Q I have been hurt by Christians in the past, why should I even believe in God?
Part of being human means having the capacity to hurt and wound those around us at any time. The reason is that none of us are perfect. We all hold beliefs, but none of us outwork them perfectly. For example, you may believe that violence solves nothing, but if someone hits you first, the belief may temporarily take a back seat! Christians believe that God is love and are asked to love others as God loves us. However, this perfect love is only imperfectly demonstrated in imperfect people. It’s important to know love from those around us, but to know perfect love is to discover this real love from its source. Psalm 139 is well worth a read on God’s amazing love for us.
