Moore opens by turning the phrase around in a way that surprises: before we can believe God, we need to understand what kind of God it is we are being asked to believe.
Discussion Questions
7 questions1.What does Moore establish about God's own character as the foundation for believing Him? Why does it matter *who* God is before we can trust *what* He says?
2.Moore emphasizes that God is not just the object of our faith but its author and sustainer. How does Hebrews 11:1 — 'faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen' — shape the way she frames what it even means to believe?
3.Think about a time when you found it genuinely difficult to trust someone — a parent, a friend, an employer. What made trusting them hard? How does that experience illuminate the challenge of trusting God, who cannot be seen?
