“If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater; for this is the witness of God which He has testified of His Son. He who believes in the Son of God has the witness in himself; he who does not believe God has made Him a liar, because he has not believed the testimony that God has given of His Son. And this is the testimony: that God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son.”
1 John 5:9-11

When you get on an airplane to fly, you’ve likely never seen that pilot and you’ve never examined that airplane, but you’ll trust them to fly across oceans and land. That’s faith. You live by faith every day of your life, and you put your faith in normal people. “If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater.” Men can lie. The Holy Spirit is truth. The Holy Spirit witnesses to us. That’s the reason I’m never moved when a man says, “Well, I can’t believe.” He’s a liar. If you want to believe, the Holy Spirit will enable you to believe.
Suppose, Brother Bob and Brother Jim are arguing with me about apple pie. I have an apple pie, and I’ve just eaten a big slice of it. And Jim says, “I don’t believe there is any apple pie. It doesn’t even exist.” And Bob says, “Well, I believe it exists, but it’s no good.” Do you think those two guys are going to disturb me? See, I have the witness in myself. The Bible says, “Taste and see that the Lord is good” (Psalm 34:8a). One way to find out whether apple pie is good or not is to taste and see. That’s our job; invite people to taste and see.
