Hebrews 11:1 says faith is the substance of hope and the proof of unseen things. Faith doesn't need evidence; it is the evidence. Our faith isn't about stuff we can see; it's about believing God's promises and acting on them. The proof comes later, as our lives change. In John's Gospel, belief often comes from witnessing miracles, but in the end, we're urged to believe without seeing. Peter, in 2 Peter 1, emphasizes the power of God's word over seeing miracles. Prophecy, God's word, and the story of redemption matter more than just seeing cool stuff. Thomas's doubt is relatable. Doubt isn't just about not having proof; it's often deeper, tied to past hurts or unmet expectations. Doubt doesn't define us; it's how we handle it that matters. Thomas's story teaches us to trust in Jesus, even when we can't see Him, leading to a deeper faith.
