In 2nd Timothy, chapter 3, God tells us about a time when people will be “always learning but never able to come to knowledge of the truth.” If they’re learning but not coming to the knowledge of the truth, what are they learning? God calls it learning, but learners can learn lies and evil. Teachers can teach lies and evil. Thinkers can think irrationally.

We need to have absolute knowledge of the difference between realities that are true and concepts that are false or unknown. We can’t have this by simply claiming it or using circular reasoning or other fallacies.

We have a sense in our spirits that we can be certain God is real, Jesus Christ is real, and the Holy Spirit is here to guide and direct our lives.

We long for the genuine. We hate to be deceived. We love the truth. Jesus Christ is the Truth.

While fantasy can hold our attention, it can’t produce real satisfaction since we long for the authentic and the genuine. We want to be true to who we are, our true calling. Since we treasure all that’s good, we find ourselves willing to abandon complacency. We’re willing to risk the loss of comfort because of our love for reality, hate for being deceived, and intense desire for truth.

beyond the blind, make-believe faith of ungodly thinkers to the faith that is substance and absolutely certain proof

Real faith comes by hearing the utterance of God. Jesus Christ authors it. We can’t self-generate it. It’s not making ourselves believe; that’s the faith of the ungodly. They make themselves believe, and we call that make-believe faith. Real faith is substance. It’s the substance of things hoped for. Real hope isn’t “I hope so.” Real hope is a vision from God about His intentions and goals. Real hope is solid and factual. Real faith is also evidence. It’s the evidence of things we haven’t yet seen. This isn’t the fake evidence of the ungodly. Faith is the evidence that’s absolutely certain proof of those things God has revealed and promised.

Our journey doesn’t just prove that faith is rational, but it proves that truly rational thought is impossible without faith.

We should understand how we know that the truth is the truth. For instance, how can we know that the Bible is true and that God is real? We need to be able to answer that question absolutely.

We should know why we believe, and our thinking should be sound and built on a firm foundation of truth.
