       Third, I believe in God because he is correct in what he says about morality. He prohibits the right things and permits the right things. What he says makes good, logical sense. Paul told Timothy: “Now we know that the law is good, if one uses it lawfully, understanding this, that the law is not laid down for the just but for the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly and sinners, for the unholy and profane, for those who strike their fathers and mothers, for murderers, the sexually immoral, men who practice homosexuality, enslavers, liars, perjurers, and whatever else is contrary to sound doctrine, in accordance with the gospel of the glory of the blessed God with which I have been entrusted” (1 Timothy 1:8-11, ESV). But really, besides of all this, I believe in Jesus Christ as God because when he opened my eyes, some 14 years ago now, I could see what a lot of others couldn't. I saw how he changed me from the moment I believed and was saved from my sins by trusting in his sacrifice on the cross. I now saw many things the way he sees them, even though there was much learning still yet that needed to be done. But I understood he was God, and I understood my need for him.
