Like many people in the world, I grew up with no faith and no knowledge of God. I walked with no regard for God, who created me, and I was comfortable with the things of this world. I regarded the things of the Bible as foolishness and vain imaginations of people desperate for something to comfort them.
I am sure that I would have remained in this state of ignorance without God’s intervention. God opened my eyes to spiritual realities during my last year in Finland before I moved to the UK to study economics. It was at this time that I found myself asking questions that I had never asked before. Providentially, God brought into my life a Christian classmate who spoke of the things of the Lord to me. I was curious about the things that she shared with me, but I could not just take her word for it.
As I started reading the Bible, I read about things that I had never heard before. I thought maybe these words are true, yet I struggled to accept that this really is so. I remember asking God for supernatural signs to prove that He exists. He never gave me one, but instead He gave me faith to believe what I was reading.
This Word – the inspired Scriptures, truly is God’s Word and Truth. In it, we hear the very voice of God. As I was reading the Scriptures, I saw that this God of the Bible, the God who created Heaven and Earth, is different from the distant deity that I had imagined. He is majestic, merciful and patient. He is full of love and perfect in his manifestation. His love is pure, and he hates evil. God is holy and perfect.
