Without knowing Christ and listening to His voice, we have no way to be rational.

Christ speaks to every person. He speaks through Scripture and every method of divine revelation that He mentions in Scripture. His revelation isn’t any form of made-up stuff. Christ is real and knowable. He knows how to communicate with His created beings.

Jesus Christ is the Truth. All knowledge and wisdom are hidden in Him. He is real and knowable. All who seek Him find Him. He leads all who follow Him. All who love Truth listen to Him. Today, if you hear His voice, do not harden your heart.

(quote from RealReality.org/Real_Faith_and_Reason_Vol_3_-_Scientia.pdf)

Jesus directs, instructs, and transforms all who follow Him. We don’t always listen. And our discernment improves as we mature in Christ. However, God knows how to give the Holy Spirit to those who sincerely want the Holy Spirit and who are willing to die to their own fleshly natures.

Real faith isn’t pretending or making ourselves believe (make-believe). Real faith comes by hearing the utterance (rhema) of God, and Jesus Christ Authors our faith, which is the faith of God. That’s why real faith is substance. It’s reality rather than a concept. And real faith is evidence. It’s absolutely certain proof of what we haven’t yet observed. Without real faith, we can’t be certain of any truth. Therefore, without real faith, there can be no sound reasoning.

We know Jesus is real because we know Him. We know God exists because we know God through Jesus. We know Jesus is God because Jesus reveals that fact to us. We know the Bible is true because Jesus reveals that fact to us and He speaks to us through the Bible.

Jesus is real and knowable, and everyone who wants to find Christ finds Christ. Whoever sincerely loves truth finds Christ. Those who love deception don’t find Christ.

Christ is the Light Who shines His light on everyone whether born again or not born again. His rain falls on the just and the unjust. He reveals reality to anyone who will receive it.

(quote from RealReality.org/Real_Faith_and_Reason_Vol_3_-_Scientia.pdf)

We define sanity as knowing the difference between reality and make-believe. And we define insanity as not being able to tell the difference. Without truth, we can’t tell the difference between truth and error or reality and make-believe.

(quote from RealReality.org/Real_Faith_and_Reason_Vol_3_-_Scientia.pdf)

If we don’t have the truth, we’re subsisting in a world of illusion and delusion. Unless reasoning BEGINS with truth, reasoning can’t lead to truth. Sound reasoning must always be based on truth. We can’t base reason on untruth or we deceive ourselves regardless of how well the untruth is presented. The more convincingly a persuader presents an untruth, the more hurtful and dangerous the lie
