Some things are not always visible or definable, but they are a part of our reality. In other words, there are things in life that must be received on faith rather than sight. Our faith in Jesus Christ and in the validity of the scriptures is where it begins.
We believe that Jesus Christ has already given us a Theory of Everything! I spoke about this theory or belief last Sunday.

What has come into being in him was life, and the life was the light of all people. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not overcome it.
