Jesus is all the proof we need

1 Kings 17:²⁴And the woman said to Elijah, "Now I know that you are a man of God, and that the word of the LORD in your mouth is truth."

1 Kings 18:³⁹And when all the people saw it, they fell on their faces and said, "The LORD, he is God; the LORD, he is God."

Colossians 2: ¹For I want you to know how great a struggle I have for you and for those at Laodicea and for all who have not seen me face to face, ²that their hearts may be encouraged, being knit together in love, to reach all the riches of full assurance of understanding and the knowledge of God’s mystery, which is Christ, ³ in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.

In 1 Kings, it talks about the prophet, Elijah, and how he was with a suicidal widow and her son during the drought. Although she and her household were given everything they needed to survive by God, she still did not believe that Elijah was a man of God. Maybe she thought they were being kept alive by another god or by a spirit. In any case, God's provision did not persuade her to acknowledge the true, living God. It wasn't until the resurrection of her son that she fully knew the almighty God and believed that Elijah was His prophet. Likewise, the people needed a miraculous sign to believe in God rather than Baal. It wasn't until the Holy fire of the Lord fell upon the offering, which was even soaked in water, that the people believed that God is the one, true God. Paul says that we have all the riches of full assurance of knowing and understanding God because of Jesus Christ. Jesus was also resurrected and presented as an offering acceptable to the Lord.

Because of Jesus, we have all that we need to believe in God. God has fully revealed Himself to us and His heart is to have all turn back towards Him. He isn't going to send more signs and wonders because He's already given more than enough proof that He is who He says He is. Why then, are there still so many unbelievers?
1. Some people do not know about Jesus.
That is why Evangelism is so important. The gospel must be heard everywhere. There are people who kind of know about Christianity, but they don't know Jesus Christ. If they knew Jesus Christ, they would turn back to the one, true Heavenly Father.
2. Some people are not supposed to receive salvation.
This is a hard one to swallow, but it is so true. There are some people out there that will not receive God's grace. God knows that they will reject Jesus. He still pursues them, but they will never turn back.
As a Christian, I must focus on my relationship with Jesus and telling others about Jesus. In Jesus, people have everything they need to repent. Unlike the times of Elijah, we do not need another sign or wonder. God has made Himself and salvation completely plain and it is the commission of the church to tell those who don't know so that they may believe and return to God.

Heavenly Father, You are the one, true God. Thank You for revealing who You truly are to us through Your Son, Jesus Christ. Lord, I thank You also for Your grace in opening my eyes to the truth and opening my heart to accept Jesus' life, death, and resurrection. I love You, Jesus. I pray for the forgiveness of my doubting mind. Please keep me focused on You. Help me to tell others about You, Jesus. Show me how to be bold in my knowledge of You. I pray all this in the precious name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
