I believed that there was a God because I was told it by my grandmother and later by other adults.

Soar back through all your own experiences. Think of how the Lord has led you in the wilderness and has fed and clothed you every day.

Think of how the Lord's grace has been sufficient for you in all your troubles.

The touchstone of the Holy Spirit’s work in us is the answer to our Lord’s question: “Who do men say that the Son of Man is?” Our Lord makes human destiny depend on that one thing, Who men say He is, because the revelation of Who Jesus is is only given by the Holy Spirit.
