We believe there are clear reasons to trust in God’s existence. Think of these as three powerful observations about life:
Look closely at the world—it shows incredible care, complexity, and order. Scientists may debate how it started, but this kind of beautiful, intentional design strongly suggests an Intelligent Creator.
The leap from basic chemistry to complex, self-replicating life is staggering. The intricate programming and information needed to create even a single living cell defies the idea of mere random chance.
It's like seeing a beautifully engineered solution; you know it didn't just happen by chance. We believe that level of intentionality points directly to God.
Every single person has an inner compass—a deep sense of right and wrong. We know when we or others are being treated unfairly.
We have a powerful capacity for compassion—caring for the vulnerable, even when it gives us no advantage. This instinct to help the least powerful suggests a divine quality in humanity that moves far beyond just survival of the fittest.
This built-in conscience cannot be fully explained away by biology. We believe this moral code is God's label on you, declaring that you are valuable and made to know justice.
It feels fundamentally wrong when life ends. We naturally resist death and crave continuation.
This deep desire for more than this life isn't accidental. Sociologists call this feeling the 'rumour of transcendence'—a universal human intuition that life and meaning extend beyond what we can physically measure.
The Bible says God placed a sense of eternity in our hearts, suggesting we were designed for a permanent relationship with him in a place of lasting peace (Heaven).
Jesus is not a myth; he is a historical figure whose life changed the world.
He Was Real: Jesus’s existence is a settled historical fact, confirmed by non-Christian writers of the time. Think of it this way: historians like Josephus (Jewish) and Tacitus (Roman) documented his life and execution. We actually have more evidence, and evidence closer to the time of the events, for Jesus than for other well-known figures like Alexander the Great. He lived 2,000 years ago in the Roman province of Judea.
His Bold Claim: Jesus wasn't just a kind person or a motivational speaker. He made the most radical claim possible: he said he was the Son of God. In that culture, this was understood as a direct claim to divinity—that he was God in human form. He alone claimed the authority to forgive the things that burden us, and he declared he was the only path back to God.
The Choice: If someone makes a claim that big, they are either delusional, intentionally deceiving people, or they are speaking the truth. Since his teachings are recognised globally as the purest ethical guidance ever given, and he performed incredible acts of healing, the evidence strongly suggests he was precisely who he claimed to be: God's Son.
Jesus came to earth for one primary reason: to offer you a fresh start and restore the Kingdom relationship.
The Weight We Carry: The deepest problem isn't just the mistakes we make (the symptoms). The Bible defines sin as the root issue: humanity collectively chose to reject God's loving authority over life—His rightful place as King. This rejection means we walked away from our true identity as His image-bearers, creating a fundamental separation between us and a perfect God. This weight of rejection and its consequences burdens us with guilt and isolation.
The Exchange: Jesus lived a perfect life, fully embodying God's Kingdom on earth. When he died on the cross, he willingly took the full consequence of that separation, dealing with the root issue of sin completely.
The Outcome: Forgiveness & Restoration: Because of this act, the separation is overcome. You can exchange the heavy burden of sin for Jesus' perfect record and step back into your true identity as God's beloved image-bearer. It’s an amazing, life-changing exchange, given to us purely out of God’s love and grace. This sacrifice lets you step out of isolation and into a restored relationship with God and His original purpose for you.
Jesus' promise to rise from the dead confirms everything he claimed.
He Predicted It: Jesus’s death and resurrection wasn't a sudden event—it was the fulfilment of promises made centuries earlier in the Old Testament. Jesus told his followers exactly how he would die and that he would come back to life on the third day.
The Proof: The empty tomb was a massive problem for the authorities. It was heavily guarded by elite Roman soldiers, and the entrance was secured with a Roman seal—breaking it was an act of treason. Yet, the body vanished and was never recovered. More importantly, for 40 days, Jesus repeatedly appeared to his followers—including one occasion where over 500 people saw him at once. They didn't just glimpse him; they spoke with him, ate meals with him, and confirmed he was truly resurrected.
The Change in People: His followers went from being terrified and hiding to becoming fearless people who risked their lives to share his story. The ultimate proof of their conviction is this: all but one of the original disciples were martyred (killed) because they refused to deny the resurrection. They would never have done that for a lie. The resurrection proves that Jesus beat death, confirming his identity as the Son of God and validating his promise of eternal life for us.
This is one of the hardest questions we face, and it requires an honest answer.
The Origin of Pain: Suffering, illness, and injustice are not part of God’s original design. We believe that when humanity rejected God’s sovereignty (sin, as discussed in Section 3), we introduced brokenness into the world. This brokenness is the source of pain—it is not God’s will, but the consequence of life lived outside His loving rule.
God Entered the Pain: God didn't stand apart from our suffering. He showed His compassion by entering it directly through Jesus Christ. Jesus faced rejection, poverty, betrayal, and physical agony on the cross. This means that God understands your pain completely and is with you in it.
The Promise of End: We hold onto the certain hope that this pain is temporary. This current time is one of tension: the Kingdom of God has arrived in Jesus, but it is not yet fully established. Jesus spoke of this tension like the Parable of the Wheat and Weeds (Matthew 13:24-30)—if He were to pull out everything that causes suffering right now, we would all be uprooted. He lovingly holds this tension until His return. The Bible promises that a time is coming (Revelation 21:4) when God Himself will permanently wipe away every tear and end all suffering and injustice. Until then, the Christian faith calls us to embody His love by standing with and caring for those who are suffering right now.
