All people believe that something is true. If God is the God of truth and the true God, then God is truth. This Truth (capital T) is the context for all other truth. Therefore the existence of truth implies the existence of Truth, which implies the existence of God (The Argument from Truth, proponents- Augustine, A. Strong).

Der US-amerikanische evangelikale Theologe, Neutestamentler und Jurist H. Wayne House (* 1948) lehrte an mehreren Hochschulen und Seminaren in den USA. Er profilierte sich durch Arbeiten an der Schnittstelle von Exegese, Apologetik und Recht sowie als Mitbegründer des Council on Biblical Manhood and Womanhood, das ein komplementaristisches Verständnis der Geschlechterrollen vertritt. Für Bibelleser sind vor allem seine didaktischen Übersichtstafeln und Bibelkommentare von Bedeutung, die historische, theologische und bibelwissenschaftliche Zusammenhänge systematisch ordnen.

I believe in Christianity as I believe that the sun has risen, not only because I see it but because, by it, I see everything else.
C.S. Lewis

Matthias Claudius

The grip of our faith by which we hold on to the Lord may loosen. But the One in whom we believe holds us with his grip.
Helmut Thielicke

A man can no more diminish God's glory by refusing to worship Him than a lunatic can put out the sun by scribbling the word 'darkness' on the walls of his cell.
C.S. Lewis

Now that I am a Christian I do not have moods in which the whole thing looks very improbable: but when I was an atheist I had moods in which Christianity looked terribly probable.
C.S. Lewis

Faith comes and goes. It rises and falls like the tides of an invisible ocean. If it is presumptuous to think that faith will stay with you forever, it is just as presumptuous to think that unbelief will.
Flannery O'Connor

Our doubts are traitors, and make us lose the good we oft might win, by fearing to attempt.
William Shakespeare
