believe without evidence ?*
Those who need evidence for God and those who mistakenly believe "Do Christians just believe without evidence without trustworthy basis?" Will find answers here.
This resource will help you Examining God's existence, Jesus, Christianity and the Gospel.
Christianity is not blind faith. Faith and belief are synonymous with trust and assurance. "Believe in Jesus" means have trust in Jesus. Our trust is based in the facts and evidence. And I challenge you to also examine through investigation. Like a detective. You may not have had all the facts and evidences in the past, but you can finally find them thru these links/resources.
God says in Scripture, "Come let us reason together"... he is saying come and look at all this information I've provided for you. Investigate it. See that it's good, true and trustworthy. Jesus himself Said to doubting Thomas, Thomas come here put your fingers in the nail holes in my hands. See the holes in my feet and my side. Come investigate.
Then said Blessed are those who believe but haven't seen." Just because we arent/weren't there to travel through time from God creating everything in 6 days, thru to Moses and Jesus and the Apostles time... history, archeology and Scriptures (properly preserved by God through all time)... we have the Bible, history and historians who spent their life researching the evidences. They are indeed the information we can use to serve us as "Reliable", to investigate, and come to a truthful conclusion.
Jesus gave skeptics reasons to believe.. Jesus said, hey if you don't believe, at least believe in the evidence.... He also spent 40 days with the Apostles & followers "showing them"... "many other convincing proofs" even after His Resurrection. And explained how he fulfilled the prophecies, besides the ones the Apostles realized the OT Scriptures spoke of Him.
The Bereans were people in NT era who investigated the claims of Christians and found it to be true and reliable. It's why the Bible says "Be Like the Bereans" who diligently searched out the truth.
God calls us to come investigate but to do so properly and unbiased. And once you reach the conclusion, you'll see that it's true. And the next step is action is understanding the Gospel
1. Investigate like you're a detective. Gather all the info, examine it and get the conclusion. And that conclusion is basically brought thru evidence like at court for a judgment.
*Examine everything in the Scriptures (in the Bible)
*Examine everything from History (extra Biblical)
π§ See below links and helps
2. Once that is done, then you have to concern yourself with ehat the Bible says about "you". It takes you through your own court case before God. A good and just Judge will ensure a criminal gets what's due to them for their crimes. Examine this and see where you are (needGod.com).
Then if you realize you need Jesus- Repent and Trust in Jesus. It's simply like this... you broke God's Law, Jesus came in to pay the fine. If you recieve it (it's applied to your case) ...and you are free to go πππ. Still guilty, but forgiven cuz the debt was paid. Plus have your relationship to God restored through Him giving you Spiritual life; (no longer "dead in tresspasses and sins") but "alive in Christ". And are also given free gift of eternal life. This makes the good news good indeed! We end up getting what we don't deserve and not receiving what we justly do deserve. Jesus switching places with us, on the Cross, so we can have all these and many more blessings. ππ

Finally a way to investigate, and find out the truth. Investigation begins here π
Please note, not exhaustive from history, but are included in materials... several people here in the resources were historians, lawyers, journalists, and detectives who have researched Christianity in depth, and at the end, have gone from atheist to Christian, because of the evidence for God, Jesus and the Resurrection. A lot are from non Biblical resources. So you have things outside the Bible and inside the Bible & history.
Sone noted above are Mr. Wallace, Lee Strobel, and even Sir. Lionel Luckhoo, (He was the The world's greatest defense attorney, and is in the guiness world records for it, he also became a member of the Supreme Court of UK). He said "I say unequivocally that the evidence for Jesus Christ is so overwhelming that it compels acceptance by proof which leaves absolutely no room for doubt."
Investigate and find the truth. And don't stop until you fully investigate the unbiased evidence & facts. Eternity is riding on this. Death comes any day, to anyone. So make sure you have the right answers. Investigate to get them, before it's too late.
Investigation begins here π§π
