Isn’t faith just believing without evidence?
In the Bible, faith isn’t believing something despite the evidence. It’s trusting someone because of good reasons, the way you trust a friend you’ve come to know.
John says he wrote his Gospel “that you may believe” — he gives evidence. The Bereans in Acts “examined the Scriptures daily” to check what Paul said. Christianity invites questions.
Everyone lives by some kind of faith. The question is whether what we trust is worthy of it.
From the Bible
30Therefore Jesus did many other signs in the presence of his disciples, which are not written in this book; 31but these are written, that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing you may have life in his name.
John 20:30–31
Now these were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, examining the Scriptures daily to see whether these things were so.
Acts 17:11
