Leap of Doubt: I Still Have Doubts, So I Can't be a Christian
• You might wonder – how could he know me and still love me? If Jesus is God, surely he knows about the terrible things I’ve done, the terrible thoughts that I’ve had. Surely Jesus, if He knows me better than I know myself, knows that I am simply unlovable. But this is where we need to know that the truth of Scripture trumps our personal feelings – the Bible assures us that Jesus knows us and loves us still. This is the amazing grace of the gospel story – not that I have to clean myself up before Jesus will accept me and love me, but that He loves me and accepts me first. He knew Mary’s name. He knows my name. And He knows yours.

Leap of Doubt: You Can't Take the Bible Literally
But the real reason many of us struggle with the inspiration of John 3:16 is not all those background issues – it is simply its content. That I am so messed up in my sin that God had to send His Son to rescue me from my own destruction. The question today, as it has been during this whole series, is whether I am allowing my doubts to keep me from trusting in Christ. Am I allowing my intellectual issues (that really aren’t that strong when we look at them clearly) to cover for my spiritual issues? The Bible says in John 3:16 that eternal life is available to you today if you will simply put your faith in Jesus Christ. He died for your sins and rose again so that you would be able to live with God forever, your sins forgiven, your heart cleansed, God’s wrath completely satisfied. Will you, today, put your trust in Christ?

WHY Should I Trust the Bible?
Assumptions people make about the Bible: 1. The Bible isn't true. 2. The Bible is out of touch. Ephesians 5:33 (NIV): However, each one of you also must love his wife as he loves himself, and the wife must respect her husband. 3. The Bible is hard to read. a) Pick a good translation for you. b) Start a reading plan. Matthew 7:24-27 (NIV): “Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. [25] The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock. [26] But everyone who hears these words of mine and does not put them into practice is like a foolish man who built his house on sand. [27] The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell with a great crash."
