Faith isn't something that can be proven scientifically, as it relates to the spiritual realm rather than the physical. Believers experience that the “proof” is in their actual personal experience and relationship with God. I understand that may not make sense if someone hasn’t had that experience, but for believers it isn’t about proving the spiritual world or their faith—it’s about living it. Faith is understood as trust in God, whom I have found keeps all His promises, and operates outside the scope of scientific investigation, since this involves the spiritual world.
Faith is quite the opposite from belief without evidence, and though some cannot understand that perhaps, that doesn't make faith or God, any less valid. Faith is defined as a deep, committed trust in God’s faithfulness and promises, often described as “the evidence of things not seen”. In the Bible, it is described as what I've experienced: Upon receiving Jesus as my personal Savior, I received the Holy Spirit, as promised in His Word, which in turn, completely transformed my life for the good. That was in 1973 that I accepted Jesus as my Savior. I have never been sorry. I have seen many other lives transformed this way, as promised in God's Word. I respect that you may see it differently, and I’m not trying to convince you—just sharing what it has meant in my life.
