For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to everyone that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. Romans 1:16

Do you sometimes question what you believe in? I have the privilege of being raised in a Christian home, however I had to develop my own relationship with God in order to take me through some of life’s sudden turns. If you were asked this question ‘Why believe in a God?’ what would be your response?

Well firstly I noted the subtle article ‘a’ which appears before the word God – why believe in a God has an altogether different tone to ‘why believe in God’ as the bible tells us that there is only one true God.

For though there be that are called gods, whether in heaven or in earth, (as there be gods many, and lords many,) but to us there is but one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we in him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we by him. 1 Corinthians 8:5-6

When posed with this question amongst other as many as 10,000 people left the Church of Denmark between April and June, statistics from the Scandinavian country have shown, due in part to a nationwide atheist campaign urging people to question the divinity of Jesus, and the importance of believing in God.

The Independent noted that the 10,000 people who left the faith in that time period is almost double the number who did the same between January and March, which has led the Danish Atheist Society to celebrate the news. Wow, now that is a lot of people isn’t it? Read the full story here.

Friends we really have to know what we believe and in whom we believe.

And the Lord said, Simon, Simon, behold, Satan hath desired to have you, that he may sift you as wheat: 32 but I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not: and when thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren. Luke 22:31-32

We do not want to be sifted like wheat!
