Some would say the best way to prove the reality of God would be for God, Himself, to show up. Certainly we'd be convinced if He came here, Himself. He'd do amazing miracles and reveal amazing truth and all would fall at His feet......Of course, this did happen a few thousand years ago and, as you recall, not everyone believed despite the miracles and the great truths revealed. We've become so blinded by sin that we really believe that lie Satan whispered to Eve in the Garden, that "You'll be just like God, knowing everything..." We actually can be convinced that we know better than God how to run our lives. We can be convinced that we don't need God. I think that's why God brings expert witnesses into the courtroom of truth to speak up for His reality. The "expert witnesses" are just regular people, like you and I, who have found God true and faithful and can testify to the fact that, at one time, their lives were like an unruly river that rampaged through life, crushing others in its path until the Lord came in and quieted the water to form a serene lake that reflected heaven. You see, in some ways, the best ones to tell others about God are regular people because those are the kind of people that God wants to reach. When a regular person invites Christ into his or her life and experiences change we connect because we are regular people too. So be encouraged. You may be the "expert witness" God has in mind to testify to the simple and profound differences the Lord has made since you put your personal trust in Him.
Acts 11:20-21 "Some of them, however, men from Cyprus and Cyrene, went to Antioch and began to speak to Greeks also, telling them the good news about the Lord Jesus. The Lord's hand was with them, and a great number of people believed and turned to the Lord."
