Have you given any thought as to why you believe what you do about Jesus? Is it only because your mom told you it was right? Or maybe you believe because of what your youth pastor preaches each week.
And it’s great if you believe something because it’s what your parents or another leader believes. However, there will come a time in your life if it hasn’t already where your faith will be questioned. Someone will show up and give a really good argument for something other than Jesus, and you might find that your faith is shaken.
Then we will no longer be immature like children. We won’t be tossed and blown about by every wind of new teaching. We will not be influenced when people try to trick us with lies so clever they sound like the truth. – Ephesians 4:14 (NLT)
Many of the things people say in the world make a lot of sense and sound like truth. However, those things that sound so good are not always truth. If you’re not going to lose your faith when someone says something convincing, then you’re going to need to know what you believe and why you believe it.
