God's thoughts and ways are by no means equivalent to man's. How, then, can we
hope to understand those things which He has communicated to us in His Word?

To be sure God has not told us all He knows, but what He has provided is 
sufficient for our faith, and He has also given clues as to the nature of
many things we can only fully know in eternity.  But the aspect of Scripture
that sets it apart from all other "religion" writings is that its truth are 
surrounded by and based on historical and scientific facts that are verifiable.

The fact that we find Scripture to be accurate whenever it can be checked.
gives us reason to believe that those teachings which we can't check are
accurate as well.

What are some of God's favorite object lessons?  Certainly His creation is
one.  A God who can call something into existence which  didn't exist before
can do anything.  "Lift up your eyes on high, and behold who hath created
these things" (Isaiah 40:26).  Another standard is God's delivernce of Israel
from Egypt. "According to the days of thy cominng out of the land of Egypt
will I show into him marvelous things"  (Micah 7:15).

Yet another is the second regathering of Israel in the last days.  "The Lord
liveth, that brought up the children of Israel from ... all the lands wither
He had driven them" (Jeremiah 16:15. cf., v. 14).  The final great guarantee
that He will work on our behalf is the fact of  the resurrection. "His power 
to us-ward  who  believe, according to the working of His mighty power.
Which He wrought in Christ, when He raised Him from the dead" (Ephesians
1:19-20).

Make no mistake!  God is capable of solving any problem we have.  And what's
more, He wants us to know it!
