Careful Investigation is Encouraged
There is nothing wrong with being cautious and careful when it comes to eternal matters. Indeed there is much in the world that we should be skeptical about. We should not be gullible. There is far too much superstition and ignorance in the world. We should carefully investigate and establish what the facts are. We need to have the courage to face the facts.
Faith in Facts
Christianity does not require one to make a blind leap into the dark. False religions require blind faith. Christianity is an intelligent step into the light, in response to facts. We do not promote faith in faith, but faith in facts. It is not the amount of faith you have, but in where you place your faith.
The Testimony of Thomas
Thomas declared: “Unless I see in His hands the print of the nails and put my finger into the print of the nails and put my hand into His side, I will not believe.” John 20:25. So, when Thomas was confronted with the risen Lord Jesus, he dedicated the rest of his life to proclaiming the truth of the Resurrected Messiah. Thomas died establishing churches in India. The Bar Thomas churches in India remain to this day.
