Three Reasons Why History Matters to the Christian Faith_Jonathan Morrow

Today, we will be listening to Jonathan Morrow’s article Three reasons Why History matters to the Christian faith. Jonathan Morrow is a professor at Biola University and the Director of Cultural Engagement and Immersion at Impact 360 Institute where he devotes himself to train high school and college students in Christian worldview and apologetics to defend their faith. Jonathan Morrow shares with us how important it is that Christianity is founded on historical fact. Christian faith is not blind faith but it is grounded in history, based on reason and evidence and it hinges on the historical fact of the resurrection of Jesus. I think what he says in this article is so important, because a lot of Christians and kids like me who grew up in the church sometimes assume that it is truth without digging into the evidence. And others say that there is no evidence or truth. But if our faith is not founded on truth, why do we believe it? ANd if we do not have absolute assurance in our faith, how can we boldly proclaim this gospel? As we read this article, we really want our faith to be grounded in nothing else but the historical fact that Jesus rose from the dead and have deep conviction, having full assurance of faith resting in every promise of the Word of God.
