I sometimes wonder if unbelievers, nonbelievers, and atheists genuinely seek to know if there is a God, even if it means admitting they were wrong.

Engaging in discussions with those who do not believe in God can be quite challenging. A primary difficulty often arises from the defensiveness of the unbeliever, who may perceive us Christians as rigid and closed-minded, feeling that we are not open to their perspectives.

I understand this viewpoint, but what are we as Christians supposed to do? When we are born again, God reveals Himself to us spiritually, much like falling in love. Even if we don’t fully grasp the nature of love at first, experiencing it firsthand makes it undeniable. Similarly, our belief in God remains steadfast even when some aspects are beyond explanation.

For this reason, unbelievers often approach these discussions defensively and with a closed mindset. They argue that Christians must prove the existence of God and justify our beliefs because we are the ones making a claim. However, this stance overlooks the fact that everyone makes claims through their choices and lifestyle. Our actions reflect what we believe, regardless of whether we acknowledge it or not. It is only fair for unbelievers to explain why they live according to their own beliefs and choices.

To discover the truth, we must engage in open, two-sided conversations. While I will always believe in God because He has revealed Himself to me personally, such discussions can help others understand why Christians live as they do and why you live as you do. It's unfair to demand that someone abandon their beliefs without offering an explanation of what you stand for. Criticizing others' viewpoints without articulating your own can undermine your argument, suggesting a limited or narrow perspective.

If you’re open to it, let’s take this journey together.
