To believe in God is to believe by faith, which is to believe in things not seen.
By faith, I believe God created Adam out of the dust of the earth, even though I was not there to watch Adam stand up and walk, for it is written:
And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life: and man became a living soul. (Genesis 2: 7)
By faith, I believe God created in Adam the capacity to understand the language of God and thereby know the voice of God, even though Adam did not see God with his eyes; for after Adam and Eve disobeyed God in the garden of Eden, it is written:
And they heard the voice of the LORD God walking in the garden in the cool of the day: and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the LORD God amongst the trees of the garden. (Genesis 3: 8)
By faith, I believe the rain of Noah's flood was not from clouds, for even before God created Adam, it is written:
for the LORD God had not caused it to rain upon the earth, and there was not a man to till the ground. But there went up a mist from the earth, and watered the whole face of the ground. (Genesis 2: 5-6)
By faith, I believe that precious stones---the sardius, topaz, diamond, beryl, onyx, jasper, emerald, carbuncle, gold---came from above after the LORD God created dry land on the earth.
By faith, I believe in the birth, life, death, resurrection, and ascension of Jesus Christ even though I was not there to see all of these events; and, likewise, I believe by faith that Christ will return to earth because I believe in His words, as they are written in the Bible.
And because I believe by faith that the Bible is the Word of God, from the mind of God, I believe the Bible is the voicemail of God: sent to us through men whom God chose to receive and write His words on paper, so that we can know God from reading His Word, for it is written:
Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. (Hebrews 11: 1)
