“Unless you people see signs and wonders, you will by no means believe" (John 4:48)
Sinners can see miracles, and deny their significance, but if God’s got your number, it’s just a matter of time before you’ll submit to Him as your Lord and Savior. “All that the Father gives Me will come to Me, and the one who comes to Me I will by no means cast out” (John 6:35). The trick is to submit to Him before He has to drag you kicking and screaming, like me.
I challenge you, look for evidence that God supernaturally changes lives. I’ll be honest with you, when I was deep in sin, I didn’t want proof God was real. I had to learn the hard way, I was the most disgusting creature God ever made. By the time I was ready to look up, I knew without a doubt, without God, I would keep destroying the lives of people that cared for me. Then, God orchestrated several “coincidences” that were statistically impossible, but to me, I saw them for what they were … miracles. Hopefully, you won’t have to hit rock bottom and see God work a miracle before you finally repent.
If you have any doubt that Christ is real, I challenge you to ask around and find a church that preaches and lives the Gospel. I guarantee, if there are real Christians there (and there should be), you’ll find people who were once considered the scum of the Earth, addicted to all kinds of things, now living productive lives. When Christ gets ahold of you, you’ll change too. Do you crave signs and wonders? Ask the pastor to point out the people in his church who were the dregs of society. In some churches, it’s the guy that does all the dirty work because he’s so thankful to be of use.
Yes, there are hypocrites in church too. Someday, they too might get saved and have a story to tell. The point is, if you want to witness a sign and wonder, just go to any church where the Gospel is preached and lived, and ask for a witness. |
