This book is all about God and His son Jesus Christ. Before we can delve into anything relating to God, we need to first decide if He even exists. Many atheists in the world simply cannot believe in the existence of an all-powerful creator God, who brought all things into existence simply by the power of His word. Then there are millions of Christians who, by faith, believe in God.
So the first question we need to address is. Can we prove He exists?
This is a question without an exact answer. It is easy for someone to declare God does not exist, but it is impossible to prove it. Conversely, for those who believe in God, there is much evidence of His existence.
The whole point of this is, Christians who believe in God do so by faith because of two main reasons. First, there is the creation itself, which speaks of a designer because of its complexity, wonders, and laws that keep the entire universe operating the way it does. Then we have the written word of God, His holy bible.
Regardless of what you believe, Jesus Christ is the most influential person in all of human history. Our modern calendars all start from the date of His birth, even though there is some discrepancy about the exact year of His birth.
Those people who do not believe Jesus even existed have a great deal of historical proof to disprove. Apart from what is recorded for us in the bible, there is a large amount of information in non-religious writings that mention Jesus as a real person. The Jewish leaders have always acknowledged that Jesus was a real person. They just refused to accept him as their Messiah. Even the Muslims who hate both Jews and Christians believe he lived. But again, they only see him as a prophet and not as God.
I will not try to persuade you that Jesus exists. There is sufficient evidence in the world to prove that approximately 2000 years ago there was a man who claimed to be the son of God, and his man was Jesus. There are many miracles he performed that could only have happened if he had the power of God. Either you are a believer or you are not. There is no half-right or half-wrong with His existence. So I will assume you are seeking proof to reinforce your beliefs.
If you believe in God, then the rest is easy. Just believe what He will reveal about Himself in his amazing book, "The Bible". And then look at His incredible handy work in the way he created: the plants, animals, insects, birds, and the vast array of living things.
If you believe in evolution. Then there are many things you must prove, beyond any shadow of a doubt, that will back up what you believe. As more science is revealing a Creator caused our existence, then the theory of evolution is becoming more difficult to prove every day.
There is no way our human DNA could have evolved. It is just too complex to be an accident of evolution.
So now, let us establish who Jesus Christ is. To do this, I will look into God's holy scriptures for an answer in the book of John. In the first eighteen verses of this book, we get a wonderful description of Jesus and just why we believe him to be the Messiah. Or the Son Of God.
