We are believers in the story of Christ because of the eyewitness, written accounts, of dozens of people who were there at the time and because of the consistency of their reports.  We do not walk blindly into faith.  Although that will work because it is faith in Christ that saves.   We base our faith on the collection of letters and stories of Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Paul, Peter, James and Jude, to name a few.  If we were in a court of law, the case would be settled by their testimony.  Although separated by time and space, their stories mesh perfectly with each other.

Not to mention the dozens and dozens of prophecies that were written in the Old Testament that were fulfilled in the life of Jesus.  I have mentioned before that it would be statistically impossible for all of those prophecies to be fulfilled in one man--but they were.  In Jesus.  He hit every point.  That alone should be enough to make a believer out of you.

But the world makes fun of us as if we are stupid.  They think we believe in fairy stories.  That's because they have never read the books in the Bible.  People will read and accept almost anything.  But the most important written account in the history of the world is seldom read.  Even by Christians.  We must read it.  Our lives depend on it.

John wrote:  "That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled of the Word of life;" 1 John 1

Peter wrote: "For we have not followed cunningly devised fables...this voice which came from heaven, we heard, when we were with him in the holy mount.  For the prophecy came in old time not by the will of man, but holy men of God spoke as they were moved by the Holy Ghost." 2Peter 16a, 18, 21.

We believe the story of Christ.  We believe in Him.  He is our salvation.
