REASONS WE BELIEVE
Whether you are someone who has decided to become a Christian, or someone who is just looking into reasons to believe, you will be powerfully impacted by the overwhelming evidences and reasons there are to have faith in God, The Bible, and Jesus Christ.
The purpose of this study is to give you a “Quick Start” on the evidences and reasons to believe. Often times there are very good books on particular subjects, but they focus deeply in just one area. We hope here to offer a “digest” with a quick overview of the scope of what there is in all areas. Since the purpose of this writing is to be just a quick introduction, we have dispensed with all the footnotes and references; the facts enclosed here are generally known facts, which can be accessed through many other more thorough books.
After this overview, individuals can go as deeply as they wish, for there is overwhelming support for our faith. Indeed, Christianity has the “high ground” when it comes to reasons and evidences for faith. Indeed Christianity is the best faith one can have for support in the modern age, because of its evidences and reasons. It came about in openness in our history.
As the Apostle Paul said to a government official of his time: For the king knows about these matters, and I speak to him also with confidence, since I am persuaded that none of these things escapes his notice; for this has not been done in a corner.
This manual is not a Bible study, though verses and Scriptural principles are included. It is to be a reference manual, which is hoped to become a resource that will continually be added to though out your life.
The goal of this quick study is to give you “handles”, those memorable facts and reasons you can easily remember and refer to. We want to be a digest from many sources.
This study is the first quarter of a year’s worth of discipleship materials. The purpose is to give a “quick start” basis for a strong faith which will bring you into spiritual maturity in Christ. For that is our goal: Colossians 1:28.
