We've all heard the saying, "SEEING IS BELIEVING." But God says believing is seeing. The saying is familiar enough, yet just as real is the truth that the man who believes shall see. In the things of God there must be faith. The man or woman who trusts shall know. Faith always results in vision.
You say you will not believe until you see. You say, "Show me—give me a sign, and I will believe." God says, "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). Not to take God at His word will be your eternal ruin.
"He that believeth not God hath made Him a liar; because he believeth not the record that God gave of His Son." 1 John 5:1010He 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). God is the eternal GOD, the Creator of all things; not to believe Him is a fatal mistake.
But you say, "I must have some experience of Christ before I can believe." Definitely not. Before there can be a definite knowledge of Christ you must have to do with God about your sins. Sin is against God and must be dealt with. Accept His condemnation and believe His great work on your behalf.
As surely as you do this you will receive the salvation of God. To prove the truth of the gospel, you must try it for yourself. Christianity is a life and that 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 dare to trifle with the living God and His remedy for your sinful state?
