BLIND FAITH AND TRUE REASON
And they say that we take things on blind faith. They tell us that Christians believe without thinking; that we hold to a hope without evidence; that we walk into the light with our eyes shut. Yet the same voices assure us that everything came from nothing—absolute nothing. Not a spark. Not a cause. Not a mind. Not a word. Nothing produced everything. Chaos produced order. Emptiness gave birth to meaning. And somehow that is supposed to be the reasonable position.
The Bible speaks differently. “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth” (Genesis 1:1). A personal God. An eternal God. A God who speaks, who wills, who moves, who forms. The universe is not an accident; it is an act. The creation is not a cosmic fluke; it is the overflow of the living God who said, “Let there be light” (Genesis 1:3). And light was. Order was. Beauty was.
What is truly blind—what is truly unreasonable—is to believe that design wrote itself, that life rose from lifelessness, that intelligence grew out of ignorance. We do not close our eyes when we believe in God; we open them. The heavens declare His glory. The earth is full of His handiwork. The conscience whispers His law. The Scriptures reveal His heart. The cross displays His love. The resurrection declares His victory. This is not blind faith—this is faith grounded in truth, evidence, and the witness of the Spirit.
Our trust in God is not a leap into darkness; it is a step into the light. “The entrance of Your words gives light; it gives understanding to the simple” (Psalm 119:130). We confess that God is the cause, the Creator, the One who was and is and is to come. They may say we are the ones walking blindly, but it is the believer who sees the world as it truly is: created, sustained, and redeemed by the hand of the Lord.
Let them say what they will. We will keep confessing what is infinitely more rational, beautiful, and hopeful—that everything came from Someone; that life came from the Living God; that truth has a foundation; that love has a source; that meaning has a Maker.
And that Maker stepped into His own creation to save us.
Lord Jesus, open our eyes to see Your hand in all things. Strengthen our faith; deepen our understanding; draw us near to Your light. Let our confidence rest in Your truth, and let our lives bear witness to Your wisdom and grace. Amen.
