---Info drop about Christ:
If Jesus isn't the truth, I'm a fool for my faith in him.
History is a legitimate form of knowledge. It is based on the reliability of eyewitness testimony.
Eye-witnesses (John, Matthew, Mark, Peter, Paul, James &others)
saw Christ risen from the dead. They wrote about his sinless life, ethical teachings, death, and resurrection despite their doubts about him. Jesus claimed to be the son of God, (God's word) and predicted his own death & resurrection.
These eye-witnesses who were doubters in need of evidence, were killed for maintaining Jesus is Lord/King over Caesar. Rome was pagan, people worship what they wanted as long as they maintained Caesar is lord. These eye-witnesses claimed they SAW Christ and were willing to die for what they SAW, Jesus risen from the dead. They were then killed. If they lied, they had nothing to gain other than their own deaths.
Ask yourself, "What I am living? What's the evidence that it's more reliable/trustworthy than faith in Christ?"
Look at your experience and think, "Is it reasonable to believe a thinking mind came about from unthinking matter? Does the inanimate matter ever produce animate matter? Can laws of logic come about without a law writer?"
Jesus promise to you when you seek these answers: (Matthew 7:7-8 KJV)
"Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened."
Jesus promises God loves you so much, he sent his only begotten son to take on your due punishment to the sin/wrongdoings you have done so that you may live in relationship with him and those you love for eternity. (Reference -> John 3:16) Our purpose is loving God & loving and serving each other. (Matthew 22:37-40)
Evidence is, you and I can trust Christ :)
