Love is a word we use, to express our feelings, emotions and affections to someone we are fond of.

According to the online definitions, love as a noun is “a strong feeling of affection,” “a great interest and pleasure in something.” As a verb, it is defined as “to feel deep affection for someone” (sexually). We will discuss this question based off the second definition.

How do you know that you “love” someone? How can you proof you are in love? Can you proof that those feelings exist? How do you decide that this is love, when you can’t see or touch it? If you can believe in love which you can’t see, and you are ready to walk down that aile  or sign papers in court, on the conviction that you are in love; why then is it so hard for people to believe in God? Why is the thought of him “abstract” to you?

Isn’t the term “love” just an abstract word that has been placed to give one an idea of what you feel inside?

 Jesus sure was right when he said over 2000 years ago in John 14:17 that “The Spirit of Truth. The world cannot accept him, because it neither sees him nor knows him. But you know him, for he lives with you and will be in you.”

Like Solomon said, there’s nothing new under the sun. How much evidence do you need to see before you acknowledge that Jesus had predicted that this was going to be your unrest? You acknowledge based on tangible evidence to proof that something exists. How do you know that this is the one when you cannot proof that your feelings exist?

If you were with Jesus back then, would your story of abstractness change? Do you have to see him in order to believe that he exists? Take a moment and think about this: “Sometimes I wonder… will God ever forgive us for what we’ve done to each other? Then I look around and I realize… God left this place a long time ago.” Danny Archer.

Is this the reason why, you think God is abstract, floating in my mind? Then how do you explain such a phrase “I believe…” when you use in determining your view on an argument? Isn’t that a sign of faith?

Does Jesus have to really appear before you, to proof that his hypothesis was correct? He predicted that the world cannot accept him, because it neither sees him nor knows him. The answer is NO. The world has proved his hypothesis correct, when it rejects him and writes him off as fiction, abstractness and as myth.

The good news is, that only those who have faith that Jesus lives will see him in their everyday life. He gives them a reason to continue living. How do you know you are in love, when you cannot see or touch it, and claim that you cannot believe in a God whom you can’t see or touch? Wouldn’t it mean love does not exist, since you can’t see or touch it?
