Since none of us is perfect and knows all, it is helpful to consider that, in our attempts to understand each other.

So, I likewise have trouble understanding why others don’t believe in God as I do because of the way I have experienced the truth of His Word. So much just seems obvious. But then I remember that I didn’t always feel this way. And I don’t know that I’ve done anything to change my understanding apart from choosing to believe in God. From there, He has done it all.

One way I see it is because we are spiritual as well as physical beings we experience consequences of both. As a result of that dichotomy our brains are challenged to make sense of our “senses”. And the primary difficulty, imo, is reckoning with and/or believing that we do have a spiritual side that also feeds our minds, results in emotions and actions accordingly. The biggest challenge then just might be the “ faith fact” and how it seems to attack our materialistic education and understanding:

Our materialistic minds say “ show me and I just might believe”, but God says, “ believe and I’ll show you.”. That kind of submission
doesn’t come easy. I have always been amazed at the fact that it’s a choice we’ve been given, nothing forced about it.

But it is totally about a lifestyle, not just a “Sunday sit and soak”, cultural habit. This, however, is the debased view that so many experience or have because that is their frame of reference, not God’s Word. The Bible says that faith comes by hearing God’s Word.

In this crazy world we’re experiencing now it’s no surprise that so many young people are looking for peace, for understanding and a sense of purpose and are returning to church or going for the first time. At the same time evil, too, is intensifying. Life is a spiritual battle. The weapons in that battle are not material.
