What we need is God Himself.
That’s the claim. Where is the evidence?
And exactly what would you require to be evidence? I get the impression that a number of people want to see what is not evidence of God. So, they are limiting themselves to what they can come up with. If God is so more and better than we are, He can provide much more and better than what humans can look for. Plus, humans can misunderstand whatever God has provided; but if we get with Jesus, He can change us to be able to see and correctly understand any evidence God has provided.
However, if a person persists to require what is not real evidence of God . . . they're in their own trap!
For one thing, we have the universe which God created. If there is God who created the universe, then the universe is evidence of God. But then the problem would be with our inability to see that it is evidence of Him. And in case any of us do correctly see the universe as evidence of Go its Creator, what are we genuinely ready to do about it? Jesus has requirements; and ones might not want to believe they are required of us.
At a crime scene there can be plenty of evidence, but it is no good unless the investigators are able to detect it plus interpret it correctly.
So, for one thing, we do have the universe as evidence. But, evidence of what? If God made it, then I would say it is evidence of God existing and being the Creator, plus He has quite some ability which can help us much more than humans can help themselves. So, the capability evidenced in creation can be evidence of how wise we would be to depend on God and know we need how He is creative.
But ones do not want to depend on God and stay personally guided by Him, all the time. You can even talk with ones claiming to be Christians, who will adamantly insist that God won't guide you to brush your teeth, and you have you own free will to control if and what God can do with you. And then they suffer and mess up in their human strength and capability, not making the best use of their evidence.
And we have Romans 5:5 >
"Now hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us." (Romans 5:5)
Our Creator's own love is in "our hearts". We can experience this. But this comes through Jesus and His death and burial and resurrection and trusting in Him for all God has for us, with us personally submitting to Him and being personally guided by God in this love. Or else, we are not going to experience and correctly understand and live according to the evidence of God sharing His own love with His children and personally guiding us in this love. I am not aware of any Buddhist talking about experience of personally sharing with God and being personally guided in God's creativity for loving.
But a point is, that God the Creator so capable can in us make us creative for how to love each and every person, better than humans can love. Humans do not come close to being able to create what is in creation. God is so much more capable, and in His love we can share in His creativity. And we can experience this, as evidence for our own selves, though others can't see what is really happening inside ourselves.
One difference between human religion and Christianity is the human is self-produced, therefore limited to that human's ability. And the quality of God in His love is totally different than human, **not what created human senses can detect while humans are self-dependent**! They're on a different spiritual airwave, like the person blasting and trashing his ears with acid rock, right while the smooth jazz radio wave is quietly passing right through the guy's ears. He has evidence going right through his head, that there is smooth jazz, but . . . .
Likewise, you could have blasting rock in a room, and therefore you do not experience the quietly soul-resting smooth jazz also playing in the room. There are Christians like this, who have all their racket of unforgiveness, arguing and complaining, envy, stress, worry and fear, and lusts for useless pleasures dominating them and their thinking, even . . . so they are not hearing God quietly sharing with Him; or, they hear Him, so quiet, right while they are paying their attention to and are **cooperating** with their racket. I have had this happen > I could be going along with my nasty and negative thoughts and feelings, but at the same time I was hearing a quiet and humble voice proving me wrong. And for a while I might hear God but not take heed to Him. But now I tend to be quicker to snap out of my wrong stuff and sooner appreciating what God says.
I have heard things which turned out to be true later. That's evidence, included, for me. And there's the poetry. One time I was walking interstate with the clothes on my back, trusting God to exactly guide me. When two police asked me where I was going, I heard, "Tell them you are going to North Carolina to visit a church." Right! That would get me locked up, but I obeyed, and they, in Massachusetts, said, "Ok", and they let me go. Then in Rhode Island I got locked up. And one time we went on an outing to an eating place . . . north of the Carolina Management Area in Rhode Island. So, poetically I went to a sort of North Carolina. But what about going to a real church? I did walk, years later, to North Carolina and I visited with a church there.
And there is name poetry. A less common name is the name of a friend's cat, my sister's daughter's name, the name of an integrating member of a church where I visit, plus the last name of a niece's family. And one church where I went had three recovering ministers with the same first name, all in recovery and ministering. So, to me this is evidence of how God is not only in control, but with poetry even of people and their names.
This is a small sample of what I have been seeing, I would say not very statistically probable.
