Good Answers
I know whom I have believed and am persuaded that He is able to keep what I have committed to Him until that Day.
2 Timothy 1:12
Peter Byrom became a confirmed atheist while reading Richard Dawkins’ book The God Delusion. But then he discovered a group of Christian thinkers who presented convincing reasons why believing in God was logical and why faith could be intellectually credible. Cracks began appearing in his atheism. “Intellectually the barriers to belief were coming down and the questions being answered,” he said. When a friend of his became a Christian, Peter saw the changes that happened in his life. Peter’s mind became convinced of the truthfulness of Christianity, and his heart followed.1
Sometimes we have hard questions. That’s okay. God welcomes honest questions that can help us grow in our faith! He has good answers. It’s good to look for answers from knowledgeable sources. But use wisdom with regard to whom you speak. You wouldn’t want to harm another’s faith with your own doubts.
The Lord will strengthen your faith as you sincerely seek Him and His wisdom.
“Don’t be conned.” Faith is not “belief without evidence” as Dawkins says, but is “placing your trust in what the evidence shows you.”
