Pursuing belief, miracles, stumbling blocks & Faith

Q: I have been on the fence but actively pursuing God about what I’m believing. Do you think to believe in God and yet believe that a lot of the events that happen back then are illogical? Today we don’t see people coming back from the dead, we don’t see fish feeding 5000 people coming from enough for two, etc. Just because those things don’t happen today doesn’t mean that they didn’t. 

It’s just hard to wrap my mind around as it is illogical by today’s standards. Hopefully that makes sense. I’ve been working on belief for a long time and figuring out what I believe and praying about it, but I’m still not sure anybody really hears me when I pray. I am working on these thoughts. Guidance appreciated. 

A: Illogical to the unsavrd. BybthatvI kean in general, things from a unsaved persons mind, based on their presupposition, being educated in a atheistic school system, and only focused on the unregenerate mind, being unsaved... man would focus on his foolish intellect and believe the wicked preferences in his heart, over the truth, since he is blind to it. 

Once saved, God reveals all in His authoritative, truth, the Word; the Bible. The areas that are narriative, historical truths, are easy to believe. Those things happened. And God guides us into truth by it.

Embrace the Gospel, and go from there. Once saved, God hears your prayers, you'll be discipled at church in the Word, and the Holy Spirit will teach you, and lead you into truth, by it.

It is a reasonable Faith, with evidence, not blind faith. It is a trusting faith thats based on the evidence which makes it reasonable. Including the below evidence. So, you're belief can be solidified. By these things, and become unshakable. 

The miracles Jesus performed, were to prove He is God, (forgives sin, is the Savior, etc). We also experience the miracle of salvation. Not a feeling, actual proof. We can quantify that for someone else - they can see it true, the believer shows it's real. We believers & the unsaved can "see" a *radical transformation* that happened to those born again. So there is real proof. Not just the inner person having some religious belief and holding to it in a personal way, unseen by outside [I dont mean like all other religions that do things outwardly, i mean a drastic total change of the person that only God can do, to the inner man]. This change is clearly seen... this is a "new creation" God made 😊✨️. It can't but be seen, their whole life has changed, cuz God gave them spiritual life. 

These people died to their sins and rose again to new life in Christ. These miracles indeed are happening today, but it is on a spiritual level. 

Miracles in Bible times were for unbelieving Jews who always wanted a sign, and God got tired of their unbelief even by those, so Jesus said there will be no other sign than the sign of Jonah; Jesus sacrificial death fulfilled that- 3 days dead then he would resurrect. And He did. 

Today These spiritual resurrection still take place in living human believers, like the caterpillar to the butterfly. And while it is spiritual today, radical transformation is clearly seen.

May you experience this, today.
