"Faith is not belief without proof, but trust without reservations."

--Elton Trueblood

A skeptic writes that he needs some proof to believe the claims of Christ:

"It is hard to sell something that hasn't been seen. Seeing is believing and a picture is worth a thousand words."

Jesus answers in Matthew 12:39-40:

An evil and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given to it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas:

For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale's belly; so shall the Son of man be three days, and three nights in the heart of the earth.

Jesus rose from the dead--it's the only sign you'll get as an unbeliever.

Unbeliever, there is a limit to what you can understand right now because you are unregenerate and in your sins (I Corinthians 2:14). The wrath of a holy God abideth upon you (John 3:36) and the gates of hell want you there for eternal destruction. Oh, open your eyes and see! Jesus is good and kind and came from His dwelling place on high to succour you from that torment.

You need to turn from your sins and say "Yes" to your Creator, Jesus Christ (Colossians 1:16), for whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shalt be saved (Romans 10:9, 13). He left His throne on High to die--FOR YOU. Be washed in His blood. Be cleansed. Come to Jesus and get some rest. Be born again. God will be your Father and you will have a good understanding as you walk with Him. His Holy Spirit will guide and lead you through this life and for all eternity.

Jesus is everything that can be desired and all that any sane person could want--and more. The Lily of the Valley, the Everlasting God, the Eternal Word, Succourer, Saviour, Creator, Protector, Lord. Every knee shall bow and every tongue shall confess that Jesus Christ is Lord--that includes Satan, every devil, every false religious follower, every secular humanist, and every scoffer as well as those of us who will be shouting "Glory, Hallelujah! Blessed be the Name of the Lord!"

If you don't repent you will perish. That is a sure thing. It is most sure. God has been merciful to you and let you live another day to repent. Please don't die without Jesus.
