A physician says, “That medicine will heal you.” The patient replies, “I want to see that it does heal me before I take it.” The man is a fool, and so are you if that is how you trifle with God. You must believe the gospel on the evidence of God, and not otherwise, or your faith is not faith in God at all. The faith which he commanded in the gospel is faith in the record which God has given concerning his Son, a faith which takes God at his word. Believe then, on the Lord Jesus Christ and you have believed God to be true: refuse to trust in Jesus Christ, unless you get some other evidence beyond the witness of God, and you have practically said that God’s testimony is not enough, that is to say, you have made God a liar.

Amen to that wow I just went into a local pub to be among the common people and a man who is an atheist said to me "Show me proof that God is here and then I'll believe." I said show me you have a spirit and I'll believe you have one.
Faith is believing on the evidence in which God has given regarding His Son. And I shall stand upon it and believe believe believe!! Simple faith simple trust
