Core Truth: It’s been said that a person with a theory is always at the mercy of a person with an experience, and it is fair to say that there are some things in life that we as Christians should know what we’re talking about! It is the Christian who can answer such important questions as: “Why are we here? Where are we going when we die? And, is there really any hope or meaning in this present world?” It is the Christian who can “speak what we do know;” all else is mere theory and conjecture.
Scripture: John 3:9-11
Nicodemus said to Him, ‘How can these things be possible?’ Jesus replied, ‘You are the great and well-known teacher of Israel, and yet you do not know nor understand these things form Scripture? I assure you and most solemnly say to you, we speak what we do know and testify about what we have actually seen; and still you reject our evidence and do not accept our testimony. If I told you earthly things [that is, things that happen right here on earth] and you do not believe, how will you believe and trust Me if I tell you heavenly things?’
