Who are you going to believe?

If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater; for this is the witness of God which He has testified of His Son. – 1 John 5v9

Did you ever notice that we seem to never agree with the world? For example, in theme with yesterday’s thoughts, the world says that young people are going to have sex so let’s just keep them safe. God says that sex is for marriage. The world says that we ought to live for number one. God agrees, but He is Number One. The world says that all ‘religions’ are the same – God says that Jesus is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. God and the world just never agree.

So who are we going to believe? The answer is simple; whichever one has the best witness. God knows everything – the world is limited to its flawed human logic. God is all powerful – the world is limited by its weaknesses and frailties. God is everywhere at all times – the world is limited by where and when we are.

Which witness are we going to believe? If we were in a courtroom as jurors and the two conflicting witnesses were God and man which one would be more reliable, credible, and trustworthy?

We have God’s witness in the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Man’s witness is a history of conflicts, wars, slavery, and violence.

Who are we going to trust?
