This is why
The Apostle Paul wrote,
“For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing,
but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.”
1 Corinthians 1:18.
There are many in our world who look at the New Testament and see it as unbelievable. Many who call its message foolishness. Why after all would God enter the world He created in the form of Christ Jesus only to die on a Roman cross? It doesn’t seem logical. But it’s what Christians believe.
My answer is simple God does not do things mans way.
God asks all who see the life of Jesus, His death, His resurrection and His ascension to heaven, to accept this by faith.
In the book of Hebrews we read,
“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.
The key word in Hebrews 11:6 being faith.
Faith for many people is very difficult. Faith according to the writer of Hebrews is,
“Now faith is being sure of what we hope for
and
certain of what we do not see.”
Hebrews 11:1.
I believe when someone has true faith in something they will continue to believe in it even to the point of death and beyond.
This is why I believe God asks us to have faith in the message of the cross.
Please think about it.
