If God became a man, we would expect supernatural doings. The great miracles of Jesus testify to this.

If God became a man, we would expect Him to manifest the love of God. Christ was completely unselfish. He cared for the sinful, brokenhearted, the contrite, the despised, the poor. His supreme act of love is what He did on the cross.

If God became a man, we would expect His personality to be true humanity. God has shown us what a true, real man should be like. He has shown us, as well as told us, what to do.

The character of Jesus is one of the greatest evidences of His deity that can be given.

I believe Christianity can be verified through the miracles Christ performed. Would the New Testament be worth believing without miracles? Miracles authenticate the message of Christ. Jesus appeals to His miracles for His true divinity (John 10:24, 37, 38; Luke 7:20-22). These miracles were performed in the full light of history. Many were performed before the public eye. Many were performed in the company of unbelievers. There were all types of miracles. We have the abundant testimony of the cured. There is no adequate evidence contrary to miracles.

I believe Christianity can be verified through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the grave. The resurrection is the miracle. Despite the unbeliever's attitude toward this miracle, not one through the ages has been able to explain it away. And what about the hundreds of people who saw Jesus after His resurrection, and on many different occasions (1 Corinthians 15)? The testimony is sure and our faith in Christ is certain.
