Questions

Is God real?

Honestly, nobody can prove or disprove God the way you'd solve a math problem. But Christians don't think faith means believing without reasons.

People point to a few things: that anything exists at all, the order and beauty of the universe, the sense of right and wrong almost everyone shares, and most of all Jesus, a real person in history whose life, death and reported resurrection changed the world.

Faith is trusting, for good reasons, what you can't fully see yet. And doubt is welcome. Plenty of people in the Bible wrestled with God out loud.

Read it for yourself

  • Romans 1:20 · The idea that creation itself points to God.
  • Psalm 19:1 · A poem about the sky telling of God's glory.
  • John 20:24–29 · Thomas doubted, and Jesus met him right there.

A next step: Read the Gospel of John, one short chapter a day, and try an honest prayer: "God, if you're real, show me."
