Just what is faith? Is it a blind leap into the unknown, a course of action that flies in the face of evidences that seems to indicate that it is an unreasonable course of action? No. Faith in Jesus Christ is not built upon fallacies but reasonable and cognizant conclusions that Jesus is indeed the Son of God. He fulfills the prophecies of Scripture with such precision as to leave no doubt. He did die on the cross as taught not just in Scripture, but recorded by secular as well as Christian historians, both modern and ancient. In the Bible record, Jesus predicted his resurrection following His crucifixion. The witness of the Bible states that this happened. Secular historians also record that an event took place that shook the world and caused the rapid expansion of Christianity. Faith is a commitment placed in something or someone. It is a trust. We come to place faith when we believe that we have enough upon which to place that trust in a thing or in a person. The evidences concerning Jesus are such that many an agnostic and atheist, upon a fair and thorough examination of the facts and evidences; comes to conclude that Jesus is all the Bible says He is and all He claimed to be. He is Lord!
