Faith based on evidence.
Hebrews 11:1 Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see.

I never seen Jesus rise again, but I have faith based on what the bible narrative says he did rise again, it's something I hope in and have faith in, that all will be raised again because of him.

Did no one see and interact with Jesus after God resurrected him?

I place my faith and hope on the evidences founded in the bible it be true, but I have no actual evidence. I can present to some atheist, that doesn't believe... that is where our ties come to a knot.

You can't prove anything to an atheist they have to make the choice to believe, faithfully... you can't just say here is the bible that is my evidence, because what we believe and find in there is based on beliving it in the first place.

You contradicted yourself.

God made the evidences of earth to see, that he exists, in the end @Matthias.

But we still have faith in a God we never seen. There is no way we can pull God down to show himself.

Therefore we are living a faithfully based life, on assurences of what God has made, never seening him.

God and evidence of God. Both exist. Man is without excuse.

We’ve seen God in Messiah Jesus, who is the exact image of God.

You don't seem to understand that those are just faith based comments, which you come to a conclusion to through the evidences presented in the bible. Or I am just ignorant.

I'm glad you are a person of faith, that is wonderful man.

Not everyone is. Faith is what is the key to pleasing God, there is no way to please God but by faith.

Here is what the evidences from the letter of Hebrews says,

Hebrews 11:6 And it is impossible to please God without faith. Anyone who wants to come to him must believe that God exists and that he rewards those who sincerely seek him.


I guess we can be certain there is nothing else that pleases God, in this matter.

Hebrews 13:15-16 New International Version (NIV)Through Jesus, therefore, let us continually offer to God a sacrifice of praise—the fruit of lips that openly profess his name. And do not forget to do good and to share with others, for with such sacrifices God is pleased.

Another way that God is pleased.
