My main agenda as a Christian isn’t to intellectually prove to anyone that the Bible is the Word of God. Let’s say you’re a skeptic and I was able to convince you that Noah existed, that there was a worldwide catastrophic flood, and that he put all the “kinds” of animals on earth into a massive boat.

That’s just one small step in trying to convince you that the whole Book can be trusted. I may then still have to convince you that Adam was made from dirt, that Jonah was swallowed by a whale, that Jesus walked on water, and of many other Bible stories that are harder to swallow than Jonah’s whale.

It’s far easier for me just to share the biblical gospel and let God miraculously open blind your eyes. No one convinced me of the validity of the stories of the Bible. Rather, God supernaturally transformed me in an instant, so that I knew by experience that with Him nothing is impossible. The new birth is an undeniable personal miracle. Once that happens to you, then any other miracles are a breeze. The storm can be stopped, waves can be calmed, bread can be multiplied, and so can fish. Water can be walked on, Red Seas can be opened, lion’s mouths closed, and a stack of animals can fit into one big boat.
