Many years ago a knight decided to see if there were a God. He put on his coat of armor and went out into a field. There he threw his gloves down on the ground. (That was what the knights used to do when they challenged another knight to fight.) Looking up at the sky he called in a loud voice, “If there is a God, I call Him to fight against me with His power and might!”
The knight stood looking around waiting for an answer. A gust of wind blew a small piece of paper towards him, and it landed at his feet. He picked it up and found writing on it. The writing said, “God is love.”
When the knight read these words he knew that this was his answer from heaven. This verse from God’s Word, the Bible, made him see how small and unworthy he was before God. He knelt down and called upon God to save him.
“For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” John 3:16.
