About This Quote

Faith in the Bible is a matter of connecting experientially and substantively with the person of Truth, Jesus. Let’s say that you have a friend who has been experiencing incredible success in their career. You get to know them better and discover that their career is not what you thought it was. You do not believe them when they tell you that things are not what you think.

The Bible says that it is okay to be wrong, but only if the person telling you the truth can prove it to you. There are many people who tell me things about myself or others that I don’t believe. Because I do not believe them, I can say, “I am sorry, I do not believe you.” This means that I do not trust their experience to be true.
