The world says, "SEEING IS BELIEVING." God says believing is seeing. The world's maxim is familiar enough; yet just as real is the truth that the man who believes shall see. Faith always results in vision. The man who trusts shall know.
Unsaved reader, you are making a fatal mistake, a mistake which will work your eternal ruin. You say you will not believe until you see. You say, "Show me —give me a sign, and I will believe." God says, "Come to Me by faith now, and you will have the witness in yourself." "He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in himself." 1 John 5:1010He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in himself: he that believeth not God hath made him a liar; because he believeth not the record that God gave of his Son. (1 John 5:10).
You say you must have some experience of Christ before you will believe in Christ. But know this: you will have a definite knowledge of Christ just as soon as you exercise a definite faith in Christ. You will never have it before.
When you believe, the light will come. Have a definite transaction with the Lord about your sins. Accept His condemnation and believe His great work on Calvary in your behalf. As surely, as you do this you will definitely receive and know the salvation of God. To prove the truth of the gospel is to try it for yourself. Christianity is a life, and a life cannot be understood by one who does not possess it, The doctor says to the patient, "Here is a medicine that will cure you." The patient replies, "I will take it as soon as I feel it is curing me." Will you thus dare trifle with the living God and His remedy for your sinful state?
How often does a desire for signs and wonders, proofs and evidences, conceal an evil heart of unbelief! Men who do not WANT to believe the truth, clamor for evidences that will satisfy their own prejudices. The seat of unbelief is the HEART. The WILL refuses to be subject to God. The Lord. Jesus Christ said to the unbelieving Jews, "Ye WILL NOT come to Me, that ye might have life." John 5:4040And ye will not come to me, that ye might have life. (John 5:40).
Dear lost soul, you do not believe because you will not; and until you first come to God with a broken will, believing that GOD IS, He cannot reveal Himself to you.
