Every great discovery I ever made, I gambled that the truth was there, and then I acted in faith until I could prove its existence.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I discovered what it meant to 'live for Christ,' and that it honestly was something I wanted to do. The facts were there, and I could sense the Holy Spirit at work.
The great quest of life has always been to discover truth.
I proved to myself that if I believe in something and set my mind to it I could actually accomplish it.
With time, many of the facts I learned were forgotten but I never lost the excitement of discovery.
I believe that I have always told the truth.
I believed in God my whole life.
I came to trust in Jesus as my Savior after a two-year personal study of the Bible that convinced me that Scripture is free of contradiction and error - doctrinally, historically, and scientifically.
God surrounded me with people of faith, people of strong faith, people of power, spiritual power, and I saw little miracles happen in their lives. By it happening in their lives, I started believing it could happen to me.
Belief is a wise wager. Granted that faith cannot be proved, what harm will come to you if you gamble on its truth and it proves false? If you gain, you gain all; if you lose, you lose nothing. Wager, then, without hesitation, that He exists.
I refused to accept anything, doubted everything. So, doubting everything, I had to find something that had not existed before, something I had not thought of before. Any idea that came to me, the thing would be to turn it around and try to see it with another set of senses.
