I attend a "Young Marrieds" group through my church, and for the past few weeks we've been studying apologetics. While it can be quite intellectually heavy at times, a very profound thought was recently brought up:
Nothing truly important is provable.
You can gather evidence and make arguments, but nothing truly worthwhile can be proven with 100% accuracy. Yes, we can prove that 1 +1=2. Yes, we can prove that a day is 24 hours. But can you prove that someone loves you? Can you prove that you're right in a moral debate?
At some point, all of life's most important questions take a leap of faith. We can have sound arguments and a plethora of evidence to support our point of view, however, when it comes down to taking that last essential step, you just have to believe.
"And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him." --Hebrews 11:6
