allowed this to happen to show His mighty power.
