Logics?

Is it wrong if I use logics and love them to prove that God is real?
I have faith but I always liked logics and using them to belive in God, more then faith? Is such a step wrong???

1 Peter 3:15 says: But in your hearts revere Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect

The greek word translated reason for is apologia. That is a combination of apo = for and logia = reason. We are to be able to explain the logic that underlies our belief.

Belief is trusting. I can show you logically that a chair will hold your weight, but it is when you actually sit on the chair that your belief is demonstrated.

I can explain why Christ is worth of your belief, but you must embrace Him.

So reason and faith are both important.

We are to present our reasons with gentleness and respect. Reasons alone will not produce belief. Many suppress the facts because they are unwilling to trust because in doing so they must admit their guilt and need. Pride can only be overcome by God softening a heart.

Does that help?
