One man asked another man, “Are you a Christian?” The man answered, “Well, I believe I am.” “Then you believe in God?” The Christian answered, “Yes, and why do you ask?” These two men had known each other for a long time. The man asking the questions then asked, “If God is real, would He not want people to know Him so that our lives are changed by knowing Him?” The man slowly answered, “….yes.” Then the man said, “Well your life is exactly like mine, doing the things that I do and saying the things that I say. BUT, I don’t believe in God!”
The man being asked the questions walked away in deep thought about his life, and he cried out to God, “God, if you are real, would you work in my life so that I show that I believe in You?” And then the man began to read and study his Bible from beginning to end so that he could know God; the Bible he had since he was a child that his mother gave him, but had never read…..until now.
