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.

For whoever chooses to come along, this journey isn’t about prescribing what anyone should think. . . . The journey is about a new and better way of thinking. It’s about true wisdom and understanding that continues to grow over time.

I learned to hold on loosely to what I thought was true. Every time I thought I knew something, the Holy Spirit would show me that there was more to it than that.

Everyone who sincerely seeks Christ finds Christ. Although He forces Himself on no one, He rejects no one. Rather, He freely pardons and sets us free from the sinful nature, peer pressure, and the deceitful power of the devil as we yield ourselves to His grace and righteousness. And Christ reveals Himself to every person through the things He has created and the testimony of those who walk in the Spirit. Christ leads, teaches, and corrects every person who follows Him. He interprets our observations and experiences and shows us the way. He’s the Source of every good thing including knowledge, understanding, wisdom, righteousness, and faith. What He says is the truth. Outside of Him, none of those are possible. For instance, the human mind can’t reason to any truth without Christ. Nor can we self-generate true righteousness without Christ.

It seemed that if God doesn’t supply the truth through some form of divine revelation, rational thought would be impossible. Without that truth, humans could only react to their natural senses as animals do. They could learn about how to react to those senses, but they couldn’t reason beyond what they could observe and test. And I noted that science that leads to technology is limited to what we can observe and test. If all of that is true, then all human reason that goes beyond what can be observed or what God has revealed would be irrational and unsound.

Could it be that we can only find truth in Christ Jesus? If so, what does this do to theology, philosophy, and science? How does this affect the argument between presuppositional apologists and evidential apologists? What about logic, critical thinking, and decision-making?
