Our own experience is the only rational grounding for the individual person to believe in the reality of God. However, our experience is not necessarily normative for other persons. gg
“The New
Testament records show, I believe, that Jesus was vividly aware of ‘living in
the unseen presence of God', as abba, father. God, as personal living will, was
as real to him as his neighbors or as the hills and rivers and lake of Galilee.”
John Hick, “An
Interpretation of Religion”, 1989, 216.
Jesus gave
out repeated invitations to follow me, become a seeker of your God experience.
Seek and you will find, there is a mystic in all of us. (Matt. 7: 7&8).
