While there are sound historical and rational supports for belief in the God of Jesus Christ and the claims of the Christian religion, these claims have not been established in such a way that all of humanity can be certain of their truth. The lordship of God is still to be established in history through the establishment of the kingdom. For those who witnessed the resurrection, there is empirical evidence that would leave no doubt about the power of God, but the rest of humanity must come to faith in a way that combines both faith and reason.
