Personal experience dissolves doubt

More from Francis J. Hall:

“The idea of God thus derived, and thus formulated is a finite idea and anthropomorphic, but it is a true idea of the infinite and triune God.  Its truth is confirmed by its working value, by the multitude of problems which it solves, and by the mental and spiritual emancipation which is enjoyed by those who adopt it and guide their lives by its light. The personal experience of those who with divine assistance accept and apply the Christian idea of God dissolves doubt and develops belief into knowledge.”
