By faith we understand that
the world was created by the
word of God, so that what is
seen was made out of things
which do not appear.—(He­brews
11, 3.)
We have never "seen” elec­tricity,
or the “wave*” which
carry radio and TV sounds and
images. Yet we have faith in
them, for we know that they
an, and that they don't just
happen. Truly, how can anyone
then doubt for a moment that
God is?
