Faith is proof because God gives you supernatural faith when He speaks to you. What God says to you is true. All physical and natural evidence is circumstantial, so it can’t show you the truth. Circumstantial evidence uses rationalizations. Rationalizations use assumptions. Assumptions are beliefs based on nothing but inner concepts and worldviews. You created your inner concepts and worldviews with circular reasoning and confirmation bias. You can’t trust them. That means you can’t trust circumstantial evidence.

You can trust God. God is absolute.

Faith is also a fruit of the Spirit. That fruit sprouted up in you by grace, which was through faith, which came when God spoke to you. God also gives a special gift of faith to some. This gift of faith operates in them only at the command of God. These people with the gift of faith aren’t free to direct this faith as they want.

Faith by Hearing

If faith comes as a fruit of the Spirit, it comes by hearing. If faith comes as a gift of the Spirit, it comes by hearing. The faith to be born again comes by hearing. Any faith you have comes by hearing God leading, teaching, or correcting you. God can speak to you through the Bible. As God speaks through the Bible, He tells you about many of the other ways He speaks to you. No matter how God speaks to you, God’s faith will come if you listen.

Satan will try to convince you that faith is something faith is not. Satan will say faith is belief WITHOUT evidence when faith IS the evidence. Satan will say faith is belief BASED ON evidence when faith IS the evidence.

Satan will try to convince you that you can get faith some other way. Satan doesn’t want you listening to God’s voice in willing submission and deep respect. Satan will say you have to do works of piety to get faith. Satan will try to get you to use your intellect, emotion, knowledge, observation, common sense, or something else to get faith. None of that works.

Satan will say faith is belief, but you have to presuppose God exists, and you have to presuppose the Bible is God’s word without error. You don’t have to presuppose anything. God reveals He exists. He makes it so plain to you that you know by divine revelation. The same for the Bible. God shows you the Bible is His word without error. You don’t have to presuppose God’s revelation or figure it out.
