FAITH – but not blind Faith

The equation of salvation is relatively simple. God gives us love (John 3:16) and grace (Ephesians 2:8) – and only asks for love (Matthew 22:36-40) and faith (Hebrews 11:6) in return.

God’s love and grace are perfect, but we often fall down on our side of the equation (Mark 9:24, Matt 8:26). So, God is always willing to help us – to give us a reason to believe and a basis for a reasoning faith.

So, God reveals certain events beforehand so we can be assured of His existence (Amos 3:7).

“Surely the Sovereign LORD does nothing without revealing his plan to his servants the prophets.” Amos 3:7

This is not proof of God’s existence (if it was proof we would need no faith), but it is overwhelming evidence of God’s existence. Many Old testament prophecies contain the phrase “then you/they will know that I am the Lord” (Ezekiel 12:15, 33:29, 28:24, 37:13), as though the fulfilling of prophesy is evidence that the Lord is God.
