Why doesn’t God just prove himself once and for all?
God has — supremely in Jesus, who came in flesh, taught, suffered, died, and rose with many witnesses. The issue is rarely lack of evidence but a heart that does not want to bow to a God it cannot control.
Pharaoh saw ten plagues and still hardened his heart. The crowds saw Jesus heal and feed and rise — and many still chose not to believe. More evidence is not always the cure for unbelief.
God has gone to the limit of self-disclosure: "In these last days he has spoken to us by his Son" (Hebrews 1:2). The empty tomb is the public sign that Jesus is Lord.
Faith is not "belief without evidence" but trust in light of the evidence God has given. Some of that evidence quietly waits to be looked at honestly; some of it asks to be lived before it is finally understood.
