In this episode, Dr. David Block shares with us how he came to believe in Jesus. While a young Jewish astronomer, Dr. Block did not believe in a God who personally reveals himself. But as Dr. Block shares about his love for the Bible, his testimony, his joys, how he met his wife, and about the ministry he directs called Reasons to Believe (Africa), you will see that he has come to know the Lord Jesus, the Maker of the stars, who reveals himself to us personally in a myriad of ways.

📖 Romans 12 (Bible Verse): https://www.bibles.net/reader/esv/romans-12/
“If you want to know how to follow Jesus, read Romans 12” (Luke Smallbone).

Luke spends some time talking about the love of God and also how those who belong to Jesus are perfectly loved by him and seen as righteous in his sight. If you would like to understand these truths from the Bible, a great place to look is Romans 8, where God explains that there is no condemnation left for those who put their trust in Jesus, and they can never be separated from God's love.
